See I would, but it gets a little hard with a toddler strapped to my back. There is an option to get one of those fancy jogger's carts for a kiddo, but it is so overpriced and I would feel like a horse after a while. I can't see my tot sitting still in it, either.

Some gyms do have a garderie, but not everyone's comfortable dropping off a curious and intense toddler to a complete stranger.

I like gym since to get out is a treat, and seeing others sweat is a great motivation. On the other hand, all these posts made me excited about Wii, a friend has it and never really used it so I thought it's just a fad. I would like to avoid some harrassing douchebags in gym, too, so I am really starting to think about it..Plus, I forgot my hoolahoop back home

I so agree with the post of a kid getting the eye-hand coordination exercised, we accidentally showed Nintendo to our child and I could not believe how quickly her fine motoric skills improved. All of a sudden she can draw faces, cut with knife when eating, cut with scissors..So there definitely are benefits of this kind of stimulation, eventhough she only plays with it little bit.
