Single Moms' Survival Workouts?

[MariaS]

Hi!

I love these forums, so thank you to all you active people out here ! I've been doing Cathe workouts for about 2 years now, and they have really saved me through some of the toughest times in my life.

To the point: I'm a single mom with two little toddlers which means working out is demanding; I wake up at 5am (like so many others out there I know) 5-6 mornings per week, which means going to bed at the same time with my kids. I'm exhausted, I think.

I would simply love to exchange thoughts with others in a similar situation. How do you survive? How do you incorporate working out into the daily routine? How do you deal with with the emotional stress?

Would anyone be interested in a check-out for single moms? I'm very much needing support now, so I hope somebody responds to this..)!

All the best,

SMaria

I am not a single mom but you certainly have my support. I am a mother with 2 daughters and working out is what has kept me sane over the years.

I think that you working out in the morning is one of the best things you can do with small children because you can workout while they are still asleep in most cases. Hopefully you won't find that time to be too stressful. Try to think of it as "ME" time. Everything you do is for someone else (boss and children), so take and enjoy this time knowing it is one of the few things that you can do for yourself.

It would be great if you can get a single mom check-in going, but if not there are so many other check-ins around here that I'm sure would welcome you. We have much more in common than our maritial status...so please consider that as an option.

Take care and keep on hanging in there!
