Youtube Videos for Workouts
We have a wealth of information at our fingertips, and things like YouTube have been a revelation. Exercise videos from workouts to yoga routines are regularly uploaded. This means a mom who is time-poor should be able to fit 10 minutes into her day somewhere.
Create the space
All you need is a bit of space so a lounge area or outside patio will be the perfect place to take some exercise.
Utilize the early morning or evening.
Take every opportunity. If it means running at 6 am when everyone is asleep go for it. If it means running in the evening when your partner gets home take that chance. It’s hard to get into a habit at first, but once you are in a routine, you won’t look back.
Making simple changes each day is a great way to start your home guide to better fitness as a Busy Mom!
