POV: You’re a Mom Trying to Work Out at Home

Written By Katelyn Schwartz

If you’ve ever tried to squeeze in a workout while your toddler climbs on your back or your kids are asking for snacks mid-set… you’re not alone.
This is real life.
And it still counts.

So many women think they have to go to the gym to see results — but for busy moms, that often becomes another barrier. Between naps, work, and laundry, it can feel impossible to find that “perfect” time to train. (Plus cold and flu season is coming up too)

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a fancy gym to support your hormones, metabolism, and energy. You just need consistency, movement that feels good, and a plan that works with your season of life — not against it.

💪🏼 Why At-Home Workouts Work (Especially for Moms)

  1. Less Stress = Better Hormone Balance
    Skipping the commute, child care (sometimes this can be helpful though!), and gym crowd means your cortisol doesn’t spike before you even start. Lower stress = happier hormones.

  2. You’re Modeling Healthy Habits
    Your kids see you showing up for yourself.. not chasing “perfection,” but building strength, confidence, and self-care into daily life.

  3. You Can Customize Your Space + Time
    Whether it’s 20 minutes during nap time or 40 after bedtime, movement doesn’t have to look perfect to be effective.

  4. You’ll Build Consistency, Not Excuses
    When workouts fit your life, you’re far more likely to stay consistent, and consistency beats intensity every time.

🩵 What I Tell My Clients

When I work with moms inside my coaching programs, we build plans that meet them where they are.
Some lift heavy in the gym.
Some work out in their living room with bands and dumbbells.
All of them are healing their hormones, balancing cortisol, and feeling more like themselves again.

You don’t have to do it all!! You just have to start.
