As a pilates instructor, I can tell you that a simple yoga mat and 30 minutes is all you need to get a killer workout! Here's a quick mat session you can do:

1. Pilates Hundred (warm up)
2. Roll Ups - Tone your abs, 10 times.
3. Donkey Kick series - works your glutes and hamstrings, 10 times each leg.
4. Planks and side planks - Full body strength, hold for 30 seconds each.
5. Spine Stretch - Good ol' stretch, 5-10 breaths.

Remember, pilates is about precise movement and control. Go slow and keep that mind-body connection. No need to wake the baby, and you'll feel energised!

Just accept it, fitness and being a mom don't mix. Forget home workouts and get a gym membership, you deserve some 'me' time, away from the kids 🙄

Good for you for taking steps to stay active, even with a busy schedule! It's all about full-body exercises done safely. Check out functional fitness training. It's about training your muscles to work together, exactly what we need as busy moms! Also loads of exercises with minimal equipment. Stay strong!

Hi there! I'm in the same boat. Started doing yoga when the kiddo sleeps. YouTube's got lots of fab videos, no jumping needed. Also, a big plus for relaxation and stress reduction!

Resistance bands enthusiast here.

The beauty of bands is their versatility. I suggest trying the following Band Only workout plan that doesn't involve jumping.

Day 1: Upper Body

1. Banded push-ups - 3 sets of 10 reps
2. Banded Bent over rows - 3 sets of 12 reps each side
3. Resistance band shoulder press - 3 sets of 10 reps

Day 2: Lower Body

1. Banded squats - 3 sets of 15 reps
2. Banded Deadlifts - 3 sets of 10 reps
3. Resistance band glute bridge - 3 sets of 15 reps

Remember, progression is key, as you get stronger, either increase the volume or the resistance. Hope this helps.

Hey there! As a busy dad, I get it. Quick workouts are my lifeline. I've followed the 5x5 stronglifts program with just dumbbells. Do each exercise for 5 sets of 5 reps: Dumbbell Squats, Benched Press, Bent Over Rows. Just keep it slow and steady and you'll definitely see progress. Good luck!
