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!

Wow! How do 8 babies even fit in a lady :S
I know! It makes you wonder!
Wow Naomi!!! This sounds like a realistic way to get my weight back under control. It sounds like it will give me the opportunity to develop a lifestyle that will accommodate my family’s needs without neglecting my own. I can’t wait to learn more about the program. Thanks for the “heads up”! GOOD LOOKING OUT!
The Octuplets Mom is not going to have time to do this or anything else for that matter. Fourteen kids…….8 of them new born . . . premature at that…..WOW!!!! Good luck lady.
Hey Marlene,
Thanks for stopping by! I hear ya on the Octuplets Mom! I thought she had a chance with 8 kids but 14? LOL If she decides to make herself a priority, she can make it happen. I’m really lovin’ the way this fitness plan is fitting into my crazy busy lifestyle. Everyone around me keeps asking Wow what are you doing?
Everyone needs to have time for themselves.. I do not know how this women will ever have that time!! She sould have just been a teacher!!
Thanks Jen for stopping by! LOL @ the teacher comment! She is building her own class, huh?
I feel for the lil children. She’s hiding her identity because she realizes what a mess she’s created. This kind of mess is so outrages that it is causing so much heart ache & pain, instead of the love & joy that children are meant to bring to family & friends. How sad. How sad!
Rosa, The crazy thing is that she PLANNED this! She paid for a sperm donor!
Wow unbelievable 14 kids total wit 8 newborn Idk but I wouldn’t b able to cope. She can loose her weight naturally all she need to do is keep pumping non-stop it work for me! awww how miserable. 14 children is too much for a couple hopefully thy have a therapist!!
A women that already has 6 kids should have thought a little longer before trying to have more. I would want to keep my identity a secret too. Know I suppose my tax dollars go towards this and the buy out. lol
Go Naomi You know I am a member of yummy mummygood luck
Hey Stacy! Thanks for stopping by! We are going to be yummy mummies together! You go girl!
Sounds like tons of fun, Naomi! And I love the name, “Fit Yummy Mummy”. Even the busiest moms can weave in 90 minutes a week of “mum” time!
As you may know, I’ve been a perinatal instructor for many, many years. Working with expectant couples and new moms and dads (and their precious babies!) is a true passion of mine. But OCTUPLETS?? with 6 other children at home already?!
I’ve just got to be brutally honest here. I think it’s outrageous!
Cheerleading for you as you finish your fitness challenge,
~Melanie
Thanks so much Melanie! I appreciate your support..
I am really astonished to hear this news. I am really surprised- how she is going to handle those babies?
