Park Bench Workout

They are so many days when being a mom takes precedence over my workouts and for the past few months it has been a constant struggle to fit it all in.  Many days it just didn't happen and I will would end up feeling depressed or even mad.  I recently made a new commitment to myself " workouts should be fun, not another job.  I will do my best to be active daily but if I miss a workout or I only have time for 20 minutes to spare I will make the most of it and then move on." I decided to share this because I think there are many moms who are too hard on themselves as I have been and I hope to inspire them to be more forgiving of themselves. 

Moms are STRONG inside and out!:)

Today I took my kids to the local park and while they played by me I was able to squeeze in a 30 minute workout.

Park Bench Workout
Equipment: Bench, kettlebell, a watch
This is what I did...
