Today's Guest Blogger is Danyell. She's one of my sister's best friends and is currently helping kick her tail at the gym, on their lunch hours. (She's helped my sister lose 10+ lbs! --- I'm dying to get this woman on my team!) :) Danyell has done several of my online accountability groups and is an active member of my Shape Her Community Group (reserved specifically for Shape Her clients!) She's a mom of 2 kids and she works full-time. Today, she's sharing her tips for working out as a full-time mom of two. She's even included an awesome workout she does on the regular! It's sure to get your heart pumping!
My name is Danyell. I’m a married, full-time working mom of two kiddos – Levi is 3 and Lana is 1! I love Jesus, the beach, and building muscles!
I bet you moms out there are thinking “how in the world does she have time to build muscles with 2 toddlers?!” Well, for the last year I’ve been exercising on my lunch break. I know, I know – You don’t like that idea because you’re thinking “I don’t want to come back to work all sweaty and stinky”. But to be honest, by the time I cool down and get back to change I’m mostly dry and if need be, I just pull my hair up the rest of the day.
Now, let me tell you my schedule. I actually work out with Becky’s sister at lunch now so it’s keeping us both accountable. We go 3 days a week and we shoot for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Sometimes we have to adjust our schedule based on appointments or things that may come up, but for the most part we get in our 3 days. And it’s SO much easier than you think! We get a good solid 40-45 minutes in (we both have about a 10 minute commute to the gym from our work). And let me tell ya – you don’t HAVE to have a gym to get this done! I used to do this at the park on my lunch!
There is such a variety that you can do – run, walk, climb stairs, tabata, an hour of lunges (just kidding!), the list could go on and on! But today, I’m going to give you a really quick but effective workout that you can do on your lunch break and it doesn’t require you to have any tools!

It’s up to your to set your pace, but the faster and harder you go the more calories you burn! It’s a great, short but effective workout that works multiple muscles in your body. I guarantee you that you will be sweating when you’re done with this! And if not, PUSH YOURSELF HARDER!!
Alright Y’all – that’s all I have for today. Thanks to Becky for asking me to blog for her while she’s out!! I’ve enjoyed sharing my tips and hopefully she’ll have me back soon. Have a blessed day!
