Finding Time to Fit in Exercise
As a mom of 5 kids, I am always busy. I tell myself all the time “I don’t know how you do it”. I drive my kids to school; take them to after school activities, church, the works. Honestly I spend more time in the car than I do actually speaking to my husband.
No matter what exercise option you choose, it’s important to exercise safely. If you do injure yourself, make sure you take care of it right away. I use ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandages whenever I need to wrap up a sore knee or sprained ankle. ACE™ Brand offers a complete line of elastic compression bandages, hot and cold therapy products, and knee, ankle, elbow, wrist and back braces, wraps and supports.
ACE™ Brand has made a huge improvement to their bandage by fixing the old clip. The ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage with the new and improved ACE™ Brand Clip is easy to use and secure. The new ACE™ Brand Clip securely fastens with a simple click, so you can customize the compression you need to give firm support to sprains and injuries without snagging your clothes. The ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage stays elastic after multiple uses and washings.
Tired of those pesky metal clips? Try the new ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage with ACE™ Brand Clip. It’s quick, comfortable and more secure. Hear more from Arthur, Motivational Sportsgent on the innovative new fastener in the series of videos.

Finding the time to exercise can be difficult, but it will be worth it. You will make your body stronger and set an amazing example for your children. Just be sure to use the ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage with the new and improved ACE™ Brand Clip when you need that extra support or compression!
These are all great tips! I am basically incapable of waking up early (total night owl) so I just try to fit in a workout during nap time if I can 🙂
I use to love to exercise but have gotten lazy over the years. I need to find away to get back that motivation!
I try to get the kids outdoors to play and that’s when I exercise. I walk with the kids or let them ride their bikes a head of me and I speed walk to keep up with them. I’m not much of a gym person.
I think I would be a wreck if I got up that early! Now that I am a working mom, I’m having trouble staying consistent with my exercise. Involving the kids is a good idea though.
I usually walk 2-3 miles every morning. My daughter and I leave the house at 6:30am and get home around 8. We homeschool so this is her P.E. time
Oh wow these have come a long way! I like the clip that fastens it ensuring for a snug fit!
It really can be hard to find the time to fit it in. We try really hard to take a family walk each night.
These are excellent tips. Lord knows I need the tips and to get up and DO them!
I don’t. That’s why your suggestions are really helpful as I can try to figure out what best works for me. Good for you waking up before the sun and for running while the kids bike!
It is sooo hard to find the time to exercise, but I really try to do at least a few sit ups or lift weights, even if it is right before bed. I know…worst time of the day.
I’m grateful if I can find time to exercise even once during the week. It’s important for my health, but I can never seem to carve out time for it.
Great tips. I need to put some serious effort in to making time for exercise. I’ve been pretty lax lately.
It’s really important to exercise. It keeps you sharp,and it keeps your energy level up. It’s just so darn hard to find time to do it.
I do my level best to exercise everyday. That’s why I get it in about three times a week.
I try to make time for exercise whenever I can. Notice I said “try” and “whenever I can”. =/
Thanks for the great tips. It can be so difficult to make time for exercise.
I really should make time to exercise. I know I should do it, but I just never do.
I’ll remember those support wraps. They’ve come a long way over the years.
Fantastic tips. I really need to wake up earlier and fit in more exercise. I always plan to do it and then don’t…..I need to kick myself in the butt.
If I don’t go to the gym first thing in the morning, I won’t go at all… I need to just go and get it out of the way… HA! I love that Ace has come out with such a great elastic bandage…
What a great thing! I’m wrapped in an older style Ace bandage right now from a fall! I will have to go check out the new ones tomorrow!
Right now I don’t make it a priority but I need to. I’d like to get up early, but I keep sleeping through my alarm!! DOH!
I need to find more time to fit in exercise, I have been neglecting it lately. Thanks for the reminder.
These are all great ideas to get in some exercise time! It is hard to make time but it is worth it!
I love the new clip on the ACE bandage. These are great tips to help me get started working out again. I know I need to, but it’s hard to find time to start that routine.
For the past year I have set aside time to walk each evening. I have walked through blizzards, hurricanes bad rain storms. It keeps my accountable.
That looks like something I need to do. Sometimes I just don’t feel good and don’t want to, but I need to suck it up.
Oh that looks like a great improvement. I love that they updated, I could never keep it latched on with the old clips!
Great tips. We are trying to be more self conscious about exercising as a family and taking more walks around the neighborhood.
Exercise has been something that has been on my back burner for far too long. We just started walking with a new neighbor. Twice a week right after we get the kids on the bus. I take my preschooler with us in a stroller so I can still get that walk in. But when we can’t walk, I try to do extra housework to get in some activity.
I am so exhausted by the time I get home from work that I can’t get myself going to exercise. However, I find that if I do a little bit throughout the day, it’s not so bad!
I make time every single day to workout. Even if I have to get up early or take a late class at the gym.
Great tips! I have three kids so it’s hard for me to find time; if I do, it’s usually easiest early in the morning or late at night while everyone else is still asleep!
