@soheefit: This narrative makes me sad because it’s completely untrue and disempowers women. Let’s flip the script.

marou :

I'd say it's even more important to exercise WHEN you have a baby! healthy body and mind are crucial to be able to be present for your child! Or any self care routine anyway. Mommas don't feel bad for taking some time for yourselves, you are also very important ❤️

My husband encouraged me to keep doing my Tae Kwon Do when my son was little. I needed that time to push my body and be part of a community. Yes, I’m a mom, but I’m not only a mom.

Tess :

Happy mum - happy baby💜💜💜

ML-X :

I'm not a mom (purposely) but the things exercise does for my mental health are 100/10 - so I think it's only going to make you a better mom, wife, person, everything!

Tailored to you 🐨🦘 :

aaaaand youre providing an amazing role model. I WISH my parents had been i to exercise. its taken me 51 years to figure all this out.

Musch :

your baby will grow up to a wonderful example of how having your own life no matter what is essential to show up for other in their life. love it, thanks for the positive message 🥰

spotterick :

one of my biggest motivations to go to the gym as a mom is so I can play football and do things with my child. As I had broken my back everything is harder to do sometimes but my child has been the biggest motivation to really push myself. As he deserves a mother that loves herself and is also a good rolemodel for him.

Self care is never selfish ❤️

Ben looks so happy! You guys rock.

People too often forget that a parent’s life as an individual does not and should not end simply because they’ve had children. Of course their priorities change and your child is the focus. But its incredibly good for your mental health to continue being the distinct version of you not defined by being a parent. Continuing to make time for hobbies and interests. It’ll be less time than before but it shouldn’t be zero.

Meloha :

I’m a mom. The one advice I always give is make time for yourself. It doesn’t matter what you do, if it’s training that makes you feel better. You do go do that. But that break makes me a better mom. When I’m out my husband has the kids and yes he also make dinner for all of them and me. I train 3 times a week, and it makes sure the I function. I agree with you completely! 🌺

Erin :

I am a better parent when I have time away from my kids.

km1983 :

The more people depend on you, the more important is it to exercise and take care of yourself ❤️

astridalbert34 :

don't give yourself up in motherhood...however, it is a lesson that keeps to be repeated over years...

jenniep2304 :

I signed up to run my first marathon, finally, when my second was 3 months old. I don’t feel bad for training they were with their amazing dad and building that bond, whilst I got a break and made me feel sane again

Jenn Jean 🇨🇦 :

Coming from someone who doesn’t have kids, I think it’s great that you’re taking time for yourself.

Louise Emma :

Preach 💕

Big love ❤️to you baba and Ben toooooo adorable you guys !

1. Baby’s needs. 2 Parent’s needs. 3 Baby’s wants. 4 Parent’s wants. Exercise falls in the Parent’s needs category so provided Baby is safe, fed, clean etc you owe it to Baby and Yourself to give you what you need!

kom99mel :

My mom (who was widowed at 28, I was 5 and my brother almost 3) ALWAYS took one night off per week to herself when we grew up (and it was rare in the 70’s in Sweden). Mostly she’d go to a gymnastics class, but later on she started playing the flute in an orchestra. I NEVER felt ignored or neglected by this and knowing my mom as an adult I KNOW she needed that to be the best mom to us. Today she is a very active and healthy 81-year old woman. She takes a brisk one hour walk every day and she goes to zumba classes, weight lifting classes, aerobics classes AND parkour classes (for seniors) every week!!! She’s one of the most active people I’ve ever met

Anastasia Beaverhousen :

Luckiest little girl in all the world 🥰

New Day :

The fact that you're exercising at all, blows my mind!!! When I had my beautiful daughter, I was breastfeeding a baby that was waking up every couple of hours, and I didn't have anyone to help me. The fact that you're physically able to find energy andv the strength to do more is a WOW!
