4 Exercise Tips For the Working Mom

Modern life is often hard, and usually stressful, especially if you are trying to work full time and raise a family – itself a full time job on its own! Finding time to exercise regularly on top of all that is challenging to say the least, and staying on target of a weight loss plan can seem almost impossible at times.

That said, I don’t let stress become an excuse for avoiding exercises altogether!
