Finding Time to Work Out as a Mom

Motherhood is demanding—there’s no PTO, no sick days, and definitely no HR department to file complaints about your tiny, yet relentless “co-worker.” So, let’s be real—working out probably falls near the bottom of your to-do list.

But here’s the thing: movement isn’t a luxury. It’s self-care. It’s what helps you chase your kids at the park, carry them when they refuse to walk, and simply feel good—physically and mentally.

Forget the all-or-nothing mindset. A walk, a dance party, or even 20 squats while brushing your teeth—it all adds up. And if you’re struggling to find time, get creative. Early mornings, short bursts of movement, or including your kids can make all the difference.

At the end of the day, it’s not about “bouncing back.” It’s about showing up—for yourself and for them. Start today. Five minutes. That’s all. You’ve got this.
