All year long many moms forget to take care of their basic needs to ensure that they remain healthy.

Skipping meals, missing workouts and not finding time for skin care, over time, can have a negative impact on your health and body confidence. It’s time for a fitness mommy makeover plan so that you can look and feel your best.

Here are my tips for a Working Mom Fitness Makeover:

Set a Fitness Goal

Improving your overall fitness level can positively impact you and the children you love so much. As your fitness improves, you will be able to better keep up with them and their busy schedule. Set a personal goal.Do you want to be stronger, faster, have more endurance, improve your energy level, or all of the above? If you set a goal to get active and write it down, taking the action steps to achieve it will be much easier.

Treat Yourself to a Fitness Gadget or App

Now that you have set a goal for yourself, think of a way that you can monitor your progress. Investing in simple gadgets, such as a pedometer or heart rate monitor, may help keep you motivated and enable you to celebrate your improvements. There are several free apps for smart phones, too, so spend some time to explore what technology will best suit your needs.

Look for an Event to Participate in:

Having something active to look forward to on a weekly or monthly basis and, better yet, doing it with a friend, will help keep you on track with your fitness plan. There are so many fun fitness events to consider: 5k runs, charity events, local dance classes, and many more. Treating yourself to a special occasion is a great way to re energize after a long week.

Take Mini Breaks

Find time everyday for a mini fitness break. A five minute workout on your busy days is better than doing nothing at all. Every second counts when it comes to getting fit and relieving your stress level. With so many mini workouts online from which to choose, you have no excuses.

Schedule Some M-“OM” Time

By ‘OM’ I mean yoga, stretching, breathing and meditation. Its great if you can do some every day before bed or whenever you are feeling stressed out and overwhelmed. It’s amazing how refreshing taking five deep breaths can be, especially when the little ones are testing your patience. A stretch out session before you go to bed may improve your sleep, too.

In order to shape up and get fit, you need to engage in a well-rounded fitness plan that includes cardio, strength, flexibility and endurance. Squeezing in a workout, even if it is short, is better than doing nothing at all. Here are five routines that you can try to add to your week, based on how much time you have available.
