exercising and being a stay at home mom

They say you need an hour of exercise a day at least to stay healthy along with eating right. But between chores and baby how do you exercise? Well when the baby is a newborn as long as you eat healthy you should only worry about doing 20 minutes of yoga a day and don't worry about losing the baby weight just yet. You're a new mom it's ok to have a little pouch for the first year. But once your baby can entertain her/himself it's ok to start working out. One way is to do chores while baby naps and exercise in their room while they play. Another way if you take baby to the park you can do stretches on the way their and cardio while s/he plays with the other children. personally I get my chores done while she plays in the living room, but I'm lucky enough to have an open kitchen so I can see her playing from every room in my house. Some moms cook dinner while baby naps and have baby follow and play in the rooms they are working in. Laundry is still a process I was doing it when she went to bed. But I cloth diaper and want to sun them and she wakes up so early it's hard to get it done before she wakes up. My laundry room isn't very baby friendly so I have to get laundry done before dad goes to work so he can watch her for me. once chores are done, I've read her a story and put her down for a nap i do 30 minutes of cardio I get other other 30 minutes done in yoga before bed after she goes to bed.I haven't kept track of how much I've lost but my pants do feel looser. It's all about balance you can do it and you will feel great about yourself when you bring balance to your life.
