Evening Workout

Remember how to get a busy mom to work out in the morning?  Well, here's how to get a busy mom to work out in the evening:

Put kids in bed and listen to them laughing together.  Sit down at computer.  Hear a LOUD thump, signifying that Tabitha has finally climbed out of the crib.  Go racing up the stairs at full tilt, scaring the cat witless.

Pick up crying two year old and comfort her while big brother tells you she fell out and hit her head just like he did when he was a baby (which he did not actually do).

After finding out she is okay, and rocking her until she stops crying, scold her for trying to crawl out of her crib.  She says she will never do it again.

The adrenaline rush will keep your heart rate up for at least 30 minutes, the recommended amount of time for good cardiac exercise.
