"Which sport? I run after the child all day. Wash, clean, feed, change, wash, clean, cook - there was not enough gym. There would crawl to bed, "- you can not argue with these words of young mothers. Especially if there are several children in the family. Especially if they are older. “Diet? Yes, I haven't eaten any crumbs all day! Look, as tea poured in the morning, and it stands untouched. There is no time for anything, ”you can’t argue with that either. 39-year-old Angela Martin was just such a mother. Five children, all day like a squirrel in a wheel. She always felt lethargic, tired and frustrated. There was no time, no energy, no desire to be engaged in yourself. And it would be nice - because after the birth of the last baby Angela weighed already 90 kilos with a rather modest height.

I just ran for the kids, no more work, ”the woman says. Angela always felt tired. The lethargy, drowsiness, and their faithful companion, irritability, as a result, is already fed up with herself. When her youngest daughter, Olivia, was one and a half months old, something seemed to come on inside Angela: she decided that she no longer wanted to live such a life. First of all, the mother of many children found a like-minded woman - the same eternally tired mother of five children, like herself. Competitive moment? No, rather just a company. They started with training sessions - classes lasted for half an hour, but then six times a week. Three times engaged in fitness on video tutorials, three more times went for a walk. The latter quickly turned into jogging. But the biggest step towards change was diet. With an incredible effort of will, a woman threw out refined products and sugar from her life and cuisine. Oatmeal, tuna, eggs, spinach, greens, fruit - that's all the joy. Angela admitted: it was difficult. After all, she was breastfeeding, not getting enough sleep - you can’t sleep with a newborn, especially when there are four more tomboy in the house. But our heroine, with a titanic effort, stepped over her eternal fatigue for half an hour of training. After all, a friend is waiting, you don’t want to let down, nobody has canceled responsibility ...

Giving up sugar “cleared” my head. And I had much more energy. The weight was falling, and every workout, walk or run brought more and more pleasure,” Angela was surprised at herself. A pleasant surprise was parting with the pain in the lower back, from which the woman suffered since her first pregnancy. All she needed to do was strengthen her core and abdominal muscles! After 10 weeks, Angela was already able to run five kilometers. By that time, she had become 15 kilograms lighter. “While the children are running around, my friend and I are training. "Your own success inspires you more than anything else," says Angela. As a result, after six months of working on herself, the woman lost 25 extra kilos, weighs less than before her pregnancies, and has more energy than she has ever had in her life. "Don't wait for the right moment - when the child is sleeping well, when the laundry is finished. And, most importantly, don't wait for this terrible fatigue to pass. Because it won't happen," Angela gives all mothers the most important advice. "Even if it's ten minutes, even if it's three times a week, but devote time to yourself. And don't give up, come back to your exercises every day. It's really not difficult. You just need to decide that spending time on yourself is very important."
