We have dance parties! And we try to take lots of walks in the park with daddy and with other moms.

My 2 1/2 year old is having fun with Soccer Stars. On the weekends, she loves to run around the Museum of Natural History – great space and sites for her!

I love taking my 14 month old daughter to Stroller Strides at The Westchester. It is a great workout for me and the fact that I can bring my daughter with me makes it even better.

I use the wii. There are quite a few games that I can do while my son is either taking a nap. They also have games that you can play with your child. On a warm day I go walking.

I take my son to Sokol New York for gym class each week. It is great excercise for him and tires me out too since I have to chase him around!

My daughter takes ballet and swim lessons and we dance on our own all the time!

My daughter takes Ballet and my son takes Taekwondo. We also have a pretty spacious basement where they ride their bikes and scooters throughout the winter or we have races, do jumping jacks, sit-ups…anything to get some exercise during the cold winter months. Today we tried a roller skating rink in Long Island and had so much fun while getting exercise. In the Spring and Fall we go hiking, biking and/or take long walks.

There is nothing like playing in the snow to tucker out my 2 year old who loves to kick it, dig it, roll in it, climb it, pull me in the sled, make snow angels, etc. He gets these adorable rosie cheeks and falls asleep much easier. On days we don’t do out, we run around chasing each other in the apartment, or take the cushions off the old couch so he can jump on them, and we do yoga (he has his own mat and will do a few poses, but he prefers crawling under my down dog, sliding down my bridge pose and climbing on top of me whenever possible, which gives me quite a workout and he has a blast. There’s no relaxation pose at the end however, so when the sitter is over, I try to do some yoga outside the home as well.

There are ~10 of us that rotate houses for a playdate on Monday afternoons. It’s a great excuse to get out of the house on a cold day and socialize with your friends while your kids get to interact with new and exciting toys they don’t have at home. I also love Super Soccer Stars (we take at Kidville)–it’s 45 min. of running and more running that is sure to wear your toddler out for a good winter’s nap!

Gymnastics at The Littlle Gym – because it has real equipment, bars, beams etc, I want to play too so we both get a good workout. Plus playing chase makes her giggle, so we have fun running around. Anything active that you enjoy and they enjoy doesn’t feel like an effort.
