What people are saying about Busy Mom Fitness programme.

Thanks Jacqueline!

Something kind of hilarious: I don’t actually have any kids; I’m in my first year as a lawyer, and I have absolutely no free time, and when I saw the feature in the Globe, I thought the program might be a good way to start exercising again. I’m starting with phase 2, of course, and so far so good. I bet I’m not the only one!

Thanks Susan glad to hear from you.

Questions

Hi Jacqueline,

Hi Jacqueline, Any advice for someone who absolutely cannot do a burpie?  I think due to low core stability/low upper body strength, I just cannot get into the various positions of the burpee. Should I soldier on, or modify? 

Thanks! loving the program!

Answer- Modify this exercise until you are stronger.  The typical modification is lie on your belly and just get yourself up to a standing position, but if you feel that your weakness is core and upper body related then you can perform a  PUSHUP instead of the burpie because you will address both core and upper body strength with this exercise.
