SAHM (Soul At Home Mom) Athletics

I’m sure you have your workout routine. And I’m sure that you religiously hit the gym 3-5 times a week as your doctor ordered. But for times when your workout pants are seeing more crazy than crunches, find peace in this: your body is one beautiful machine, achieving great feats of mommyhood! Here are a few Stay Soul-At-Home-Mom Athletics you may not have noticed you’re a pro at!

Elongate those limbs and strengthen your core as you balance on your tippy toes because… THEY SAW IT!!! Candy dishes look so lovely in banks, offices, and other peoples’ houses, but a gracious dose of finesse is the only way to keep these looking colorfully available for guests.

You know that feeling. YESSSS. Forget walking over to the washing machine, trash can or hamper, you’ve got those free throw skillz and they just keep getting better and better. (Too bad no one sees those sweet shots.)

GOOOOAAAALLL! Those goals are even harder-earned. I mean, did you see the size of that target? And it was hit perfectly while sweeping other stuff… for the third time today… which begs the question: why do I ever serve my children rice, peas, cereal or chips???

Awwww, they want to be just like us (for some odd reason)… and yet their honest efforts can lead to electrocution, third-degree burns and loss of property… or persons. Mini-me is beautiful just the way she is, and mom will jump any distance to rescue her from any other notions.

Also, I love oblivious babies.

So rock those workout pants while you’re performing all types of SAHM Athletics. Stretching, running, balance, coordination, and generally getting your heart pumping are not exclusive to a regimen. Go get your steps and your reps in. Your mini coaches will faithfully push you just a touch further than you were planning to go.

Best-
