Top 10 Fitness Tips
1. Do a variety of exercises. Not only do they keep your body challenged, but the workout stays fresh for your mind.
2. Bump up your cardio, especially if you want to see those abs! These are exercises that make you huff n’ puff! All moms have fat overlying the abdominal muscles. The ONLY way to get rid of this fat and see the muscles is through exercise and caloric reduction.
3. You must watch your nutrition, it’s half the battle. Calculate your Metabolism to see how many calories you should consume to lose weight. Check out my Top 10 Food Tips!
4. Give it time! We all want the Quick Fix (myself included) but there is no such thing. Do something pro-active everyday to get to your goal.
5. Train your Inner Core! Toning the abdominal muscles from the inside-out helps pull the waistline in like a corset. You should start with training the pelvic floor and transverse abdominis.
*Also, you need to make sure you do not have Diastasis Recti (a separation in the abdominal wall) before continuing with abdominal training.
6. Workout at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes. But if you do more you will get to your goal quicker! Interval training burns the most amount of calories in the least amount of time! You can interval an all cardio workout or a cardio/toning workout…to find out how click on FAQ at www.momsintofitness.com/faq.
7. Learn to enjoy exercise. So I may be one of the few people that enjoy exercise, but the main reason I love exercise is that it makes me feel better and gives me more energy!
8. Use motivation, not willpower. Willpower works for very few people. Pull out an old pair of jeans, a swimsuit for the summer, a fat picture or a motivational picture of yourself in good shape. Or like I said in #7 all the motivation I need is energy and mood-boosters! Is $250 motivation? Or a chance to be in my next video? Check out my Shed 5 Fast Contest!

10. Do toning for your entire body because A) there is no such thing as spot reduction and B) it boosts your metabolism!Learn more about your metabolism and how exercise, nutrition and body weight plays a role at with the MIF Weight Loss calculator.
