As a busy mom, I totally understand how tough it can be to find time for yourself with the constant demands of motherhood. My fitness goal is simply to stay active, maintain mobility, and keep up with my energetic toddler! I've had to become more creative in finding ways to exercise that also involve or accommodate my little one.
One obstacle I face is definitely lack of time and energy - after a long day, cooking, cleaning, and managing melt downs, I often feel too exhausted to move. But here's what has been working for me: incorporating physical activity that feels more like play than exercise. For example, I'll take my daughter to the park and instead of just watching her from the sidelines, I'll join in and go down the slide with her or do some races alongside her. Just keepin' up with her burns calories and makes me feel better about not having gone for an actual run that day. Win-win situation!
Another favorite 'exercise' of mine (although it feels more like fun) is dancing! I put on some catchy music and have a little dance session with my daughter. She loves it, and it's a great way to keep moving, stay flexible, and have some fun. The living room turns into our very own disco!
