What I Learned About Exercise

It’s no surprise that exercise plays an important role in a healthy lifestyle. It’s also no surprise that being a momma makes exercise a difficult thing to prioritize. With a super hectic morning, afternoon, and evening it may be near impossible to find the time to squeeze in a workout. Luckily for us, there’s so much hype around exercise lately, the possibilities are endless! Getting regular exercise should be made a priority because of the list of never-ending benefits! Here are some of our favorite benefits of a regular exercise routine.

Happy Happy Happy 

What’s better than having a happy family? Through physical activity, you have improved circulation, confidence, and a higher flow of endorphins. Long story short, exercise is an anti-stress elixir! Not only that but reducing stress allows you to enjoy your downtime more and help you focus. No longer will you forget to pack your children’s lunches, or mix up their names in the midst of a chaotic household!

Make Time for Girl Time

As much as we love them, our kiddos can’t be our only friends. Working out with a group can help you connect with people you might never have talked to otherwise. Whether you bond over your mutual hatred for the workout, you may soon bond over lunches, similar interests, and everything in between. Us mommas are all about killing two birds with one stone, so why not make work out time double as social time?

Walking the Walk

You are your children’s biggest role models. Therefore, modeling a healthy lifestyle for them can jumpstart their own active, athletic lives. It also shows them how crucially important it is to take care of themselves, regardless of the circumstances that they may face. Plus, what’s cooler than having a mom who can do more push-ups than their kid?!

Finding time to be active isn’t as difficult as you may think. The options are endless and there’s something out there for everyone. Whether you feel more comfortable in a gym or a yoga studio, it’s important to make exercise a priority. What are some of your favorite exercise routines? Leave your comments below!
