Hey you,
Remember how I mentioned I workout sometimes with weird 'props'?! Well....yup! Check out these 4 exercises you can do with a toy truck. This workout is low impact (read: quiet) and can be done while little ones are NAPPING. Woo hoo!
Try this: 3 sets of 12 reps for each exercise you see me do here (there are 4 in total). You'll be done in a few minutes, but man oh man, you'll be feeling GOOD! That's 'cause you're Fit As A Mother.
*high five*
In good health,
Tara
Hey guys,
I've been known to work out in some weird places with some weird things! I'm a mama. By definition, I'm good at coming up with weirdness at the drop of a hat. You too, right?!
So I've been thinking about bringing forth this new idea for a series that you can find here or on facebook, instagram, and youtube by searching for #FitAsAMother. It'll be me squeezing in my workouts in a realistic setting with realistic 'props' and possibly some laughs. Sound cool? Please drop a comment below or shoot me a quick note to let me know if you love this idea or....not so thrilled with it. I want to make sure it's something that YOU will enjoy.
Thank you! Without further ado, on Mothers' Day...Fit As A Mother. The Series, part 1:
In good health,
Tara
P.S. Happy Mothers' Day to all the beautiful mamas out there!
Have you ever seen a woman in jeans and a sweater doing an arm workout with a 20-ish pound baby as her weight? Can't say "no" to that anymore! ;-)
When you work primarily from home with a toddler and baby in-tow, you learn to be ok with getting ready either in 30 seconds or spreading it out over the course of the whole day - dressed now, makeup later, hair…eh.
So what does this mean? WelI for one, I got out last night. Woo hoo! But, it also meant I was clad in my best sweater-over-tank-top-for-easy-breastfeeding and ripped jeans before we got to shoot this demo video. And yes, it's totally "we", because let's face it…Magnolia and Jagger steal the show. ;-)
This bicep curl-shoulder press is a great way to work your upper body in one exercise. The babies enjoy it too!
*Note: Please look out for low ceilings! Grab those babies tight and only do this move if your little kiddo has complete head and neck control. Alternatively, use a gallon of milk, a water bottle, or a dumbbell to add resistance.
Do 3 sets of 10 and feel the burn! Your muscles will thank you.
