Fit By Sara: 4 Clever Ways to Get In Your Workout

Clients often ask, “How do you fit in a workout?” My answer- fit it in whenever and wherever you can. I recommend working out in the morning because by the time nighttime rolls around you’re likely to be too tired. Here are four clever ways to get your workout in plus spend quality time with your kids.

1. Jam Outside. Bring your battery operated boom box outside and do intervals of kickboxing, lunges, squats, and light weight reps while your kids ride bikes, draw with chalk, or play w/ sand. (I did this one today and they loved the music and were thoroughly entertained by watching me!)

2. Stroll. Push them in a stroller while lunging up hills, followed by intervals of brisk walking and or jogging.

3. Work it inside. Pop in a workout dvd while they play. I found that my kids soon lost interest in what they’re doing and joined me. Their personal favorite workout dvd’s are my postnatal dvd’s. You can check them out here: fitbysara.com/single-products.php

4. Chase. My boys love it when I pretend I’m a monster and chase after them. The best part is my 30 min. workout goes so fast because I’m enjoying the giggles!
