Fitness Apps

Don't knock 'em 'til you try 'em. Fitness apps are a great tool for organizing workout schedules, tracking progress and discovering new exercises. It's like having a virtual personal trainer. Our favorites? Runkeeper, 7 Minute Workout and Zombies Run!.

New Season, New Exercise

Change up your fitness regimen with the changing seasons. When the weather is nice, go for a jog outdoors. During the snowier months, think about trying out a workout class like spin or yoga. Having to adapt your usual fitness routine to your surroundings is surprisingly rewarding, plus it's fun to shake things up every once in awhile.

Love the Activity

Finding a fitness routine you love takes a fair amount of trial and error. And while trying out different activities can be frustrating and exhausting at times, we promise it's worth the effort. Hate running? Try Zumba! Not a fan of lifting? Maybe kickboxing is for you! At the end of the day, by finding an activity you truly enjoy, exercising will feel less and less like a chore and more like something to look forward to.

Dress Up

Having cute athletic wear goes a long way when it comes exercise inspiration. You want to feel confident going into your workout and whatever you're wearing should reflect that confidence. We recommend checking out Stella McCartney's Adidas line, or Kate Hudson's Fabletics for pieces that are both stylish and functional.

Small Steps

Don't underestimate something as minor as taking the stairs versus the elevator or parking your car an extra block from your destination. It's the little stuff that counts, after all! And it adds up. Making these seemingly inconsequential lifestyle changes will help even the busiest mothers stay fit all year long.
