I got this message for another week and so felt. Frightening. Again.
“… The biggest challenge is now that I’m constantly working mother of two young boys and I’m just exhausted.
I am currently on the hamster wheel of life, I give myself to everyone and everything around me.
It’s not just that it’s hard to find time to exercise … it’s hard to find energy.
It is also difficult to create a routine that I can glow, the one who can only without thinking, I gave all variables in life. “
Parental young children are a particularly challenging period of time. In your routine there is a ton of variability, high demand of your time and attention, not much energy to threaten.
Whether you are a parent, a guardian or just pass through an incredibly busy season of life, trying to add a fitness routine at the top of another can feel like Jim Gaffigan joke: “You know how to have five children? Picture you drowning. And then someone teaches you a child.”
We hear all the time with clients in our coach program.
So I want to walk you exactly how I help them withdraw them in this intense period, while still finding time to work on their health and fitness in ways that feel sustainably.
And the continuation “Matt stands in front of the White Plate in your office and record the video” Experiment, I got the video with the notes so that you can digest it in any format best for you. ❤️ (Bonus points to everyone who recognizes where my T-shirt is from!)
And if you are someone who is struggling to find consistency with your exercises, answer this email! I’d like to see how I can help. 💪
Key challenges
If you tell me you are a parent then I can immediately predict a few things:
- High variable schedule
- High Time and Attention Requirements
- Lack of predictable routines.
- (Periods) low energy
I still remember talking to Mike (host Chasing) And as he kept saying, “This week is crazy, but next week, things will finally return to normal.”
After a few weeks of this, I stopped him and said something along the lines: “I think unpredictable is the only predictable thing.”
Our mantra has become “no normal“And that was crucial for his success in making 148 exercises in so far (and counting!)
Strategies
Dialing mode
If we know that every day is very variable, then our plan must take into account.
Start by creating a short and easy training for bodyweight that you can do in 5-15 minutes. (Like I’m doing 1 circle of this exercise.) Becomes a key enigmatic piece that you can fit into a crazy day.
When I worked for a fitness force, I remember coming after a long night with a statue, feeling absolutely dead into the world. These days, my boss And I’d look at myself and say, “Turkish institution and Farmerova is carrying? “Two movements that will just run us and move a few minutes and then cash for the day.
Accumulation
Exercises don’t have to happen all at once. You can break in the mini sessions in the day or even week!
The more important factor is the job set, not in time. 💪
It is just a strategy I use with new parents. We write a list of exercises and the target number of repetitions that will end throughout the week. Then they make them like I can. If you want an example of how this looks, shoot me and email and I’d love to share some!
Me time
Sometimes it is really important to try to drop the time in your schedule to focus on you. This may mean asking a partner to help or make some difficult decisions about conduals. It is not always possible, but it is still worth considering.
We did that with my Michelle client. It was hard to become training, so we passed some compromises to make it. She asked her support partner and managed to throw away 20 minutes after work. It would go abruptly and perform the exercise in the garage. She wasn’t “home” until she walked through the garage door.
I’m going, you’re going
If you can’t win them, join them! Invite children to participate with you.
Transfer the focus to higher training based on skills or based on playback that can be more engagement. Instead of optimization for “results”, optimize for fun and connection.
This is an option that was most significant in my life. Part of my why It connects with others and modeling healthy behavior for my own children. While I still like to work alone, find more ways to turn my family to make a journey more and more award-winning. ❤️

And there you have! If you were my client I would pass you through these similar steps
- We would exhibit your current schedule and very actual challenges involved.
- We would understand which strategy is best suited for you.
- Then I would write exercises and supported the responsibility to take off the thinking of your plate and help you stay on the way. 💪
Whether you are busy a parent or just someone goes through the busy period in life, give these strategies to try and let me know how it goes!
