Two Minute Moves with Springfree Trampoline
min read
Over a decade ago, I had a baby and a toddler and perinatal depression. Everything felt so overwhelming. All the time, freedom and motivation I used to have to exercise had vanished. I could hardly get myself to put a load of washing away, let alone get to the bootcamp class I used to do before baby number 2 came along.
It was at this time that I somehow managed to start doing workouts at home. Not for half an hour or even 15-minutes. All I could bring myself to do was two-minutes. I began to realise that none of my exercise obstacles and excuses could get in the way of this little moment where I was, on the advice of my doctor, ‘putting my oxygen mask on first before assisting others’. And so every day, no matter what, when I’d say to myself that I didn’t have the time, that I was too tired, that it felt too hard, that I was too unfit…I’d say, just do two-minutes.
Exercise can often go to the bottom of our to-do lists. We’ve got deadlines, kids activities, housework and social lives to maintain. We can’t find that hour to go to the gym or can’t get out of the house to have a 30-minute run so we wait for tomorrow or the next day or the next to exercise. And when exercise feels like a chore or a punishment for eating a certain way, it can get even harder to convince ourselves to put on our sneakers and get moving.
When I look out to my yard and see my daughters jumping on our Springfree, moving their bodies in a way that makes them feel good, smiling, laughing, having so much fun, I am always reminded how important it is that I move my body in a way that puts a smile on my face too. To show my kids that as they get older, to keep moving for vitality and joy.
The workouts in this video series are designed to not only get you fitter, improve your core and strength plus give your body a much-needed stretch, but also to have you feeling really, really good. And all you need is two-minutes.
