Help! I need ideas!!!

Ok, long story short, I'm stuck at home with the kids today. One is in trouble at school. My activities for the day are quite limited.

I missed out on the gym yesterday and would really like to get some kind of workout in. I would do a video in the living room, but the kids will want to join in and we just don't have enough room.

Well, the kids have things they are supposed to be doing today since one is in trouble and one is supposedly "sick." I guess if they do good we can always have a heated game or two of DDR. If not I can always take them to the gym with the books they're supposed to be reading today.

Any other thoughts on this? I'd like to have a couple more options ready. Things never go as planned around here.

Depending on the level/kind of sickness happenin', might a speedy and lengthy walk be an option for you all? (Do you guys still have pooches?)

What about yardwork? That would be 'killing two birds' getting them to help you.

I posted this in GP. Try doing lunges while vacuuming, squats while dusting, crunches during commericals, etc... by the time your done with your day you got at least an hours work out in. =)

actually, shiva couldn't handle apartment life - his high-strung nature didn't take, so he's vactioning in the hills and dales.
