Nothing beats the feeling of being a wife and mom! Ask any woman and she’ll tell you this wonderful and life-changing chapter brings a fulfillment and a sense of purpose like no other. With motherhood come great, beautiful and brilliant things that can make any woman feel complete and inexplicably happy; it gives living a brand new meaning!

That being said, parenthood requires a stronger, better and fitter you. How else will you be able to carry on the tasks asked of you if you are unfit and weak? Do what you can to be physically capable of taking charge of your home’s affairs while fulfilling the real-life role of a mother and a wife – while still feeling good about yourself! Don’t allow yourself to become a statistic; be fit for it all!

Now more than ever, you need to stay in shape. But one of the biggest challenges of being a wife and mom is this: it’s almost impossible to squeeze in some “me-time” to your schedule, let alone a one- or two-hour workout.

The solution? Easy-to-perform routines that don’t eat up a huge chunk of your busy day! Here are four of them that you can start doing today for 10 to 30 minutes!

Chair Dips

Moms need strong upper arms, don’t they? Chair dips help you achieve that while keeping those arms toned and targeting your triceps.

  1. Get a chair and sit on the edge. Keep your feet together and place your hands next to your hips.
  1. Slowly slide off the edge while bending your elbows at a 90-degree angle. Your back should be close to the chair while doing these.
  1. Push back up.
  1. Repeat 10 to 12 times.

Squats

Abdominal muscle and joint muscle strength are definitely a must for a mom who can’t help but carry her not-so-little munchkins (among other heavy stuff) and run around to keep up with them (among other chores that tug you from all directions). Squats keep your ab muscle groups as well as your knees strong and ready for those situations that require super-mom powers.

  1. Stand up with your feet apart.
  1. Take your arms up and forward, and hinging at waist level Sit back in a position that suggests reaching for something being pulled away by someone.
  1. Go deep until the upper part of your legs is at a parallel level to the ground. Keep your knees steady but stay behind your toes while doing this.
  1. While lifting the chest and pushing on the heels, stand back up and return to the first position.

Push-ups

There’s no question about it; a mother has to be physically strong. The chest, the arms, the back, the abdominal area and the glutes should all be toned and well conditioned to conquer the daily challenges of motherhood that can be physically taxing. A regular push-up does that!

  1. Lie on the floor face down and place your hands wider than the shoulders. Keep your knees behind the hips. Hold the torso part of your body up at arm’s-length
  1. Keep your body lower; when you inhale, your chest should almost touch the ground.
  1. Lift yourself up. Your knees should be off the ground while you keep your body posture straight.
  1. Lower your chest and hips simultaneously while bending your elbows at 90 degrees.
  1. Using your hands, push and lift your hips and chest to return to #3. Exhale as you do this step.

To strengthen your core even more, keep your hips and chest aligned as you take your body lower.

Tricep Dips

Many moms aren’t very happy with their triceps and want to melt those saggy areas and keep their arms toned. With tricep dips, you can do just that while also working out your core and lower body

  1. Sit on the floor with your hands directly under your shoulders and behind the hips.
  1. Bend the knees and place your feet underneath.
  1. Slowly lift your hips.
  1. Lower the upper body as you bend your elbows. Tighten your abdominal muscles as you do this.
  1. Extend your arms and through the elbows. Return to #3 by pushing on the heels.

To work out your core better, use an armless chair.
