It’s amazing how the littlest things can derail our fitness goals. For the last several weeks, my workouts and clean eating habits have been average at best. I had grown accustomed to my uninterrupted, music in my ears, hour long workouts at the gym (children at the gym childcare).  But then I was dealing with sick children at home, snowy days, etc. and I convinced myself that I couldn’t find the perfect time to workout, and without working out I also felt a lack of desire to cook nutritious meals.

The truth is that if I wait for the the perfect time and perfect situation to live and eat healthily, that time will never come. And when that time does come, chances are I may find scrolling through Instagram for 20 minutes more appealing than squats and lunges. So, instead, I don’t wait for the perfect time, and just MAKE the time to do it! That may mean the laundry has to sit in a pile on my bed for another day…or three :).  I do find that morning workouts are my favorite because it really gives me the motivation I need to eat healthier throughout the day.

I want to share four great workout routines that you can effectively do at home. I found these on Instagram and . As a working mom, I already feel like I have so many things on my mind, but if I have at least a few workout plans saved on my phone, I don’t have to think about it too much. All I need is music!

The “100 Workout” is my current favorite and makes my abs and legs nice and sore!  If you need to know how to do some of these workouts, look them up on YouTube or spend some time on. I am currently aiming to work out 3 times a week. There may be snow on the ground, but spring and summer are just around the corner :).
