For moms, sometimes a nap *really is* a far better option than working out. But we also want to recover and stay healthy and well, and so finding the motivation to exercise postpartum is a balance. EVERYONE has days like this, but it\u2019s how we move past these moments, and keep moving forward and focused on our goals, that matters. So we\u2019ve compiled a few of our favourite pointers to help you to stay motivated throughout your MUTU System journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make is easy for yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t need to be overwhelming. MUTU System is designed for moms, to do at home, around their busy schedule. You need minimal equipment and most things can be found around the house. Don\u2019t over complicate things. Use your journal and tick days off as you go (we love a tick list here at MUTU Towers!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Know your goal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It goes a little deeper than just getting in shape after having babies. Your goal should be about you and 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 why you\u2019re doing what you\u2019re doing, every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get organised<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t wait for \u2018spare time\u2019 to fit MUTU or your daily walk in. Spare time is an absolute myth when you embark on motherhood. Make 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

Motivation to exercise postpartum – make it part of your day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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, off you all trot for a walk at a point that works for you during the day. Fresh air and exercise = worn out children (generally\u2026we can\u2019t promise). Win, win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"MUTU<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use the support of others<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Draw on the support of others as much as you can. MUTU Mama Connect<\/a> (our rather fabulous private community forum) is full of other mamas from all over the world, doing exactly the same program as you, going through the same process as you, and the best part is, we can all help each other. Hold yourself and others accountable by opening up discussion in the group or asking a family member to check in with you each week on your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tag us on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> or Twitter<\/a> to keep us up to date with your progress! We love to see how you\u2019re getting on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
