5 Fitness Tips for On-the-Go Moms By Cassandra Hawkinson

My biggest challenge as a mom-on-the-go is finding the time to squeeze activity

into my day between the kids’ naps and clients. I love being active. It’s a large

part of who I am, and the family lifestyle I want to share with my boys.

Motherhood has forced me to multitask more than ever, and be creative with my

workouts; early morning runs with the jogger, brisk afternoon walks, lunges in

the park. Everyday revolves around my stroller!

1. Dress for success

2. Join a stroller fitness class

3. Workout in the park

4. Run errands by foot

5. Love yourself

Here are 5 fitness tips that helped me lose the baby weight and stay in shape:

1 Invest in a new pair of sneakers and a

new sports bra. A little extra comfort

will make your walk or run more

enjoyable.

Dress for success

2 It’s a great opportunity to meet other

active moms, spend time with your

child, workout, and get motivation

from an instructor to push yourself a

little harder.

Join a stroller fitness class

3 A park is an outdoor gym! Stroll

over to your neighborhood park

and use your stroller to perform

body-toning exercises like high

knee lifts, squats, and walking

lunges.

Workout in the park

4 Ditch the car keys and pull out the

stroller to do your local errands.

Run errands by foot

5 You have the most important job in the world and you are

awesome. Believe it and feel it!

Love yourself
