I’ve been getting great responses from my fitness posts, so I’m going to try to do at least 2 a month, unless they become even more popular.

I’ve got THREE different 10-15 minute NO EXCUSE workouts for the busy person that we have all become! As always, for my mama’s – use your babies for extra weight if you want to push yourself harder! Below I’m going to list out a couple different routines you can try out and see what works best for you, or you can switch it up weekly. Set a goal, write it down, post it on the frig or bathroom mirror. Make your partner or friend check in on you twice a week to make sure you’re not slacking. It takes 21 days to create any type of habit, that’s a short three weeks of your life to get in a healthier lifestyle that will become the normal.
I get told so often “I can’t believe you have a baby and look like that.” “How do you have the time to workout?” or “You got lucky…” Not sure how lucky I got considering less than a week after I had Harlie I was using 5-10lb weights to do upper body exercises and walking with her in the stroller around 2 weeks after. I knew in my head that if I wanted to get my pre-baby body back I HAD to put in the work. I did have a C-Section, so I planned on doing more at-home workouts within a week to 10 days post birth, but due to the surgery I was limited on working out. I started back watching what I was eating (within reason due to breastfeeding), and set goals with rewards. I told myself once I got back into my pre-baby size pants that I would reward myself with a shopping spree. It felt so good to be able to go and feel like myself again shopping for non-maternity clothing. So enough with the rambling, on to the workouts!
