Trust me. I get it.

You’re busy. You really want to start a workout regimen, meal prep, and all that jazz but you can’t help but get interrupted by your own thoughts: How in the heck do I make time??!?

 

I am not here to tell you that making time to workout when you’re a mom is easy. Whether you work, stay at home, or a little in between (like me), it can be very tricky making time for your most important vessel: your body.

But can we as moms start to think about making time to workout a new way? Instead of feeling guilty about making time for ourselves to workout, let’s shift our thinking: let’s acknowledge that taking care of our bodies, minds, and spirits is the best thing we can do for not only ourselves, but our kiddos.ย 

How awesome is it for your children to see mom taking care of herself, respecting her body enough to move it and feed it nourishing foods? The example you set is the example you live! ๐Ÿ™‚

I cannot neglect the fact that I am a much more amazing mommy when I feel energized, strong, and like my best me. ย Even at almost 35 weeks pregnant, I try my darndest to stay active even though my mind always seems to beckon for me to stay on the couch. 34 2 weeks

And after talking to trusted family, friends, and subscribers, I realized this is a topic that needs attention!

Check out my top tips below on how I made time to workout when I was going to school full time, blogging, doing TV, helping my hubby at our restaurant and BEING A MOMMY! Trust me, if I did it, you so can too!

Tips to Make Time for Fitness Even if You’re a Busy Mommy!

1) Schedule it.

Treat your workouts like a business appointment. Non-negotiable time you prioritize to keep your body feeling healthy, energized, and looking its best.

2) Be Real With Yourself.

Don’t promise yourself you’ll jog in the evening if you can’t make time for that along with helping the kids with homework and cooking dinner. Perhaps you need to be realistic and set the alarm to wake up at 5:30 AM for your morning run. Set the goal that works for your unique schedule, and commit.

3) Workout While they Sleep

While my son was in his first year, I did my Insanity Fitness workouts while he napped in mid daytime. #nobabysitterneeded. I did homework in the morning before he woke up, and meal prepping at night when he was winding down. Basically, he was the boss of my schedule, and I worked around him! ๐Ÿ™‚

4) Involve Your Kiddos

This one is my favorite. By the time Eliel was crawling (and could hold his neck up on his own!), I started incorporating him into my workouts. We’d go for jogs together, do squats–you name it! I honestly had a blast working out with my boy. I have several workout videos on my youtube that show workouts you can do with your baby and toddler–check them out and subscribe! (More to come after I have my daughter!) ๐Ÿ˜‰

ย 5) Join a Gym with Childcare

When I got really serious about weight training and having my uninterrupted mommy time, I joined a gym that offered childcare. Some gyms start watching children when they are only 3 weeks old! I joined Defined when Eliel was 10 months. Chances are your kiddo(s) will have fun in there with other children while mom gets her sweat on–win/win situation!

So there you have it! 5 tips to help you make time to workout as a busy mama. Part 2 will be out soon!

Thanks for liking, subscribing, and sharing! You rock!

Leave me a comment below and tell me–is there anything off this list you’re willing to give a try this week? I’d love to know!
