Workout habits change when you become a mom. Between food prep, playtime and diaper duty, your schedule is suddenly loaded with parental responsibilities that make finding time for yourself feel impossible. The good news is this: Moms around the world have found ways to fit exercise into their busy lives. And guess what โ€“ by working on your health and fitness, you will be in a better mood for your family.

Here are some tried and true workout tips for busy moms:ย 

  • Exercise in the morning before the kids are up
  • Exercise with other moms for a sense of community
  • Involve your kids in your exercise by asking them to count your reps or join in for jumping jacks. If theyโ€™re small enough, use them as weights!
  • Help your kids understand that your workout time is your special time
  • Keep a gym bag ready
  • Remember that workouts donโ€™t have to be high intensity to be beneficial. Go easy on yourself with some gentle yoga when you need to
