My oldest daughter has vacated her bedroom, which opens up more space to use our creativity. My youngest child has moved into the vacated room, so we have made the smaller bedroom into a mini-gym. Last year I moved my gym to the sunroom, but it is not heated so it has gotten little use since the cold weather began. We now have a treadmill, workout bench and weights, Needak rebounder and two other rebounders up against the wall, the reflex bag and a small t.v. for workout videos and my Yoga/pilates/The Firm video collection in a tiny room. I have one of those over the door shoe- holder bags filled with various elastic straps and other hand weight gadgets and on the floor. My hand weights and an ab roller are in a corner. Stacked in another corner are several mats/cushions and yoga bags.
I cannot stress enough how important body movement is to our health. Click on the links below to see the benefits of :

weight-bearing exercise: 8 workouts for strong bones
Get your body moving...find an exercise that you can enjoy so that you will continue to do it.
Get your children involved. I take my youngest rollerblading when I take my walks in one of our local parks. We always keep her blades & gear in the car so we are ready anytime we are out running errands and I find that I have at least 1/2 hr. to spare. She enjoys this and so do I...quality time in more ways than one. Of course we only do this in warmer weather...I can hardly wait!!!
