💪🏼 Episode 33: 7 ways to incorporate your kids into your exercise routine
Description
Lots of people who listened to Episode 31 (4 strategies for moving past your exercise excuses!) told me, "But Leah - I can't exercise because I have kids! I don't have the time and I don't have the energy."
Can't exercise because you have kids? It's time we flip that statement on its head.
We NEED to exercise BECAUSE we have kids!
We want the best for our kids, but we can only give to them what we have to give. We need to be a positive role model for them on how to take care of themselves, especially for young girls.
Join me for Episode 33 where I share 7 strategies I have used to incorporate my son, Caleb, into my exercise routine.
