Now that school has started and fall sports are in full swing, it’s time to get myself back into a rhythm of my own. I used to leave working out to chance of any open window of time and after years of realizing that slot was never there, I started going to a set class early in the morning to hold me accountable. While I still love the idea of going somewhere to workout, the ease of rolling out of bed and working out at home is working best for me right now. Since school started, I’ve been waking up early to press play on a workout and it’s made the world of differences to ensure I’m scheduling the time for myself before anyone else is even awake.
It’s funny, I used to think of my workout time as selfish when I was a new mom but after years under my belt I know it’s essential for my sanity! I’ve been using the Bodi app (formerly Beach Body) and I actually really recommend it for all the different types of workouts to choose from. I also like that they have programs to follow that may be anywhere from 3-12 weeks so everyday I just press play and don’t have to think or plan a single workout. Some days I definitely don’t want to do it, but I have never finished a workout and regretted it, you know?! I also try to sneak in a couple walks throughout the week in addition to strength training. An evenly walk, SOLO, is my jam but hard to come by! A stroller walk with plenty of snacks for Walker is also a favorite.
Can we normalize talking about what workouts we’re enjoying or programs we’re following? Curious minds want to know! 🙂
