I have to say, I feel pretty *amazing* after the sessions (though really sore, for sure). I started with the Core Connection Challenge, which made the most sense for me after having two c-sections. I’ve been eager to tighten up my core and feel my own strength again.
The challenge will be sticking with it. How does a busy mama prioritize working out? Madeline Glasser of Food, Family & Fitness recommends scheduling a fitness appointment on your calendar, blacking it out, and making it non-negotiable. And Angela Bekkala of Happy Fit Mama recommends the “rise and sweat” method – getting up and working out before the kids wake up to avoid any conflicting activities that come up later in the day.
However we work it in, self care is so necessary for mamas who have so many demands on our time.
Have you found a work-out and/or meditation routine that works for you? What’s your strategy for making it happen regularly? Do share!
I have found it easier (before and after kids) to do my workout right after work, otherwise I lose all motivation by the time I get home, greet everyone, have a snack, etc. When I get home after exercising, the night is free for dinner, play time, TV and whatever else comes up. I so wish I was someone who could workout at home but it’s never stuck for me!
Might give this a go, even though I’m normally not a meditator!
