Exercise DVDs sound naff but the 30 Day Shred really is excellent.

Out n about nipper buggy for 3 year old (takes children up to average weight of 8 year old!) - can get them secondhand on ebay for a reasonable amount. We love ours.

Then older one on a bike... and jog :)

Mine are younger but I jog with the buggy, makes it a good arm and core workout as well! So I have 15mo in buggy and 3 yo on buggy board and I run. They shout "weeeeeee, go mummy" and love it!! With your ages I'd put 3yo in buggy and run with that and get older one ride a bike or scooter.

I used to take mine to a smallish field, with a blanket, some toys and some snacks and the whippet (the terrier jogged with me). They'd sit in the middle and have a picnic, I'd jog around the perimeter, so I don't see why your garden wouldn't work, if it's big enough.

Hire or buy a running machine?

I used to run up and down our (steep) driveway whilst the kids played.

The most glam mum at school used to run with her children in a jogging buggy. She looks amazing - and is v nice.

Buggy for 3 year old and bike for 6 year old, trampoline, skipping, fitness DVD, hula hooping.

I'd also suggest 30 day shred, or the Seven minute workout app.
