I have two children aged 8 and 9. We are super busy outdoors, four cats (only 1 indoor), two dogs and very active in swimming, martial arts and outdoor activities. We try to exercise every night for 45 minutes, sometimes my kids get a upset if this doesn't happen and make sure to remind me we missed it. My kids are very fun kids and love to run the "fun" 5K runs when they are offered. This year we did a fun 5k run in the Bahamas :) We are a very active family but every now and then we need a little down time just like everyone else!
