Where do you find the inspiration to exercise when you are exhausted all of the time? How about using your kids as your inspiration? Forget about your pant size for a minute... if you are physically fit, you will also be emotionally and mentally fit, resulting in you being a better mom and a better version of yourself.
There are a lot of benefits of feeling healthy as a mom; a job you need a LOT of stamina and patience for.

What does being overweight as a parent teach your child? When your kid reaches the preschool and kindergarten ages, they know the difference between skinny and fat. Kids have a feeling that's something's not right when their parents look unhealthy and overweight. Mentoring and modeling are dramatically important in parenting. Your nutritional and dietary decisions will significantly impact the choices of your child.
You should influence what your children eat by setting good examples. This is why becoming informed about the Food Industry is critical. In this case, what you don't know will hurt you. Read the labels and know the ingredients in your food. So many food products are exploiting busy moms and are providing quick and easy meals without the nutritional value.
Maaria explains how your kids can be the motivation you need to get back in shape.
