8 Fun Fitness Activities for Busy Working Moms

Jogging is always a good idea…

You probably already know that jogging is one of the most popular forms of aerobic exercise and that ladies have been practicing it for decades, but do you know what its health benefits are? Well, it can reduce your risk of developing various heart diseases as it can lower the LDL or ‘bad cholesterol’ in your blood. Besides that, it can successfully combat stress and help you lose weight at the same time, so be sure to go for a jog right after you wake up, and you’ll feel a lot better!

… As well as hiking in the nearby woods

Hiking in the nearby woods is also an extremely beneficial activity that can help you relax and unwind after a long week at work, and the best thing about it is the fact that you can enjoy it with your whole family. This is a fantastic way to explore your environment and learn something new about its flora and fauna while having fun with your kids. Just don’t forget to bring a big bottle of water and healthy homemade snacks to munch on while taking a break and you’ll be more than fine.

When you don’t have much free time, go for a bike ride

Going for a bike ride is never a bad idea, especially when you don’t have enough time to work out in the gym or opt for a long hike. In case you didn’t know, cycling is one of the best low-impact exercises out there, as it won’t put too much stress on your knees and joints – which is particularly essential when you have a couple of extra pounds you want to lose as soon as possible. Just hop on your bike and let go of all your worries while burning fat and building muscle along the way.

Work out with a personal trainer…

If you ask us, hiring a personal fitness trainer is surely one of the best things if you have a specific fitness goal to achieve. It has a lot of fantastic benefits, simply because highly skilled trainers always ensure that you receive their undivided attention during the workout session. Besides that, those sessions are always tailored according to your own needs, wishes, and goals, which is an amazing way to change your life for the better. These people can help you no matter your current health condition and fitness level, so you definitely won’t make a mistake if you pick this activity.

… Or opt for a mums & bubs workout

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a physical activity that involves your little one as well, mums and bubs fitness will be your cup of tea. Finding the time to build up a sweat is crucial, especially when you live an extremely busy life, but trust us – you certainly won’t go wrong with this one. Apart from lifting your mood and raising your energy levels, it will also assist in weight loss, which counts for a lot. By being active with you, you’ll be a positive role model for your child, too, and there’s nothing better than that, right?

Circuit training? Why not!

We’re almost 100% sure that you’ve already heard about circuit training and that you think that it’s way too intense for your current fitness level. Are we right? Well, it doesn’t necessarily have to be the case, but the truth is that these will challenge your body and help you get maximum results in minimum time, which is more than welcome if you want your pre-baby body back as soon as possible. Besides that, these will also give you the benefits of both cardio and strength training, so make sure to give it a try, and you won’t regret it!

Go for a swim and instantly feel much better

Similarly to cycling, swimming is also a low-impact exercise that doesn’t put any additional stress to your knees and joints, which is why it’s highly recommended when you need to lose some weight in the first place. It can be compared to circuit training, too, since it counts as both cardio and strength training – if you aren’t moving constantly, you’re sinking. On the other hand, water is about 800 times denser than air, so your muscles are under constant resistance, which inevitably gives amazing results in no time.

HIIT as the ultimate body workout

Last but not least, there is HIIT (high-intensity interval training), which is a revolutionary method that burns calories in fat in a really short period of time –which is exactly what busy working moms need. Such a workout will also build your endurance and boost your metabolism more than you can possibly imagine, and guess what? You will lose just fat and not muscle, so go for it if you’re up for fabulous results!

As you can see, each of these eight fitness activities is more than beneficial for your health, both physical and emotional, so pick any of them and enjoy your transformation!
