Fabulous Fitness Secrets for Busy Moms:

3 Ways to Exercise and Save Time

by Pat Brill

The great thing about Moms is that we are magnificent at multi-tasking. Here are some great ways to stay fit while spending time with the kids. In this article we will provide plans that will ensure great exercise for Mom, great activity for the kids, and a wonderful opportunity for bonding.

One of the biggest challenges for Busy Moms is figuring out how to fit exercise into their daily regime. Children, Chores, and Commitments are the 3 C’s that are often hurdles on the way to health & fitness. Creativity, Compromise, and Control are the 3 C’s you need to get you back on track to feeling vibrant and fit.

There are going to be days when you just can’t seem to find time to get out of the house and go to the gym. These are the days in which your Creativity needs to kick in full force. What do kids like? Kids enjoy activities where they usually burn their energy and yours. What more can you ask for? You have your own personal trainers at home! So, the next time your children feel restless, open the back door and participate in an exhilarating game of freeze tag to get your cardio in for the day. This will be fun, fast, and you are sure to work up a sweat and burn a few calories.

You may enjoy jogging daily, but bringing it up to kids is sure to be met with moans and groans. Here’s a great way to Compromise. Tell your young children to load their bicycles and scooters into the back of the truck and take the whole crew up to the nearest track or trail. Your kids will have the chance to do something they enjoy, and you will get to exercise and still spend time with the family. Another trick that’s sure to win in your favor is to tell your adolescents that instead of doing their chores, they are welcome to join you for a game of tennis. Toddlers and babies usually love outdoor activities, so compromise with them by taking them for a ride in their stroller. Just make sure in any outdoor situation to pack on the sunscreen.

Swimming is a great way to get in a great low-impact workout while also spending some quality time with your kids. Swimming is an invigorating activity that will give you that extra burst of energy to start your day off right.Your local YMCA or health club has swimming classes available for adults and children.Still unsure? Think about it this way – when have you ever had to convince your kids to go to the pool? They’ll have a blast, and all of you will burn some serious calories. What’s better than that?

Remember, although it may often appear otherwise, you are in Control of your daily schedule. Fitting in your workouts to coincide with what you do normally is the best way to ensure a healthy, active life!
