If you’re a mom with little ones, you barely have time to breathe let alone think about exercise, am I right?! I get it, believe me, I do! But and this is a big but… you have to find a way to make time.
Easier said than done, I know. The biggest challenge is time. How do you squeeze in a little physical activity while changing dirty diapers and fighting with your toddler to nap? Not to mention how mentally and physically drained you are. Just the thought of any physical exertion can make any mom roll up into a fetal position.
Burpees are for people who actually get some shut-eye. And most of us moms do not.
There is often fear associated with exercise too (especially if you have never exercised before) that you might do something wrong. We may even visualize exercise as grueling, sweaty, and definitely not something you can commit to long-term. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Movement is movement. And the more you move, the happier your body will be.
When I had my girls, I realized I needed to be gentler on my body, more kind. I also learned that physical exertion didn’t have to make you feel cripled the next day.
Robin is not by any means paying me to write this, heck, she doesn’t even know me or know I am promoting her. The biggest reason I started her program was to alleviate some of my back pain. And Pilates does help with that. Robin is a mom, too and completely understands motherhood and all the crazy it entails. She is very knowledgeable about Pilates and has a very calm, easy spirit. Her workouts are never brutal, they are gentle on the body but you do have to put in the work.
