How PMA can make it easy to work out from home simply by using your own body weight. Time is not an issue.
Well hello again Seawives I hope you are all well and are having a lovely day so far with whatever you are doing.
I mentioned in my previous article about Kerrie’s PMA Fitness Home workouts so here is some simply advice you can follow to get more energy, help with health, wealth, happiness and along the way make a difference to your body and mind.
How often does your time become an issue and that you haven’t enough hours, never mind minutes in the day to do what needs to be done. I hear this all the time with clients, especially having not only the house and daily chores to contend with but the little ones as well. School runs, sports clubs, and so much more. Your priorities change and you tend to put yourself last on the list. Does that sound about right?
I have no children but a dog to walk, house to run as well as a business and husband to keep happy (he too has to keep me happy of course) ( smiley face ☺ ) but I always make time to work out and more often than not I train from home inbetween my clients and fitness classes.
Time should not be an issue and here is how.
Working out just takes up 4% of your day so that means you have 96% of your day to do everything else. This time should be taken into consideration when we go back to planning.
If you plan you are prepared and if you are prepared you are more likely to follow the plan!
Workouts shouldn’t be made to feel like a drag and a chore and certainly do not have to take hours out of your day. Research has proven that 7 to 15 minutes working out a day can make a big difference to your health and fitness.
SO here are some simple exercises you can do;
Squats
Lunges
Sit Ups
Push ups
Knee Lifts
Star Jumps
Planks
Side Lunge
Interval Hall Runs
Split Lunge
When it comes to any fitness training the more muscles you use the more calories you lose and more fat you burn. The above exercises are just a few simple moves you can do that will take very little time to complete and cover a number of muscles whilst you are doing them.
The beauty of this is that you do not even have to leave the comfort of your own home, you just have to make the time to complete the moves.
The challenge I set you would be to pick just 4 mores and then do each move 12 times and repeat each move 4 times. If you can’t fit in 4 rounds then just do 2! NO EXCUSES remember.
Example below;
Sit ups x 12
Squats x 12
Lunges x 12
Push ups x 12
Repeat all exercises again 4 times. This is what we call metabolic training where more than one muscle is used per exercise, we tackle the same muscles at different angles and the fitness benefits are great.
If you do not work out very well on your own why not invite a few Seawives over for a group activity, create a buddy system. Once you work out with a friend or friends it is easier to commit and motivate each other.
Alternatively look for mother and baby/toddler fitness session and then you can take the little ones with you. No childcare needed. I run a Buggy Bootcamp and I am sure where ever you are there will be a group activity you will be able to attend.
Take a look at my FB page and you can link in to more of PMAs home workouts. Enjoy! & catch up with you soon.
