Taking Care of Yourself is Part of Taking Care of Your Kids

-

 

    I usually begin my day at 5:00 a.m. with a two-hour workout at Planet Fitness | Judgement Free Zone® | Gym and Fitness Club. Working-out is an essential part of my daily routine to remain healthy both physically, mentally and emotionally. In achieving my strength training goals I practice split training. Split training is a weight training program that involves diving training routine exercises of the upper and lower body. 
    First, I begin my workout with 10 minutes on the elliptical to boost my cardio endurance. At the end of my workout, I get back on the elliptical for 30 minutes to burn fat to lose weight. 
    Always remember it is extremely important to stretch before and after you work out. When you stretch, it helps keep the muscles flexible, strong and healthy. Flexibility is extremely important to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without stretching the muscles shorten and become tight. Stretching before you workout helps to make your muscles looser and warm up your body. Stretching after your workout helps with blood flow that helps with muscle recovery. 
    Exercises helps boost my mood, lowers my stress level and it sets a good example for my son. Another reason exercise is important is because it is a great form of self-care. When you take the time to exercise, you are investing in your health and happiness. Below are my daily routine workouts that I rely on to help me be a better parent and keep my sanity.

    Thank you for being giving your workout routine and being an inspiration to stick to a routine and work as hard as possible for something. I love how your saturdays workout is doing something fun with your son, when it would be so easy to take a double "rest day".

    This is a great routine! I will keep these in mind as I follow a strict gym schedule these days. I have found the gym to be my therapy and I could not do it with out the gym these days
