This disturbing list is forever incomplete and will never be final. The home workout drama for us mamas goes on and on and on….

  1. You pause your workout to put a load of clothes into the dryer. Why? Because ((insert person’s name here)) has no clean underwear and neither do you.
  2. You are accustomed to using human weights (aka, your kids) to do squats.
  3. You almost miss your workout because you’re too busy cleaning up last night’s mess. Mess = scattered books, crayons, clothes, shoes, unfinished art projects, homework, food-encrusted computer keyboard, etc.
  4. You do miss you workout because you’re child begged for morning snuggle time. It’s okay that you caved in, but now your kid won’t release their death grip.
  5. Your left dumbbell is missing (yes, the left one) and was last seen in the toy box…but it’s not in there anymore…of course not.
  6. You can barely get in a push-up without someone climbing on your back. You can barely get in a squat without someone perching under your legs like you’re a human fort.
  7. You can’t focus on your workout because your child decided to sit on the couch and watch you while giving a play-by-play soliloquy of yesterday’s Spongebob episode.
  8. You suck at your workout because your child is watching you again, and has determined that “you don’t work hard enough”. They can do much better.
  9. Your significant other slaps your booty during your workout. This makes you feel sexy. You’re about to smile, but then he proceeds to describe in horrific detail the fitness-stench emanating from your body. The kids agree with him. You stink.

Good Morning, Bitch Face

    This is why it’s hard to workout at home for me! Too many distractions. I’ve tried to do workouts and yoga, etc, at home and my cats and dog get involved. I can’t even imagine how hard it will be when the kid is finally here. 😉

    For me, i keep having to stop my workout so i can stir whatever is cooking at the moment. Or feed a cat. It’s a wonder we ever get anything done, much less a workout!

    Which is exactly why I go to the gym and put them in the daycare! Of course that does not stop #9 from happening when I go with my husband. Can’t win ’em all….

    My son sometimes interrupts me during my weekend workouts. When I have the stability ball out he’ll play on it. I’m doing lateral Lunges and he’s rolling the opposite way.

    ha, #9! I doubt that.
    Also, I rarely work out so I suck. I’m a busy mom, though.

    When is the list coming out about how pets help with workouts too? Nothing like a dog lick in the face when doing ab work on the floor.

    For me it’s pet help. Cats on your back make pushups a lot harder.. 🙂
