Motherhood is full of beauty and adventure, but it also comes with challenges. Finding time to stay fit is something many moms struggle with. A lot of moms can feel like balancing motherhood and fitness is unachievable, but with the right tools and support it can be easier than you think.

Find a Time That Works for You

Before motherhood, mornings may have been your favorite time to exercise. Getting children up in the morning, dressed, fed and off to school can take a big chunk out of your morning. If you are a stay-at-home mom or work from home, try a midday workout when you have more time to yourself. If you are a working mom, fit your workout into your lunch break. If evenings are a little more relaxed, consider a nighttime workout regimen. Balancing motherhood and fitness will only work if you make the time to fit it into your schedule.

Mix it up

It can be easy to get caught in the circuit training rut as you reach a plateau. Think beyond the treadmill and try taking a new class. Aerobics classes like Zumba, kickboxing and yoga are great workouts, plus the group setting creates a sense of comradery. If organized fitness isn’t your thing, focus on incorporating an active lifestyle. Taking the kids for walks in the park, family bike rides, or morning stretches with the littles ones are all things you can do with your family as a fun activity. 

Stick to it

Balancing motherhood and fitness takes time and dedication. Staying committed to your fitness routine and surrounding yourself with other like-minded moms is a great way to help yourself stick to it. It’s ok to take some time for yourself and make your health a priority. If you are dedicated to taking care of your body, it will take care of you.
