After becoming a mum, I ditched the “all or nothing” mindset and embraced gentle, realistic movement 💗 Here’s what movement looks like for me now:
👣 1. Walks with the Pram
Podcasts + fresh air = a mental reset. I aim for 20–30 minutes a 3-4 days a week.
🏋️ 2. Active Play with the Kids
Dancing, squats while babywearing, crawling races — it counts!
🧘 3. Stretches While Cooking or Cleaning
Sounds silly, but reaching, lunging, or pausing for a forward fold makes a difference.
⏱ 4. 5-Minute Micro-Workouts
On the floor with the kids, no pressure. Just movement.
🏋️ 5. Gym Classes/ Home Gym
(When I can, no set routine)
👭 6. Garden Circuits with my Mum Friends
Wait for the kiddies to go to bed and get your friend over for a circuit in the garden!
💗 Remember: Movement should make you feel good, not guilty. You deserve that.
