Hot Momma Workout
Fitness has been apart of my life for over a decade now. It has helped transform my body, but more importantly, it keeps me SANE. Fitness is the only thing that has helped my anxiety, depression and it’s given me a strong sense of self.
It has been transformative in every facet of who I am.
I knew I wanted to stay active when I was pregnant and after I had my baby. I also knew my routine would have to change. Two things any parent will tell you they have less of with kids is SLEEP and TIME. I was an avid gym goer before having my son, spending 1 hour or more, 6 days a week working out.
These days are a bit different.
I workout from home 4 days a week for 30-45 minutes and I’m fitter now than I have ever been. I weight less and have more muscle than I did before I had my son. Diet plays a big part, and you can read about the diet I follow here. But working out is critical. Especially incorporating weight training. You can read all about why women should weight train here.
I wanted to share my workout to help moms who want to get fit but aren’t sure where to start. I know it’s hard to find time for ourselves, but this workout is only 3 days a week and should take 20-30 minutes. Set your alarm a little earlier, or plan to workout while the baby is napping, or have baby join in! Taking care of yourself will only help you be a better, happier momma. Plus it’s a great example to set for your little one!
