No one ever said that being a mum was easy but every mum knows it’s the most rewarding job in the world. Between juggling work and family it’s easy to forget to care for ourselves too. In this article, women’s fitness specialist Kareen Lai shares the 7 reasons why you need to be a sexy fit mummy:

1. You are the most important person.

Let’s be honest here. Motherhood is an indispensable role. If you are down and out, who can take over your role in the family? It is easy to get drowned by the duties of motherhood and forget that we are, in fact, the most important people we have to care for.

Start prioritising your health and put your well-being on the top of the list.

2. Being fit boosts your confidence.

You can say I’m being superficial, but there is no hiding that people judge you by your appearance. How you take care of yourself (and your body) says about how much you are in control of every other aspect of your life. If you let your body and health dwindle and fade, your outlook in life and confidence will definitely follow suit.

Now seize control and regain that confident self again!

3. Men like confident women.

Unless you are married to a male chauvinist, the modern gentlemen like their woman to be confident and independent to a certain extent. I am a believer that all men like to be in the company of sexy fit woman who they can proudly name as their partner. You can say that your husband does not bother about your shape and size. But deep down, all men would love to show off a ‘trophy wife’.

Start claiming that space beside your husband and stop hiding behind him.

4. It adds spark to your marriage.

There is no doubt that when you are Sexy Fit, you will definitely add more spark to your marriage. When you are Sexy Fit, you inevitably feel better, have more confidence in yourself and know exactly what you want. And this can definitely enhance your relationship with your husband.

Get the sparks flying along with motherhood!

5. Your kids will adore you!

All children are born to be active. They are naturally inquisitive and have endless energy. Children love it when their mum gets actively involved with them! Think about the last time you messed around with your kids outdoors or even joined them for a simple activity.

They only stopped asking you to join them because you rejected them numerous times. Next time, try saying yes and be the Sexy Fit mummy for them!

6. You score more wins at work.

When you are your Sexy Fit self, you will exude a level of confidence that will affect the people around you. You will naturally attract others with the same energy levels and achieve more together when your energies rub off each other.

Be the change maker and change will come to you.

7. Endless Freedom.

Everybody seems to be in the race to be financially-free. However, financial freedom is worthless if you do not have physical freedom. When you are a Sexy Fit Mummy, you understand this very clearly and prioritise your health and your family’s health over other aspects in life. You are able to strike a healthy balance of activities for your family and not be afraid to explore (not to mention, also save numerous trips to the doctor)

Expose yourself and your family to the potential they can reach without physical limitations.
