Hello Ladies, I hope my blog finds everyone in the best of health, wealth and that you're living each day to the fullest.
Okay, let's get down to business. I'm a Mom and when my kids were young and I was working in Corporate America, I could never find enough hours in the day to take care of the "me things." I didn't want to even think about the weekends because those two days would be just as busy as a normal work week. So what I had to do is rethink, remap and revamp my entire schedule and life style. I just could not allow myself to work so hard each week at work and home, and not take some "me time."
I've always been into fitness and at the rate I was going, I couldn't even fit that into my schedule. I felt if I went to the gym on my lunch break, that would leave me with eating lunch at my desk among the many interruptions. After school activities consumed my evenings, so I was up shit creek without a paddle regarding free time in that time slot. I knew there just had to be a better way. After all, my parents raised eight kids and my Mom was a housewife, and if she could multitake all the household duties, on top of raising all those kids and being a wife also surely my two boys would be a piece of cake, right? Not!
I created this blog because of what I overheard a busy Mom say in a grocery store one day. She had a cart with an infant in the small section of the cart, a toddler in the larger section of that same cart, and holding the hand of a four or five year old. I stood back in the shadow of the isle and watched this Mom manuver three kids, a grocery list, a ringing cell phone and conversing with the neighborhood deli, meat and bakery employees. When she did reach the check out counter, her face was begging for a "Calagon take me away moment." Since I had already designated that Mom as my case study for the day, I homed in on a conversation she was having at the check out counter with another shopper. From what I gathered, she was a housewife that lived in sweat gear six days a week. Hubby worked in corporate which mean his hours were long and late. She admitted to being just burned out and needing a break. The gym, beauty salon or spa are terms that does not exist with this Mom. That's when I had a light bulb moment. Ladies - it time for us to start being and feeling cute again and start working smarter and not harder!

I just want to share some tips for the busy Moms whether you're a housewife or an executive. A Mom's life is a blessing, however it can also be overwhelming at times. We have so many responsibilities in the home to make sure everything stays on track so everyone can keep their sanity.
I've found that when I don't have time to get to the gym, whether during or after work the below routines assist me with my fitness and workout plan and trust me I get the same result in the areas that I target. Please consult with your doctor before participating in any exercise/fitness program. Okay with that said, here goes:

I've found that when I don't have time to get to the gym, whether during or after work the below routines assist me with my fitness and workout plan and trust me I get the same result in the areas that I target. Please consult with your doctor before participating in any exercise/fitness program. Okay with that said, here goes:
- While sitting at your computer or even folding clothes at home - hold in your abs and lightly lift your butt while keeping your back as straight as possible and pulse your butt muscle (no one will even know you're exercising). Do this for 3-4 minutes a day. This does wonders to firm your butt and assist with the conditioning of your abs. TIP: I do this routine while waiting for appointments (doctor, hairdresser, manicure and even sitting in car waiting for kids).
- To strengthen your calves and thighs - position feet flat on the floor and with heels on floor extend toes (as if you're wiggling your toes) upward while pressing down on heel and as if you're going to slightly raise from your seat but your butt shouldn't disconnect from your chair. Do as many repres as possible. This routine has help me maintain the toned appearance of my legs and thighs by keeping these areas tight.
- To take it up a notch, have some light ankle weights to lay across your feet and while you're at your desk just lift those babies (your feet are under your desk, so who's going to know you're working out while working your 9 to 5). Huh? This routine just add spice to your thigh and leg exercise.
- Now for the forearm area, this is kind of cool and discreet - when I wear mid arm sleeve tops, I place some very flat/small arm weights on my bicep areas and wear them sometime all day and these babies work wonders in assisting with toning your arms.
Now please note that any routines or products that I suggest in any of my blogs or websites, I have used and/or practiced so I'm not going to recommend anything that I haven't personally tried myself. I'm not a licensed fitness expert or personal trainer, however I'm a Mom and a working professional that have tried various methods that worked and continue to work for me.

If these tips are helpful and even if they're not, I want to hear from you. I will be sharing various tips concerning exercise, fitness, fashion and relationships in my future posts. Oh yeah, I may share some fast and easy food prep tips that work for me in my busy schedule. So until next time continue to "Work Smarter and not Harder."
Later Chicks!
