Since I had Z-man, I have not had a normal work out routine. I've made grand plans to do all kinds of exercising, from running (I HATE IT) or Zumba (my fave, but not so kid friendly) to yoga (still working on this) or Wii Fit (by the time I get the Wii up and running, I'm over it). When I work out, I am more balanced, healthier, and less stressed. All good things. The problem is, once I get Z-man in bed, I'm tired. AND I still have a long to-do list! Being motivated to work out has been a challenge.
About two months ago, I was glancing through a magazine in a orthodontist waiting room with the kids I nanny when I came across a blip about the best apps of 2013. One caught my eye. An app that leads you through a seven minute work out that has been scientifically proven to be effective? EFFECTIVE IN SEVEN SHORT MINUTES? Sign me up!
The work out is pretty self explanatory and as challenging as you make it. When I'm tired, I run the app once (12 exercises, 30 seconds each, with 10 second rest between each) and give it as much effort has I have left in me. Other days, I run the app a few times and pump it out. When I can't bear the idea of doing side planks or push ups, I switch out the side planks for a similar exercise. I have consistently done this work out at least three times a week for two months now. Some weeks, I have done it every day. Finally, I found a work out that this mama can stick with!
