Last week we kicked off this free workout series with a focus on our quads. This week, let’s dig into those adductors (aka inner thighs!).
If you’re anything like me, you’ve found yourself ridiculously to the point of tears frustrated with the lack of time & energy you have to take care of yourself. If you’ve got kids, they demand your energy and attention and that can leave you thoroughly drained at the end of the day.
The thing is, you KNOW that you’d have more energy if you could figure out where you could sneak in a little self care time. It’s beyond frustrating, like a never ending downward spiral that you know is going to end with you in a messy pile of snot & tears, unshowered, in a heap on the floor.
I’ve been there! I decided, when my first born was very young, that I would start my day looking for the time I could take to do a few planks, or donkey kicks, or whatever really, as long as I was moving. It would end up being about 10 minutes a day, and many days those were split up into 2 minute increments. It was hard just to get that 10 minutes in!
I think that the biggest mistake, when it comes to finding time for yourself to exercise, is looking for a sizable timeslot when you can hand your child off to someone else. Sometimes, we may get that luxury, but even if you have child care at your gym, you may be so exhausted that you can’t seem to ever get yourself there.
First of all, don’t go for an hour. You don’t even have to go for 30 minutes. If you can figure out how to move your bod for at least 10 minutes a day, you’re on the right track.
And then, take out the middle woman- take out the extra effort- and do your workout WITH your kids? I’m sure a bunch of reasons pop to mind, so before you spin off too far, click on the vid below and do this short and effective inner thigh workout with me. I’ve thrown in some arm work as well, just for fun, so grab a set of weights and let’s go before you can remember that you’re exhausted and don’t have the time! You will be so happy that you did…
