Making Mommy-hood Easier: Take 10 minutes for Yourself

Taking time to workout is often seen as a LUXURY, not a necessity, and it often one of the first things to get bumped off the list when things start getting too busy with the hectic-ness of endless “Things to do” lists; getting home from work, making dinner,and all the other things that fill our lives. We sometimes forget to make a little time for ourselves!

Here are a couple suggestions that won’t take too much time:

1. Find Short on-line workouts.If you only have 15--20 minutes to sneak a workout in, you can find some great workouts on-line that Tami Tyson from The Tyson Method, has created that get you feeling stronger in those little bits of time that you do have. For $20 a month you can access the 20 min workouts. There are new ones posted every single day.
All you need to do is join the members site as a VIP member to gain access them. You can test one out on the sign up page to see what it is all about. Your chances of continuing working out are so much greater if it's only 20 min a day compared to doing it in excess. Tami and the Tyson Method’s goal is to make working out and staying fit a lifestyle change forever for the women who participate with them in the different programs.

2. Run an errand. Look at your list of things to do and see if it’s possible to either BIKE or RUN any of the errands on that list. You will avoid traffic and looking for parking, plus you might even get a TAN all while getting some exercise in. If you have a child in tow, they might enjoy biking to the local story-time or music class.

3.Take 10. Finally if you just have a couple minutes, drop to the floor at home and pick 10 of your favorite abs. Try doing each abdominal exercise for 1 minute. Before you know it, you’ll have done 10 minutes of ABs and you’ll be ready to move on with your day!
