"Mommy Time"
Finding time to work out when you have little people is a task in itself. Along with all the other things you try to make time for, exercise seems to (unfortunately) fall under the list of "will do later" . Later is a long time away, and sometimes doesn't show up. Before you know it, your child is 5, and you are still justifying the extra weight as "baby fat". Sadly, I see it often. Mom's rushing in to find time at the gym, and hoping to come in at least twice a week. Not to mention trying to find a gym with child care, and hoping your child doesn't have "issues" with the care giver, or another child. And we won't even talk about the transfer of germs. It's bad enough we adults pick up Mrs. Whoever's virus after her workout, so why throw extra factors into play.
We have to workout, for our health, and as good example to our kids for their future lifestyle. Working out at home can be the best alternative, and you can do it with your kids safely in their own environment. You can use your own body weight to improve your strength, and enhance the workouts and add on tools over time. Resistance chords are awesome tools-inexpensive and versatile.
With the online training, you still get a certified personal trainer guiding you, for much less than at the gym, and no membership fees. No contracts, no hours of operation, no travel time or gas used, and you do it while dinner is on, or the laundry is washing and drying.
Again, it is a great example for the kids. I worked out at home when my kids were babies, and continued into their now teen years. They see that example, and use it for a model of healthy living for themselves. For that, I am happy.
Be happy and healthy...and pass it on to your kids!
