Tips For Working Out as a Mom
So, you’re inspired and feeling ready to commit to your goals. But you might need some direction! Cara says to focus on your protein intake—she recommends Clean Ready to Drink Protein Shakes from @SixStarProNutrition—and to always have backup options for your workouts in case your day doesn’t go how you planned. If you missed your barre class, have an at-home workout in your back pocket. Give yourself some flexibility so you don’t get discouraged. You got this!
