This is a great idea DJ and great work everyone that's trying to add so me exercise into your day. We had a BBQ with friends last night and the host has a basketball court two of the boys picked teams and it was a rough and tumble game but such great exercise and we all had a fantastic time. We had two halfs with a large rest period so the adults could recover but all got up for a second go. It's always great exercising with others and the competitive streak came out in all of us.

I havent done any exercise for over 4 weeks.

I cant wait to be fixed and be back at the gym. The gym & cooking are the things I do regularly. I miss my gym friends too :( it is so much better to exercise with a friend, I used to have a friend but then she went back to work full time. Now I just catch up with whoever is there.

Happy to participate & climb hills again asap.

Couldn't go out today, kids at home, had to work in the morning then Melbourne cup lunch etc at home. So instead of a walk I rushed through some housework with no breaks, vacuuming, sweeping, washing floors upstairs & down so that I felt like I was getting a small workout LOL. Maybe I should get a wii - can't leave kids at home by themselves so I can go for a walk.

At what age can you leave children alone?

Not sure mcmich - mine are 7 & 9; I do leave them if I need to pop out for milk but I've only recently started doing that. Wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them for more than 10-15 mins.

Maybe double figures? I was a terrible mum. DH went to work about 7.00am and I got home from night duty about 8.00am.
They were 8 and 10. It wasn't an issue 15yrs ago. They are still here to tell the tale.

I'm so proud of you DFM, well done!! :D :D

In regards to leaving children home alone, it also depends how mature they are ;)
