In this video, I discuss training for parents. Specifically: how parents can continue to train and be productive, even with all the challenges that new role presents.
Working out consistently is hard for parents seeing as we simply don’t get any “downtime.” Kids need looking after every minute they’re awake. For those of us who go to work, that means it’s our turn when we get home! And even once they’re in bed, you’ll find yourself preparing lunches, tidying up, washing clothes, and catching up on admin.
Weekends aren’t much easier, as you’ll be visiting friends, taking your kids to classes, and dealing with their various illnesses.
And this video didn’t even touch on how simple activities – like getting into a car – can feel like a stress dream (if I ask my daughter to step back from the car doo, she will rotate six times then back into the road while still somehow being hit by the door…).
Nor did I mention the constant stress and worry you feel for your kids!
I should mention at this point that, in spite of all those challenges, having kids is still MORE than worth it. But yeah, it’s a challenge if you want to stay in shape!
So, how do you keep making progress as a parent? Some tips I cover in this video include:
* Make your training as convenient, practical, and versatile as possible
* Learn to train from everywhere with different versions of your workout
* Invest in training equipment that makes home workouts easier
* Consider using full-body workouts
* Make your workouts modular
* Train functionally to prepare your body for being a parent
