Baby instead of a barbell: 5 home workouts for moms
Gyms in Moscow and St. Petersburg have been quarantined. What to do in order not to lose shape during the forced downtime? Train with children – and trainers-moms from Instagram.
A similar situation is developing not only in Russia, but throughout the world. Therefore, many coaches start sharing their training courses for free. Yes, and give advice on how to do without gym equipment. But what if only a child is at home from sports equipment? There is a way out for such a case.
Anna Strode: mother of four children
“My fitness mantra is anything is better than nothing,” says the trainer and mother of many children. – Sometimes I manage to find time for a full workout in the gym, sometimes I don’t. But this is not a reason not to train at all! “
Anna is happy to share her workout videos, where she uses the cutest weighting agent in the world – her youngest baby. The 34-year-old fitonyasha does not hide: her day often turns out to be absolutely unpredictable, so she cannot even choose the exact time for classes. But if suddenly half an hour is given, then he will definitely use these minutes to work on the body.
And if the kid decided to sit quietly for half an hour next to him, then it’s generally a holiday! You can arrange a full-fledged workout for all muscle groups and how to pump.
By the way, she was not always a fit girl. Once, Anna looked like an ordinary average woman who only saw sports on TV. An inspiring example, I must say.
Emily Skye: waiting for the second baby
After giving birth, this mom recorded workouts for women who recently became mothers, and now – videos for those who are just preparing to become one.
“Just check with your doctor first if you can exercise in your position,” warns Emily.
You can do these exercises anywhere: no equipment is required, as long as the clothes are comfortable and do not hinder movement. All you need is your favorite baby as a helper. By the way, Emily is helped by her two-year-old daughter.
Moreover, the baby does not always behave quietly, as it should be with a decent dumbbell. Sometimes the baby wriggles like a real octopus – it’s more fun for her. But mom is not bad either. The main thing is that both are busy and both are happy: one goes in for sports, and the other hugs mom.
Sia Cooper: mom of two
Metamorphoses with the body of Sia Cooper were bombing: at first she was frankly fat, then she turned into anorexic, and now she finally found balance. And this happened when she had already become a mother. There was not much time for the gym, so she literally took out minutes to do physical education. I used everything for this: the child, the laundry basket, and other materials at hand. And now he shows how to involve children in classes: if they don’t help, then at least they won’t interfere.
In addition, on her page you can find exercises for diastasis, relieving from the “mother’s tummy”, from harmful breeches and other problematic female places.
