How I get exercise as a mom

I used to be in the gym five days a week before getting pregnant. Once my kid came along, finding time for exercise became a lot harder. Since going to the gym was no longer an option, I had to find new ways to get my exercise in from home. Here are a few ways I incorporate physical activity into my days as a mom:

1. Walk inside on my walking pad

My husband and I decided to buy a walking pad for inside our house about a month ago, and I absolutely love it!! We love going on outside walks, but we also live in the south and this heat has been brutal. It’s nice to be inside, in the air conditioning while getting that cardio in.

2. Go on walks outside with the baby

So we do love going on outside walks with the stroller. We used to do it every night. Unfortunately it has been so hot here recently that we haven’t gotten to do that much the last month or so. But once it starts cooling down a bit, we will be back to doing evening walks!

3. Do a yoga or pilates routine at home

I have a yoga mat and I’ll just plop it down in my living room and do a little exercise routine that I find on YouTube. There’s soooo many videos on youtube to choose from, I love it! I’ve found really short ones too that are like 10 minutes long, so I can do a little one while baby naps or while he’s hanging with dad at night.
