The At Home Moms Workout:
Monday:
20 Minute Cardio Day 1. Take a brisk 20-minute walk. I am actually jogging for 20 minutes now, but it took me about 3 months of walking to get to that level. For the first 3 months I walked, slower paced at first then faster each consecutive week until I felt I was ready to jog.
Tuesday:
24 Minute Step Workout Cardio Day 1. We all know that getting to an aerobics class is not only an ambitious task when you have kids, but, it's very easy to talk yourself out of going. The convenience of having your own aerobic step at home is no less than awesome! No excuses now! After you put your kids down for a nap, remove Rugrats from the video recorder and put in your Step Workout video.
You will need steps.
I use Bollinger The Step ORIGINAL. This is the same step used in many health clubs. It comes with three height levels and an excellent workout video.
Wednesday:
30 minute abs and upper body Toning. I found a small, inexpensive workout device, Torso Track II that not only works out my midsection, but offers a great upper body workout too.
Thursday:
This is an off day. Right on!
Friday:
24 Minute Step Workout Cardio Day 3 (Same as Tuesday)
Saturday:
30 Minute Upper Body Muscle Toning or Building. (Same as Wednesday). Get Dad to distract the kids while you sneak in another workout before the day begins.
Sunday:
This is a day off. Enjoy some rest and get ready for the upcoming week!
