First, Get Selfish!!! Take your 30 minutes a day, learn how to steal time. In my experience in working with busy moms, timing is everything. Find a time that works for you (2-15 minute bursts a day, 3-4 times a week). For example, first thing in the morning, afternoon during baby’s nap time or evening. Just find the times that work for you. You will soon move to 45 minutes before you know it.
Equipment Optional:
1) Racing stroller
2) Resistance Bands
3) Physio Ball
4) Towel
Stay Tuned, More to Come!!!!
Okay Moms, Let’s Get It Started: Part 2: A Trainer’s P.O.V.

Getting Started:
Whether it’s 15 minutes or 30 minutes, every little bit counts. Find a neighbor, a friend or even a dog
. If there’s no one to keep you company bring your music along or just get lost in your thoughts (which is not a bad thing). Sometimes I find that very soothing when going on long walks. If you don’t have anyone to watch junior, put him or her in the jogging stroller.
Try to pick a route that’s a little challenging (with a few hills for example). You want to feel like you’re working so push a little. You may want to consider a heart rate monitor. This will help you keep track of how hard you’re working and progress being made.
BE PATIENT, BE CONSISTENT AND MOSTLY JUST HAVE FUN!!! Please let me know how you’re doing.
Stay tuned, there’s more in store!!!
