These days I have very limited time to get my workouts in.
Aleena is almost crawling now (yikes!) and when she is awake, she is AWAKE. She wants to explore, play, and put anything and everything in her mouth.
As soon as I put her down for a nap, it’s GO TIME. I am amazed at how much faster I can get things done now that I’m a mom. I literally can do 20 things in the same amount of time I used to do 1 thing. I guess that’s what happens when your life is measured by your baby’s naps.
So let’s get into the workouts. Most of the workouts I do now are quick and intense. I want to get the most bang for my buck, in the shortest amount of time. If you’re life is crazy hectic, but you want a quick and effective workout, give these workouts a try. If you’re a masochist like I am, I guarantee you will LOVE them.
