Getting Fitter
Yet another reason for leaving my full time office job in London to be full time mother to our young twins was due to the fact that despite feeling tired all the time I was leading an incredibly sedentary existance and I wanted to build more physical activity into my life.
Since we moved at the begining of July 2006 (about 10 weeks ago now) my day to day routine involves a lot more movement as I am constantly chasing after the children, hanging out washing, sweeping, mopping, lifting etc. but I feel just as unfit.
Now that the children have started a few sessions at the local preschool I am blessed with 2 child-free hours each day which could have some exercise built into them.
The plan is as follows: The preschool is a reasonable distance to our house along an incredibly busy main road with a very narrow footpath. I’m not able to walk with the children to the school due to the high risk of at least one of use being flattened by a lorry but instead I am going to leave the car in the village once I have taken them to school, jog back to our house, do some work and then a little later jog back to fetch the kids home in the car.
I’m also excited by the prospect of two local classes I have seen advertised this weeks - yoga and tae kwon do.
