*Special thanks to Ryan for being an awesome guest blogger!  Enjoy these 6 awesome at-home exercises for busy moms

As a busy mom, finding the time (or the money) to workout with a personal trainer can be extremely hard. Just making it to the gym alone is hard enough…but paying $50-75/hour additionally for a personal trainer is unfortunately out of the question for most.

Having a certified personal trainer to help hold you accountable and to inform you on “what’s the best exercise to do next” is wonderful and all…..but NOT at the current cost.

Having personally trained hundreds of clients ourselves, we see this problem firsthand based on our years of experience.

Introducing Prolific Fitness

Over the past year, we’ve set out to solve this problem by developing a mobile app, Prolific Fitness, which offers clients the same experience they would get by working with us 1-on-1 in a typical gym setting, but now everything happens 100% from your phone.

We now work closely with a wide array of busy adults (moms/dads) as clients and cater their daily workouts around their schedule, exercise environment (at home, the gym), and their specific fitness goals.

If you’ve been looking for a little extra motivation to get back into shape, below are 6 Awesome Exercises for Busy Moms that will help get you started (look through all six to find a few you like).

Plus….the best part is that you can do all six of these exercises from home (without any equipment)….you can even do them while you’re binging your favorite show on Netflix OR when you create a 20 minute slot of free time 🙂 it’s up to you.

There’s plenty of other beneficial at-home exercise we can recommend for you…..but these six exercises are great to start with 🙂

Unfortunately, training with a certified personal trainer at a gym is too expensive & inconvenient for most people.

We are changing that…..

We’ve created a more affordable solution that allows you to workout with your own certified personal trainer, 100% from your phone….instead of paying $50-75 per hour to work with us, clients pay only $39/mo & workout with us in the same capacity via their phone.

We have replicated the entire experience we give clients in the gym by having:

  • 24/7 direct trainer messaging within the app
  • live video capture
  • professional how-to videos
  • regular check-ins
  • and much more

You can download the app & sign up by searching “Prolific Fitness” in your phones App Store…it’s super easy!

How to download the app:

If you have an iPhone…click here -> Prolific Fitness- iOS Apple Store

If you have an Android…click here -> Prolific Fitness- Android Google Play Store

Feel free to ask us any further questions you may have on proper exercise form/technique, pick a few of the above exercises to start with, and most importantly…..have fun with it.

There’s no reason to dread exercising…..everyone has their own unique starting point.

We know….you’ll be sore the first few weeks getting back into a routine…..that’s okay (and totally normal). That soreness is a signal from your body telling you that it’s not accustomed to the new work load. The good news though is that your body will quickly adapt and you will start feeling better….day by day, week by week as you progress.

We’ll provide some more awesome exercises you can do at-home in our next post.

Until then….download the app with the links above and remember….”half the battle of getting back into shape is getting started.”

  • This seems great and really doable! I know I do not have time some days to make it to the gym but something like this is simple enough to keep up with. Thanks for the ideas and recommendation.

  • I love these! I have to do all of my exercising at home because of my schedule and I am always looking for things that work well!

      Thanks Candy!!

      Agreed…they’re absolutely kid friendly……..still unsure if they’re pet friendly though (my cat tries her best).

      Glad you enjoy them….more fun exercises to come in the next post.

  • These are great and so easy to just do any time! Thanks for sharing – I don’t have time for the gym and I would love to incorporate some of these into my daily routine. (I could even sneak them in at work!)

      Thanks Marysa!!!

      Glad you like them….hope you can incorporate some into your routine.

      You should definitely download the app…..we can create custom tailored workouts each week based on your workout environment, so there’s no need to go to the gym if you want a program specifically made to do at home.

      Side note: if you do exercise #3 (Forward Lunges w/ item) at work, don’t use hot Coffee as the item 🙂

  • I need major encouragement to get my butt to workout. I usually need to go to a class or walk with a friend. I am not sure if an app would work for me!

      Hey Karissa!

      I hear you….getting motivated is one of the toughest parts 🙂

      You should try the app out to see. Based on what you’re saying, I think you’d see the form of accountability in the app would help….it’s working for a lot of others & they like the convenience.

      We can give you friendly workout reminders via message, touch base routinely to make sure you’re sticking to it, & we also sit back when you tell us you’re too busy/need a break.

      With the app, you’re in full control….but have the professional trainer their at your finger tips!!

      Hope this helps.

  • These are some truly great exercises and I will certainly give them a try. What an awesome app also. I find myself very busy these days and I usually just take a quit walk with the weather allows, but I love these and has added them to my day.

      Thanks Lavanda! A nice walk/jog paired with 15-20 minutes of these before or after would be a great combination!

      These six exercises are just a few 🙂 download the app & you’ll see how we incorporate many others in as well (based on your exercise environment, current activity level, & your desired fitness goals).

  • These are all great exercises. I love to do yoga everyday. Some of these movements are part of yoga too.
