39 | 5 Fitness Tips for New Parents (Or Anyone Short on Time)
We are often asked questions about navigating fitness, health, and overall wellness as a new parent who is sleep deprived and short on time. Today we’re talking through five tips we rely on as new(ish) parents. These tips are applicable for anyone short on time!
3:00 Kate and Michael talk through the difference in their workouts before and after children and how much has changed around time, capacity, and the guilt that can accompany taking time for oneself.
8:15 Tip #1: Cut the waste from your workouts. When we are time poor, we can structure our workouts differently to maximize our limited time by streamlining the important things.
11:20 Tip #2: Make movement part of your routine rather than a luxury. Adjusting our expectations around movement can help us feel more confident in the new approach we’re taking giving limited capacity. Something is always better than nothing.
13:18 Tip #3: Opt for circuit-style workouts. 15 minutes a day of moderate intensity workout is enough to positively impact our health, so every little bit counts.
15:30 Tip #4: Don’t rely on motivation alone. Motivation is probably low when we’re exhausted and overwhelmed. Instead, creating a habit of movement helps us build momentum to keep that habit going even on the most challenging days.
18:44 Tip #5: In the grand scheme of things, your training not that important. This doesn’t mean movement isn’t important; it is something very influential on our overall health. But structured training or the “ideal” workout may not be feasible or important in this season of life. We have permission to reprioritize our goals when needed.
