I’m sure that you heard of the story here in Los Angeles of the recent birth of octuplets. This is going to be one busy woman! I mean how do you breastfeed 8 children? Her “Me” time is surely going to be out of the question for a while.

***NEWS UPDATE: SHE HAS 6 OTHER CHILDREN ALREADY?*** What was she thinking when she took fertility treatments? Umm..I don’t think she has a fertility issue. Although many of us do not have 14 children, how many of us as moms don’t make ourselves a priority?

The beauty of her situation is that there is a fitness plan even for the mom of octuplets. The Fit Yummy Mummy system is a fitness plan designed for the busy mom.

All you need is to use bodyweight exercises to warm-up, short burst resistance training supersets(using bodyweight and dumbbell exercises) to boost your metabolism, and then finish your workout with short burst interval training to burn fat in a surprisingly short amount of time.

My fitness coach, Holly Rigsby, has structured the Fit Yummy Mummy System so that you can do the workouts in one of 4 different formats – but each way requires no more than 90 minutes per week!

1) First, you can do the 15-minute resistance training portion followed by 15 minutes of interval training. This workout would be done three times per week, preferably with a day of rest between workouts. In total, only 90 minutes per week required!

2) In the second option, you can do the resistance training and interval training on alternating days. That way, you’ll workout up to six days per week for 15 minutes each day – again, no more than 90 minutes per week. I am doing this pattern right now but next week I think I want to switch it up and try the 3X’s/week. Variety is the spice of life!

3) In the third option, you can choose to do one component in the morning and the other component at night. So if it works for you to start your day with 15 minutes of intervals or resistance training, and then slip in another 15 minute workout later in the day, that works too. If you do this, stick to the three day per week schedule, for a total of 90 minutes of exercise each week.

4) Or finally, you can use a combination of the above – whatever suits your schedule. Just aim to do three short burst resistance and three interval workouts each week.

As you can plainly see, the Fit Yummy Mummy System is flexible and adapts easily to your busy and even hectic lifestyle. You don’t have to worry about blocking off an hour or two each day to get to the gym and back. All you need are 15-30 minutes and a small amount of space in your house and follow along with the Fit Yummy Mummy Workouts.

Compare that to what most people do – marathon cardio sessions where they run, jog, cycle or use the cardio machines for 45 minutes straight and then follow it up with 30-60 minutes of ineffective machine circuit training. Sure, that will burn some calories in the gym, but it doesn’t build a better body in a shortest amount of time.

In fact, there are a few drawbacks to long slow cardio, including less-than-optimal results, the potential for overuse injuries and a waste of your precious time. If you only have 30-45 minutes for your workout and you spend it all on a cardio machine, when are you going to train the rest of your muscles and sculpt a better body and boost your metabolism?

It’s research-proven that the best way to burn belly fat is with a combination of short burst resistance training and interval training. It’s fast, it works, you can do it at home, and as you’ll see, its fun! Congratulations..er..or should I say God bless you New Octuplets + 6 Mom in your new journey!
