This is good advice but you have to change your expectations. You’re not going to get the same kind of run with a 5 yr old as alone, for example.

This advice is great on paper, but hard to impossible to practise. I see some of my older friends can do it with their kids who are 8-12 years old, but there seems to be a very short period of time between being able to actually do something with them until they have their own interests and hobbies.

Put the 5 year old on your shoulders and make it twice the workout :p

My daughter used to climb on my back when I did push ups for some additional resistance. She used to give me a light slap if I was taking too long between reps.

Good times.

Funny, my son does that to me now! But he's 43 pounds. I can't really do more than a few with him on my back
