How To Lose Fat If You're A Busy Mom

by Ed Scow (aka The Fit Dad) - Certified Fitness Professional and Fat Loss Expert for Busy Moms and Dads

About a year ago I had a woman named Anne come see me because she wanted to know how to lose fat.

She was a mom with a busy family life and career and didn’t have much time to spend working out.

She wasn’t out to hire me as her personal trainer, rather she wanted me to design a fat loss programs where she could do all the workouts from home and that didn’t take much time.

This was my favorite type of fat loss workout program to design!

However, before Anne left my office, we also talked some more about how to lose fat and how that differed for a busy mom as opposed to a dad or someone without kids or someone who had more time to devote to fat loss workouts.

Not many people realize this, but answering the ‘how to lose fat’ question does differ for busy moms and here’s how:

Moms need to schedule some alone time. It doesn’t need to be a lot of alone time, just enough to get your workout done and get a little sanity break. I understand that you have things to do or that you want to spend time with your family, but when it comes to how to lose fat and succeeding with losing fat, you need to get that alone time in, otherwise your fat loss workout won’t get done.

So, shut your bedroom or home gym door, turn on some music or your favorite TV show and get your fat loss workout done.

The next step moms need to focus on when it comes to ‘how to lose fat’ is you need to steer clear of the worthless exercises. By that I mean moms should stay away from the isolation moves like triceps kickbacks, hip abductor/adductor moves (thigh master movements) and endless amounts of crunches and cardio.

Those exercises are fine, but they really don’t help you lose fat and get a toned, sexy body. They’re largely wastes of time when time is of the essence.

Moms also need to spend some time and focus on healthy, on-the-go snacks that will help you lose fat rather than gain it.

You’re on the go a lot and that often means you either forgo eating until you get so hungry you splurge on something, or you graze on unhealthy snacks that are there for the taking.

Get over both of those situations by preparing portable snacks that will help you lose fat. Snacks like almonds, apples, pears, peanuts, protein bars, etc. Things that travel easily and don’t make much of a mess, and most importantly help you lose fat.

Fat loss for moms really comes down to maximizing the time you have and doing the most you can with it.

As you can see, what I recommended to Anne wasn’t Rocket Science, or some whacko fad diet. It was common sense advice that could be implemented by any mom, all she needed to do was do it. And she did and she lost over 15 pounds in the first 6 weeks!
