Work it out......

For us busy Moms, finding time to exercise can be challenging.  Most of us probably feel like we get a cardio workout everyday from chasing kids and busy schedules, but what about strength/resistance training?  


Strength/resistance training improves bone density, strengthens muscular and skeleton systems, increases metabolism, improves posture and many other benefits.


Here are two exercises (click on link below for video demo) that can be done while preheating the oven or boiling water for pasta. These two exercises can be done anytime, if these are challenging, start off with 2 sets of 15 and work up to 50 a day.

Counter Top Push ups work the shoulders, chest, triceps, back and abs....

remember to hold in your stomach.

Lunges work most of the muscles in your legs including hamstrings, quads, gluteus and calves.
