My biggest challenge as a mom-on-the-go is finding the time to squeeze activity into my day between the kids’ naps and clients. I love being active. It’s a large part of who I am, and the family lifestyle I want to share with my boys. Motherhood has forced me to multitask more than ever, and be creative with my workouts; early morning runs with the jogger, brisk afternoon walks, lunges in the park. Everyday revolves around my stroller!
Here are 5 fitness tips that helped me lose the baby weight and keeps me in shape:
- Dress for success. Invest in a new pair of sneakers and a new sports bra. A little extra comfort will make your walk or run more enjoyable.
- Join a mom & baby exercise class. It’s a great opportunity to meet other active moms, spend time with your child, workout, and get motivation from an instructor to push yourself a little harder.
- Workout in the park. A park is an outdoor gym! Stroll over to your neighborhood park and use your stroller to perform body-toning exercises like high knee lifts, squats, and walking lunges.
- Run errands by foot. Ditch the car keys and pull out the stroller to do your local errands.
- Love Yourself. You have the most important job in the world and you are awesome. Believe it and feel it!
