*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.
1) Mountain Climbers
2) Chair Dips
3) Forward Lunges
4) Lying Hip Lifts
5) Russian Twists
6) Wall Sits
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.”
It feels so impossible to have time for exercise as a stay at home mom but these feel doable!
This is so helpful for this busy SAHM mom in Logan, Utah!
Great tips! I can’t always get to the gym so this is really useful! I will definitely try these in-between gym sessions!
I need to start some kind of exercises that would strengthen my back. I think a couple of these might help and of course if I could do them all, all the better.
I love the simplicity of these workouts. I’m actually looking forward to getting back into shape after this pregnancy.
These are great and simple exercises. The app virtually seems to bring the gym and the trainer home. I do a combination of Yoga, weight training and stretches as part of my fitness regimen.

Thanks Sandy 🙂 yep, we take the personal experience that we offer clients & bring everything to clients via a mobile app….which makes it more convenient & allows the price to drop significantly (without losing any value).
I need to look into this thing. I could use this a lot!

Hey Sara,
You’ll like it a lot. I’m the founder & built the app.
Search “Prolific Fitness” in your app store & you can download it right from there….super easy. Then you go through the initial fitness goal questions. Once I see your name come through, I’ll personally message you in the app & we can chat more about what you’re looking to accomplish.
We give clients in the app the same experience as you would get in the gym, but for an affordable cost 🙂
