  • Break exercise up into small chunks of time. Even ten minutes a day is a great start.
  • Check out apps and online videos for short exercise routines you can squeeze in whenever suits you. 
  • Walk or cycle whenever you can to build exercise into your daily routine. 
  • Do squats while you’re picking up toys.
  • Do calf raises while you’re chopping veg.
  • Walk up and down escalators and avoid elevators.
  • Join in during playtime, there’s nothing like a game of tag to get your heartrate going.
  • Check if your local gym offers childcare or a creche—many do.
  • Go for buggy walks with other parents and catch up while you get your steps up. Choose hilly areas for a more intense work-out.
  • Participate in a mom and toddler workout by incorporating your baby into your exercises.
  • Find toddler exercise videos on YouTube for you both to try.
