When you&#8217;ve had a crazy busy day (like, every day), then getting a sweat on in a workout or heading out for a walk is hard. We all have days like this, maybe lots of days like this. Here&#8217;s a few of our favourite ideas to help you to stay motivated to keep moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make is easy for yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t need to be overwhelming. MUTU System is designed for moms, to do at home, around your busy schedule. You need minimal equipment and most things can be found around the house. Don\u2019t over complicate things. For more detail on what happens in the MUTU programme click the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/join\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-Bandana-Girl-1024x384.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-Bandana-Girl-1024x384.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-Bandana-Girl-500x188.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-Bandana-Girl-768x288.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-Bandana-Girl.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motivation to exercise: Know your goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes a little deeper than &#8216;getting in shape&#8217;. Your personal goal is for you, about you and about how you want to feel. You want to feel good about your body, confident, strong and most of all happy. You don\u2019t need to settle for anything less. Once you know your goal. Hold on to it, even write it down, so you never forget your motivation to exercise and why you\u2019re doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get organised<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait for \u2018spare time\u2019 to fit MUTU or your daily walk in. &#8216;Spare time&#8217; is a myth for mothers, there&#8217;s no such thing. Take time for YOU. Set points in the day that you know are specifically designated for MUTU. That could be nap times, when your other half gets in from work, when you\u2019ve set the kids up to do something fun for an hour. Whatever it takes, assign yourself that time. You deserve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/join\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-packshot-orange-1024x384.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-packshot-orange-1024x384.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-packshot-orange-500x188.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-packshot-orange-768x288.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Ad-packshot-orange.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motivation to exercise: make it part of your day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If something is part of your day, there\u2019s no way you\u2019ll not do it. If you\u2019re struggling to fit in your daily walk, make it so it\u2019s part of the whole family\u2019s routine. Rain or shine, take a walk outside at a point that works for you during the day.
