Stacie Tovar, a CrossFit athlete and fitness influencer, recently gave her followers a glimpse into her wellness routine with an inspiring Instagram post. Reflecting on her treadmill run, Tovar wrote, “As a parent, long-term goals like heart health are probably the least of your concerns. Focusing on what you gain from exercise today will keep you active.” As a busy mom, she finds motivation in the immediate benefits of exercise, like feeling better mentally and physically. “I’m a much better mom and wife when I get to slip away… even if it’s for less than 20 minutes.” Her approach highlights the power of self-care and consistency for parents juggling many roles.
Tovar talked about finding motivation to workout in her Instagram post’s caption. “Since turning a Mom, I am constantly motivated to workout because of how it makes me feel afterwards. I am a much better mom and wife when I get to slip away from the world (even if it is for less than 20-minutes) to clear my mind, sweat, feel better about myself, have more energy, sleep better, and stay calm… just to name a few.”
Tovar also revealed in her Instagram post’s caption that she has found workouts that she actually enjoys doing, which helps her stay consistent. “To anyone looking for a little motivation today, I challenge you to find an activity you enjoy and focus on the immediate positive effects to keep you consistent. Remember that exercising during your children’s crucial early years benefits your entire family, so finding a will and a way to fit it in pays off significantly. 🤍”
Tovar is seen jumping rope in this Instagram video she posted. ACE Fitness states that jumping rope has a lot of health benefits. “Jumping rope can help improve your coordination. Jumping rope is a cyclic activity, which means you perform it for a steady, regular cadence. The steady cadence and rhythm of jumping rope can help improve the coordination between your eyes, feet and hands.”
In the previous Instagram video, Tovar is also seen doing burpees to stay in shape. A Healthier Michigan states that burpees have a lot of health benefits. “A burpee is an easy exercise and can be done in almost any location because it involves no workout equipment and only requires a small amount of space. Burpees workout your entire body and are great for building strength and burning calories.”
Tovar revealed in her Instagram post that she likes to run to stay in shape. FloTrack states that running has a lot of benefits. “Running has proved to increase your bone mass and prevent age-related bone loss. This exercise helps build up your bones and joints. While the repeated contact between the ground can be harder on some people’s knees, running has been proved to assist in knee strength as well.”
