Lack Child Care

You feel trapped in the house. Escape. Be a role model for impressionable youth. Encourage your child to participate in physical activity as soon and as often as possible. Have them play and work alongside you - it will instill good work and sweat ethic. Squeeze in some crunches and stretching while they are sprawled out on the floor or napping.

So many strategies - it's like child's play!

	Play/Work with your children. Take them on a hike, bike ride. Play sports with them - their energy level is endless! Employ your children - rake leaves, plant a garden, sweep out the garage together. The family that sweats together....sticks together!
	ASP - Alternate Spousal Parenting. One of you take off for 30 minutes while the other watches the kids and start food preparation. Switch off when your partner returns. Upon return - dinner will be served.
	Hire a local baby sitter or make use of the kid's play at the local fitness center. Better yet drop them off at a neighbors or relatives - but be prepared to have to reciprocate someday.
	Jog around the field while they are at little league or soccer practice. You can keep one eye their performance and the other on potholes.
	Baby Jogger or bike seat. You've seen it on TV - now you too can walk/jog/run with your baby in stroller, or in tow. The extra weight or pushing may increase intensity and its a great role modeling experience.
