antibiotics for a short period of time? The only are affective for a
short while because the body builds up an immune system to them. One of

Many women have an extra challenge when dieting - Motherhood. A trip to
the gym is out of the question with soccer practice and dance class to
attend. But there has to be a way to fit exercise into your motherhood
routine if you want to lose weight, without losing your sanity. Below
you'll find some suggestions for calorie burning activities real moms
can do to fit exercise into their lives.
Lose Weight By Hitting The Road
Once
the school age kids have hit the bus, take a brisk walk for an hour. If
you need to, bring your child along in a stroller. Pushing the stroller
while taking a brisk walk will actually increase the calories burned,
not to mention that your child would probably enjoy it.
Lose Weigh By Exercise Videos
Use
aerobics or
workout video
to exercise. You can also try getting your kids involved. At a young
age, kids are usually willing to do anything that mom finds
interesting. If you have a step workout video, try setting your child
up with their own step (child -sized of course) so they can do it with
you.
Lose Weight Cutting The Grass
Mowing your lawn with a non-riding mower
can help you burn quite a few calories. If you normally pay a service
to mow your lawn, try cutting back the frequency that they come to
every other time, and pick up the extra mowing yourself. Raking your
lawn is also a source of a good work out. Not only will you be
exercising, but you'll have a beautiful lawn as a bonus.
Lose Weigh By General Housework
Moderate
everyday housework can also become a part of your official exercise
program. Vacuuming, mopping and many other household chores burn
calories.
