Working out and motherhood sometimes just don’t go hand in hand. You’ve probably found yourself wondering how you’re going to make it to the gym, pay a babysitter and make sure your baby is in good hands. As new moms or even veteran moms we’re still trying to adjust to this life altering change and just figure out our baby. But then you take a look in the mirror or try to squeeze into those pre-pregnancy jeans you love and suddenly you realize you need to do something…anything!
Before having the baby I joined a barre studio and absolutely loved it but the biggest problem I had was the 30 minute drive to get there, an hour workout and a 30 minute drive home. All of this after I worked 8 long hours. By the time I got home I was rushing to feed our three year old and start prepping for the next day. Whew, it was physically taxing! While I loved going to the studio and even more I was loving the body I was getting, I knew there was no way I could do it once the baby came. My days currently consist of struggling to find five minutes to jump in the shower with a cluster feeding newborn and a toddler that has boycotted naps. Apparently big sisters no longer require naps according to a very independent three year old!
Recently I had the opportunity to try out CrunchLive.com and I fell in love! Crunch Live is an online extension of Crunch gyms located across the country. They encourage people of all shapes and sizes to take charge of their fitness goals and participate in their fitness routines. Don’t get me wrong, I was a little skeptical at first because I have tried my fair share of workout videos and never really stuck to any of them. This was when I actually had the time and didn’t have a toddler grabbing at my leg asking for fruit snacks or needing to use the bathroom. But there was something different about these videos and the wide range of workouts they offered. I didn’t feel stuck in one routine. As I scrolled through the library of 70+ videos varying from 15 – 60 minutes I was beyond impressed with how many of them I couldn’t wait to try. From total body bootcamp and dance cardio to pilates, yoga and more. What I was even more excited was that I didn’t have to leave my home to attend a barre class. I could do it in the comfort of my own home with a toddler pulling at my leg and a baby sleeping in the swing inches away. It’s the perfect mom solution to getting your body back or maintaining what you have!
