IS
possible. This will begin to show you the importance of time for 'you'. And just think, those little ones are watching...they are learning from their most influential role model, you, about the significance of health and exercise.Wall Series
This Wall Series combines cardio and strength with Wall Jumps and Rolling Wall Squats. Find a space in your home or office that is unobstructed and has 'clean and free' wall space.
Wall Jumps: Facing the wall, stand tall and pull your shoulder blades down and back. Engage your core and begin jumping to a targeted spot high up the wall with either both hands or alternating right and left hands. Keep this momentum up for 1-2 minutes., taking a break every 30 seconds.
Rolling Wall Squat: Place a sturdy ball (like the SPRI Sponge Ball) behind your lower back, against the wall, while in a standing position. Begin squatting down, rolling against the ball and making sure that your knees are in alignment with your ankles. Shoulders should be pressing towards the wall and core should be tight.Keep this momentum up for 1 minute.
Wall Sits: Sit with your back pressed against the wall, so your knees and hips are in one straight line. When you have found your balance, begin lifting each knee up to hold for a count of 10, and then switch. Keep this momentum up for 2 minutes, taking a break every 40 seconds.
Again, these are simple and very effective exercises you can do just about anywhere. You can still keep an eye on those curious kiddos while taking a few minutes out of your day to boost those endorphines, making you a happier Mom. We are here to help you by making strides in fitness, Motherhood and life!
