Juggling kids, work, chores and everything else on your to-do list can make prioritizing your own health and fitness seem impossible. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Health and fitness can definitely fit into your busy parenting schedule with a little planning and creativity.


Christina is joined by Cut & Conquer head coach and new mom, Brittany, to share tips on how to survive and thrive in your fitness journey without feeling the mom's guilt and still being the healthy role model for your kids and your family. 


In this episode, they discuss:

  • How to take care of children while also taking care of yourself 
  • Tips for managing fitness and parenting
  • Finding discipline and being adaptable to your fitness goals as a parent
  • Involving children in exercise by playing sports with them or doing workouts together
  • Setting up a simple home gym to make workouts easier
  • Affordable home gym equipment that parents can use
  • Teaching kids healthy habits and making exercise a regular part of family life
  • Meal prepping on weekends so you have food ready during busy weeks


Memorable Quotes:


“No matter what, as an individual, as a woman, as a mom and dad, whatever, you still have needs that need to be met in order for you to show up as your best.”


“Life is truly about balance and making choices that determine trade-offs for you and your 

family.”


“If fitness is a priority for you, you’re going to find a way to make it work.”


“There’s always something you can do, no matter how busy or overwhelmed. Like there’s always something you can do for your mind, your body, your nutrition, somewhere every day.”
