In the spirit Mother’s Day or rather month, we’re finding ways for these Very Important People to have a good workout on-the-go in everyday scenarios.
These creative workouts may involve using your children as weights or at least as motivation for that last rep. But I’m sure they’ll be game for it, and enjoy it as much as you would.
We love Ashley Horner’s idea of using her little one as added weight in the floor presses. You might wanna try it too. Ashley is a ReebokONE Trainer and mother of three herself, so no excuses there.
Ashley’s 4s:
- 20 air squats
- 10 floor presses
- 10 lunges on each side, alternating legs
- rest 60 seconds between rounds
We all owe our lives and character to our mother’s and what better way than to salute them in a plank workout in Kathleen Tullie’s variation. You’ll also be building a stronger core, which makes you a fitter person.
Kathleen Tullie is the founder of BOKS & one of Family Circle’s “20 Most Influential Moms of 2016”.
Kathleen’s 5s:
- 20 air squats
- 10 push-ups
- 10 plank salutes
April Storey, founder of the Wine Workout & toddler mom finds the usual ‘push your kid in the stroller’ workout too mainstream and has designed her own twist.
April’s always-busy-story Workout
- Half mile run
- 10 lunges on each side, alternating legs
- 20 walking lateral squats
- 30 seconds of push-ups with alternating front reach
- 30 second plank with knee-tucks
- 20 jumping jack squats with toe taps
- 10 reverse lunges on each side, alternating legs
- Repeat starting with the run
