Busy Moms Are Awesome!
Busy moms are awesome! They juggle many tasks at the same time and they still make time to love those around them! After all this, busy moms somehow find time to exercise!
Client Q: Do you have any suggestions for fitting in exercise during my busy week?
Mark’s A: Here is a good tactic that I use all the time: exercise at the location where you are currently. Many days, I fit in 15-20 minutes of exercise while waiting for a client training session. Take advantage of “DEAD TIME” during your day and exercise. Twenty minutes of exercise here and 20 minutes of exercise there works just fine.
Heather (all-world busy mom), a good friend of mine, is one of the busiest people I know. She has also made a commitment to fitness. She shared this personal story with me and here is an exerpt from it:
“Over the past three days or so, I’ve gained a better understanding of why women of my age (the specifics of which is an irrelevant detail) lose track of their gym passes and the will to fight the good fight on personal fitness.
I’m nowhere near quitting. I’ve done this for too long and believe that exercise tones a lot more than my body. It smooths out the rough spots in my emotions; it gives me spiritual muscle for Life’s considerable challenges. It gains me “thinking time,” enhancing my sense of perspective. It makes me smile more and wrinkle less.”

That’s so true. My schedule is hectic… and it’s worse it’s going to get in a months time when I’m in college, working full time and back training for competitions (usually have to do a 2hr class 3 evenings a week, and another 2hr class on Sundays)… on top of that I have to do a gym session every morning to get my head ready for the day ahead…..
But if I didnt do the exercise part of my day, I’d be stressed out, depressed, lethargic so it’s worth the tiredness at the end of the day!
Like I said……awesome! Don’t stay too busy for too long…
ain’t that the truth! still working to make that time in my schedule consistent and reliable in the face of extra busy days and colds! pregnancy, too! btw, mark, i’m good here at 34 weeks!
btw, your fitness hut blog and site look good!
I agree! We just gotta fit in a little here and there and it’s well worth the effort. Can be hard to do, but it’s not as hard as most people think.
Thanks for the comments Debbie and Catrina!
I admire all the busy mom’s out there. I know how busy I was. You all rock!
