Once a woman becomes a mom, society expects her to successfully juggle countless responsibilities and still manage to be fit and look good. Although we are very much against socially imposed unrealistic standards, being a healthy and fit mom definitely a bonus to aim for! But how do you achieve that with all of the aforementioned responsibilities? First of all, cut yourself some slack and remember that being a fit mom isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. And if you’re ready for some tips that may be helpful on your journey, our team of personal trainers is gladly sharing them! Here are some expert tips from our team to help you thrive as a fit mom: 1. Remember That Self-Care Is Essential: Taking care of yourself is not selfish—it’s a key for staying healthy and sane. Make workouts and activities that recharge your mind and body. 2. Embrace Flexibility: While it’s ideal to schedule workouts in your weekly routine, sometimes things just don’t work out as planned. Find workout routines that can be adapted to your daily schedule and incorporate activities you enjoy. This increases the likelihood that you’ll actually engage in them. 3. Get Active with Your Kids: Turn exercise into a fun family activity. It could be a hike, a bike ride, or a dance party in the living room. Staying active together sets a positive example for your children and helps you meet your cardio goals. 4. Save Time with Meal Prep: To fuel your body with nutritious healthy foods with minimum time spent in the kitchen, turn to meal prep and planning. Set aside dedicated time each week for meal planning and batch cook staple ingredients like rice, quinoa, chicken, etc., for easy assembly during the week. For healthy grab-and-go snacks, store pre-cut fruits and veggies in the fridge. 5. Aim to Get Sufficient Rest: Quality sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being. It’s quite a challenge for new moms, so you have to be creative and flexible to get your 8-hour sleep. Do not neglect restful sleep to support your fitness goals and maintain optimal energy levels. Remember, every small step you take towards prioritizing your health makes a big difference in the long run. Stay motivated, stay active, and keep shining, supermom!
