New mothers have only one thought – the care of their newborn. However, every mother should also think about her health, because a healthy mother also means a healthy and happy child. Therefore, tiredness and lack of time should not be an excuse for not exercising.
BesserMe has found out how you can exercise when you are tired or how you don’t neglect your sporting activities even when you don’t have much time.
The perception of the training
When sports are mentioned, you probably immediately think of a gym, the expensive equipment and how you are limited by many appointments. But exercising is not just that. Exercising is also climbing stairs, walking around town and playing with children or pets. Everyday activities provide you with many opportunities to get plenty of exercise. It’s up to you to use them wisely. Mothers have all these opportunities – so seize the chance!
Train with your kids
Think of exercising with your children as an advantage, not a disadvantage. Your children will certainly have fun doing sit-ups or squats with you. Jumping rope will be fun for your kids because who doesn’t like to play a fun game? You can hold your toddlers in your arms while you do sit-ups and give them a kiss or smile each time you lift them. Your baby will love spending even more time with you while you do useful exercises for yourself.
Shorter training sessions
You don’t have to do a strict 60-minute workout three times a week, but you can do shorter workouts. If you train for 15 to 20 minutes every day, you will quickly develop a routine and results will soon be visible.
Go outside
The pounds you gain during pregnancy can multiply quickly if you don’t exercise enough and lead a sedentary lifestyle. Instead of sitting in front of the TV or computer, you can take your child for a walk. It doesn’t matter if it’s with your family, friends or alone. The important thing is that you move as much as possible.
Slowly but surely, if you follow our advice, sporting activities will soon ‘get under your skin’ and regular training sessions will become a part of your life.
