Being a mom and finding the time to keep fit can drive a person bonkers!!!!
But it doesn’t have to be that way, and one of our favorite blog sites explains how!
“Finding time away from the kids to exercise can sometimes feel more daunting than the actual workout. With that crazy, superhuman schedule of yours, your fitness routine doesn’t have to fall to the wayside. Check out our suggestions for squeezing in a workout and burning a few extra calories without hitting the gym. There’s no reason your workout (aka “me time”) has to be cut from your “to-do” list again.
At sports practices: School is starting back up and so do afterschool sports. While your little players are breaking a sweat, you can too. Instead of hovering in the stands or running errands, take that hour to yourself. Go for a run around the field’s perimeter or take a walk through the neighborhood. Let’s get real: an hour isn’t enough time to accomplish many errands, but it is enough time to get up and get going!
Between errands: The next time you’re on carpool duty or running to the store (no pun intended), take note of local gyms, studios, and parks on your usual path. Choosing a convenient option that easily fits into your routine will make your workout feel seamless. A quick run or workout in the park won’t waste any extra travel time.”
