Top 5 Fitness Tips for Moms
-
Prioritize. Find a gym that is either close to home, close to work or on the way to your child's school or after school activities. The time you save you can spend training.
-
Choose a gym with childcare. There are many gyms now that offer childcare so you can get a quick 45 minutes of exercise while your child can get some exercise and make new friends too!
-
Eat well. A good well balanced diet is equally important to a fit figure. Stay away from processed foods, transfats and excess carbohydrates. Stick to low fat proteins, good fats and complex carbohydrates (in moderation). Best way: plan your meals, pack yuouk your meals and avoid those "happy meals".
- Get good sleep. Good sleep keeps cortisol levels down, helps recharge you. Additionally studies show that failure to get restorative sleep results in higher levels of body fat.
- Walk with your child. Walking is a great way to burn fat and also spend some quality time with your children. The best way to gain fitness from walking is to maintain a brisk pace and include some hills for extra cardiovascular conditioning. Swing your arms as you walk, and try to walk for at least 30 minutes, three or more days a week. To make the walk a little harder you can wear a backpack filled with water bottles and other supplies. The extra weight will help provide a more challenging workout for you while allowing the walk pace to be slower for your child 9or less fit friends that may accompany you)! To keep the walk interesting for your child, take along a brown paper sack or a tote bag to hold the treasures you find. Collect pine cones, leaves, rocks, twigs, acorns, pine needles, tree bark, spring flowers or anything else that looks interesting. To make the walk more fun, make it educational and turn it into a counting activity.
