How many of your workouts go exactly as planned? I can’t tell you how many times (especially since being a mama!) I’m all geared up to go and everything grinds to a halt as quickly as if someone tossed a stick through my bicycle wheel. It can get really disheartening!
the best tip
The number one thing I found to help me with that is having a plan A and plan B. I map out my ideal schedule at the beginning of the week so I know what days I’m going to workout and what I’m going to do during those workouts.
It sounds so basic but trust me this is the number one tip to making your workouts happen and being efficient with them. You don’t want to waste any precious time!
For me, a plan B will usually involve adjusting my workout time to another time block preferably during that same day. It also could mean adjusting the type of workout I do.
That’s where a workout like this really shines! It’s a full-body workout anyone can do with a medicine ball or some weights, but it also makes a great plan B work out for a mama: sub baby for weights. I’ve really loved working out with Shiloh! I feel like I’m setting a great example for her and we both have a lot of fun. Plus those precious minutes that she’s napping I can use to get other things done or just relax! 😉
i run through this circuit 3 times for a great full-body 25 minute workout!
With small modifications this is great for beginners too! For a peek at it in action I have it posted on my Instagram page.
- 12 Broad jump (Shiloh waits at the end of a hop for her kiss!)
- 15 Weighted squat and press

- 20 Russian twist (modify: keep feet down)
