Brought Her with Me
"I used to swim five days a week, but now I get my exercise by pushing my daughter's stroller for two miles every day," says 38-year-old stay-at-home mom Patricia Herren of Kihei, Hawaii.

"A few days a week I spend an hour either on the treadmill or doing videos while my son's taking a nap," says Tiffany Morton, 33, a real-estate agent in Rockwall, Texas. "I also hired a trainer who designed a strength-training routine and showed me the proper form for a workout using resistance bands, a stability ball, and weights."
