How do you get your workouts done with kids?
This is a question I get asked all the time!
Sometimes I can get it done in the morning before they wake up. Other times they get to play with the special basement toys and Jonah plays in the pack n play that we have set up next to the workout area.
And in times they need my love and attention, I take breaks to play, or include them in my workout. Sometimes I will hold them while doing the exercise if I can do it safely. And they usually have so much fun with that as evidenced by this video (sound on for baby giggles) 😂 this was featuring a Saturday morning workout time with my husband while one child was still sleeping and the other decided to join in on the fun!
If I waited for the perfect time to workout, most of my workouts just wouldn’t happen!
Here are some tips to staying consistent with my workouts:
1. Plan them - I always have them in my calendar and move them as an appointment as needed.
2. Plan the workout in advance so I can hit play and go - this is why I love the Healthy Catholic Moms workout program - new workouts every month to hit play and start!
3. Have my workout clothes ready to go and sometimes I even wear them to bed so it’s one less thing I have to do in the morning.
4. Do 20-30 minute workouts - because this is usually all the time I have to keep the kids entertained for an activity or playtime.
If you’re looking to get strong 💪🏻 right at home, join me with the virtual workout program! (Her husband has a program for dads too - and you don’t have to be Catholic for either program fyi) but they are both personal trainers making strength training feasible with 20-30 min workouts you can do to right at home amidst busy life!
