Does the exercise count when my 4 year old and 2 year old are helping? I have been trying to exercise at least every other day. I usually get up early and go to the gym or on a walk before Kevin leaves for work. Obviously, I am a little extra tired these days so it is getting harder and harder to get up early. I have the Denise Austin Fit & Firm Pregnancy DVD. It is not great (mainly because Denise Austin can be REALLY annoying), but it is something to do when I don't get up early.
Today, however, the girls wanted to join me - quite funny watching them attempt to do the aerobic steps. I had to remind Lucy to move over to the side or she was going to get bumped into. She would respond, "But Mom, I esercising too."
Norah kept asking, "Is this right, Mom? Am I doing this right?" She also wanted me to pause the dvd a couple of times to show her the steps again.
The strength training part was even funnier. Basically, Denise Austin stands behind/beside the girls who are doing to exercises and pointing to their muscles or describing what they are doing. Norah just stood behind me and copied Denise. I was cracking up while trying to do the leg lifts because Norah basically lifted my leg for me.
Well, even it it wasn't the best workout ever, I can at least say I exercised today.

Ahh yes good ole Denise Austin!!! The girls and I have "worked out" (if that's what you call it) to many of her DVD's. :) "Burnin butter" does she say that in any of your videos?
Good for you.....I can't believe you're that ambitious to exercise and have two toddlers and being pregnant! WOW!!
**How's the morning sickness going? Still in the clear?**
Still feeling great and since I am almost 14 weeks along - I'm hoping to feel this way the rest of the pregnancy!! Thanks for asking!
