HOW DO YOU MANAGE exercising with a busy life?

I fit my exercise in by running while my kids are at school. I have a three special-needs boys and I can’t leave them at home alone. While they’re at school is the best time to go. Sometimes I have friends to watch them or my mom, but I don’t like to put on them all the time. How do you feel your exercise when you’re busy? #letschat #lemon8contest #exercising #busymom #boymom

... Read moreManaging a busy life while staying active can be a challenge, especially for parents. One effective strategy is to incorporate exercise into your daily routine, such as scheduling workouts during your child's school hours. This not only ensures you workout but also provides a productive break. Additionally, consider engaging in family-friendly activities on weekends that keep everyone active. Finding a supportive community or workout partner can also enhance motivation. Online resources are available that offer time-efficient workout plans for busy individuals. Explore options like high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that require less time but provide substantial benefits. Remember, staying active is about consistency - aim for short sessions throughout the week rather than long workouts. Lastly, prioritize self-care; managing your health ultimately helps you support your family better. For busy moms, it's essential to set realistic fitness goals. Small, achievable targets can lead to significant accomplishments over time. Using technology, like fitness apps or wearable devices, can help track your progress and keep you accountable. Joining online forums or social media groups for moms can also provide encouragement and tips, creating a supportive environment to share experiences. Embrace your journey of maintaining fitness amidst a busy lifestyle, understanding that even small efforts contribute to a healthier you.

Right now I’m working part time and don’t go in until 2pm so I go early in the morning. When I was working full time 7:30-3:30 I went after work.

I think just trying to put in the effort is the way to do it. It’ll be hard on days you’re not motivated but you need to be disciplined!
