As a busy owner of a brick and mortar training studio and online training business, while still being a mom to a toddler, and wife (plus so much more) days happen where I can’t get to the gym for a workout. This is not an excuse for me because there are great ways (including this awesome stair workout) to get a workout in at home, in the backyard, or anywhere really.
Life is busy I get it and I can relate to this “excuse”; however, no matter how busy I get I will always make time to move my body. Maybe not everyday, but at least 4-5 times per week I am taking time out of my day to focus on me, this could be an hour or even just 30 minutes in the day because I know it makes me feel better and helps me excel in all other areas of my life. Before I had a child, my business was my first baby and I learned even then how important it was to ensure I was taking time to work on my own health because if I’m not happy and healthy then everything else around me will fail. Once I had a child, I knew this was even more important, I have to make sure I take care of myself so that I can be healthy and energetic to be the best Mom I can be 🙂
This Stair Workout Was a Life Saver For Me Right After I Had My Son
I used to live in a condo and I would pop out for about 15-20 minutes when I could to get a quick workout in and it sure helped me feel great during sleepless nights in early motherhood. I still re-visit this stair workout often whether it’s as a finisher to my strength workout at the gym or a quick sweat session up and down my stairs at home while my son is napping. I also used these workout tips to make sure I got my workout in when I was home with my baby.
