Booking Exercise Took a Risk
I know, I know... you may be getting tired of the whole 'risk' thing already. But I found this video on juiceboxjungle, and it brought me back to when my twins were babies. Back then I knew I needed to consistently exercise to be a sane mom. So when the hubby or family wasn't available, I took the initial risk of putting my lil' 3 month olds in my gym's babysitting service called 'jr club'. It felt weird to pass off my kids to a stranger, in a room full of other kid strangers, just so I could get on a treadmill. But I'm so glad I tried it. Having that jr club option was my saving grace back then, and still is today.
My kids are almost 4 now (did I just type that? yikes!) and have pre-school which gives me a little more time for fitness, but I definitely still rely on jr club at least 2x a week. And the best part is, they love it!
So to all the mama's out there on the fence about using your gym's babysitting, I say take the risk and try it out. And yeah, it might not work on the first attempt. But give it a few tries and you'll both most likely adjust fine. Or it just may not be right for you after all. But at least you'll know because you tried it out. Just take the initial risk;)

I only wish it were that easy though!! It takes work and planning! But worth it -
