I was joking earlier about running after my sons. I wouldn't put that task on anyone. I'm still getting back in shape after having my son, and I've jogged three times a week for about a 1.0-2.0 miles at a time. I lift a little bit, but I do more cardio exercises. I do two consecutive sets of crunches (30 each), followed by two consecutive sets of push-ups (30 each), followed lastly by three consecutive sets of squats/side kicks (10 each). I do all of that twice a day (morning and evening). I also eat healthy. I have a chocolate weakness, but I have found that Skinny Cow products do wonders for that craving! Lastly, I chase a busy 4-year-old and 8-month-old around all day long. Joking aside, that really does burn the calories!
