She was so excited to share some of her adventures of working out with her kids with us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How did you get your kids interested in working out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I&#8217;m a mom that loved her solo workouts before the kids woke up. Then my 2 year old started getting up at 5:30am and the schedule had to change. My 5 year old has also been waking earlier as well. Now I do my basement bootcamp routine with the kids.<\/p>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9289218266222230\" data-ad-slot=\"2581675933\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Was it hard adjusting to working out with your kids?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At first I found it really frustrating but now I kind of enjoy it. I often have to stop to retrieve a toy, wipe a nose, or settle an argument, but I love that I&#8217;m leading by example and hopefully passing on the importance of fitness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What is your favorite workout to do with your children?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">My 2 year old often lays on my back while I&#8217;m holding plank or doing pushups, so I figure the extra weight balances out the interruptions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How often do you work out together?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We work out almost every day, I used to do 3 times a week but the shorter&nbsp;duration more frequently works better with the kids.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Do the kids have a favorite workout?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">They love unrolling the mats and my 5 year old loves the supine bicycle move.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>It is evident how passionate you are about working out as a family. What advice would you offer parents interested in implementing a family workout routine of their own?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I really believe it\u2019s important to just start and just do the best you can. Don\u2019t expect to get through a workout without having to stop and help the kids, just get started and do what you can. It\u2019s better than not doing it at all and you\u2019re setting a great example of how to incorporate fitness. Hopefully they get used to the routine and everyone starts enjoying the group fitness time together!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/smartcoos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fitness2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1045 aligncenter\" alt=\"Smart Coos- Kathryn-Lagden-Fitness-Tuesday2\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcoos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fitness2-1024x575.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"348\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;<em>If you liked Kathryn\u2019s workout ideas &amp; great advice be sure to let her know.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Twitter: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/homeroommomcom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@homeroommomcom <\/a><\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homeroommom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.homeroommom.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact:&nbsp;kl@kathrynlagden.com<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Also, you can find Kathryn on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/homeroommom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>Let us know what you think about Kathryn&#8217;s weighted planks the natural way?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9289218266222230\" data-ad-slot=\"2581675933\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; by: Smart Coos FITNESS TUESDAY Kathryn Lagden: Weighted planks the natural way Kathryn Lagden is a part-time WAHM (work at home mom) and co-creator of Burlington Parents, a website to share family-focused events and activities in Burlington, Ontario.
