'Some days, keeping up with my son’s energy is a workout in itself, but other days I want to plan a more structured workout,' says Shakira Akabusi aka StrongLikeMum - Here’s an insight into how she gets it done!
Mum to Rio, Ezra and twins Asher and Aryana, Shakira is passionate about empowering women to build confidence and positivity during pregnancy and postpartum. Alongside encouraging women to balance motherhood with a healthy lifestyle, Shakira is on a mission to shatter the stereotypes surrounding motherhood, in particular body image and mental wellbeing...
To help me manage this balance, I decided that on days when I wanted to workout I would prepare my food in advance. Having a healthy yet quick lunch option, meant I had more time for exercise and could still ensure I had a nutritious food option waiting. I originally learnt this lesson the hard way. I found that although my freezer was stacked with baby puree’s, I rarely had quality food for myself.
Getting outside is great BUT once we’re out where do we go? One of my favourite and most effective ways to workout with a toddler is by taking them to the park. Usually during school hours, when the park is quieter. It’s amazing how many reps you can fit in amongst a game of hide and seek, or failing that, just challenging your toddler to races and other games gets you both moving.
