Become A H.O.T. Mom© this Summer

Get Beach Body Ready

By Suzy Stauffer, M.ED.

 

Are you sick and tired of another summer covering up extra baby weight and feeling guilty about putting yourself first? Still holding onto those pants that fit before you got pregnant, telling yourself that someday you will fit back into them? Wondering how you can get results — and fast? It’s time to take action - to become a H.O.T. Mom©! (Happy, Optimistic, Taking Action Mom©). Decide right now that it’s possible and then make time to have a body you are proud of.

 

This summer, whether you want a 6-pack, to lose weight or get rid of the post partum pooch and bingo arms, you will need to do some resistance training and some clean eating. You will rev up your metabolism while burning fat and calories faster. Muscle does weigh more then fat but it takes up a lot less space in your favorite jeans!

 

As a mom of three kids, I used to reach for the cover up all the time! I was skeptical I could ever get a body I could be proud of and take care of after becoming a mother. But, since the gym workouts weren’t working I had to find a more efficient way and decided to try a program called P90X. I got in the best shape of my life and now I have more energy, more motivation and confidence.  I became an independent BeachBody Coach so I could help other moms achieve their goals too. I truly believe moms deserve to feel strong and healthy!

Make a commitment to “You” and make time for health – no excuses!

Your health is a priority and your family needs a mom that is happy, healthy and full of energy. Get up before the kids awake or wait until they are down for a nap. If you can't carve out a 30-minute block for fitness, try fitting in three 10-minute blocks. The stronger you are the better you will be able to manage your already busy life.

 

Feeling good looks good
Small changes can have a big impact on both your physical and mental well-being. Within 30 days of healthy eating and regular exercise, you will see an improvement in energy levels, weight loss and increases in muscle tone. That jiggle butt and back fat will go away if you get serious about it now. Even if you don't lose as much weight or get as toned as you'd like, experts say there's another big benefit to eating right and exercising - confidence.
