The best advice I received when I was expecting my first child was to get a health club membership. Not necessarily to loose the weight….but for the childcare. Score! Yes, sign me up.
I decided to join Life Time Fitness. For 2 hours a day I can bring my kids to the Kids Academy at Life Time and I can do whatever I want (as long as I stay on the premises). This is what I call my 120 minute vacation.
It’s a win/win because my kids have a blast at the Kids Academy attending yoga, karate, art, music, rock climbing and gymnastics. They can try all of these different classes and I don’t have to haul them around town paying an arm and a leg for various kids activities. It’s just part of my membership.
And while they attend these activities I can workout… or get a massage in the LifeSpa or just sit in the cafe and eat lunch in peace by myself.
Don’t mind me, today I am just hanging out at the pool, drinking a smoothie and reading a book…kid-free.
This is my kind of wellness.
