Staying in-shape as a mom is no easy feat. Moms are often putting their family before themselves, leaving them little time to exercise. And even if you (moms) do have a spare 30 minutes, how are you going to get to the gym in that time, and who is going to look after the kids?
For these situations, doing online workouts can be the way to go! They are convenient, relatively inexpensive and can be done at home and for certain time periods. But – there are a lot of different digital and online fitness programs, so the dilemma is which one do you choose?
There’s a very new fitness platform called Fitblok which mimic’s real-life training sessions as closely as possible. For example, Fitblok has tons of trainers who stream workouts daily, so unlike workout DVDs where you do the same few workouts and get bored or stop seeing results, you can stay on track with one trainer and get new workouts all the time. And there are classes for almost every type of workout, from yoga to kick-boxing!
The streamed workouts are also scheduled at a certain time of day, so all you have to do is choose which class time you are going to, and ‘show up? to work out at that time! (Let’s admit it, when you?re not accountable to a schedule, it’s easy to push off the workout and never get around to it, right? We?ve all been there.) This way, you can schedule classes that are available during your kid’s normal nap time (for example) and workout with your trainer while never leaving home!
But, as a mom, you know things just ?pop up? and stop you from going to the gym – so, the scheduled classes are available later ?on demand? so if you have to miss for some reason, you can still do the work out.
So, how does pricing work? The platform itself is free- you only pay as you schedule each class, which is usually around only $.99-$1.99, so you?re often paying less in one month than you would for a gym membership. There’s a lot of other great features, like the fact that despite being a digital platform, you can still communicate with your trainer via messages – so if you have a question, feel free to ask him/her! Your trainer can also invite you to his/her future classes, and if you like the camaraderie of working out with friends, can also invite your friends to take the same class with you digitally.
Curious about how this all works? We challenge you to see for yourself and visit www.fitblok.com and let us know what you think! And be sure to comment below on if you would use Fitblok, what you think about digital workouts, or any questions/thoughts.
