My 1 year old wakes up at 5am most days.I'm so tired that just the thought of getting into my gym kit exhausts me,let alone going for a run or doing an exercise DVD!Any ideas?
A:Try doing something that raises your heart rate early on in the day - dance along the radio,sprint up and down the stairs a few times,or take your baby out for a brisk walk.This will boost blood flow to your brain which ,in turn,will help wake you up and increase energy.Then try to incorporate mini-workouts into the rest of your day;forget going to the gym,do some squats while you brush your teeth or tricep dips while you're waiting for dinner to cook.You can even include your baby in your workout.Hold your baby tightly in front of you as you do a couple of sets of squats,or do baby chest-presses lying on your back.You could also sign up for a mum-and-baby outdoor exercise class.If you commit to a course of classes you'll be more likely to go,especially if you sign up with a friend - that way,you will have double the resolve.
