A question I’ve gotten a lot over the years is, “How do you stay healthy and fit as a mom of a lot of little kids?” Today I’ll be sharing how my body has been able to maintain health, vitality and energy to be able to keep up with my kids, as well as able to gain weight when I needed to, lose weight when I’m ready to, and maintain that overall life and energy in my body.

These things are tiny lifestyle habits that I consider compounding effects for me over the long term. It’s exciting, because these are easy, do not require willpower or determination, can be done pregnant or postpartum and during a busy or even a sleep deprived season of life. A highly disciplined regimen, while it can be helpful for us to get that motivation to get the extra weight off right away or see muscle tone quickly, it’s not necessarily sustainable for a lot of us in our lifestyle.

None of the things I mention are rocket science, but I do think it’s the simple things that add up over time. Health is intended to be simple, something we can do ourselves from a preventative standpoint. I do want to put my time, energy and money into preventative health and hopefully avoid some of the big things that come from not putting time and intention there.
