Hey there, parents! As we kick off this new year, many of us are trying to shake off those extra holiday pounds. But let’s be real, it’s a challenge when you’re a parent! Any attempt at exercise is constantly interrupted by little ones craving attention, and trying to eat healthy often means dealing with half-eaten plates of chicken nuggets and mac ‘n’ cheese. We’re already running on fumes, yet somehow we’re expected to hit the gym five times a week? Parents are set up for failure, and no one knows this struggle better than the witty folks on Twitter.
- Seriously. As I age, my ability to avoid exercise while chasing toddlers is truly impressive. By 40, I’ll be a size two at this rate.
- *Crunches chips* These kiddos never stop moving and will mistake your fitness tracker for a fancy bracelet – genius plan, right?
- Why didn’t we come up with this sooner? That ball sitting in the corner? It just mocks you for not doing those core workouts. Might as well have some fun with it at your child’s expense.
- Shh, it’s heavy. Oh, you don’t get out of breath hauling laundry upstairs? Well, aren’t you the fitness guru!
- Eye roll. If you choose the gym over eating an entire tray of brownies during your “me time,” I’m not sure we can be friends.
- So helpful. Having a ring of tiny spectators pinching your back fat while you sweat? Not exactly motivating.
- Stealth mode engaged. This totally counts as a workout. The stress alone is a calorie burner!
- Wrap it up! Nothing is worse than a naked kid giving you a lecture on Pokémon while you’re trying to stretch.
- Diets are tough. But hey, we’ve got to get in those carbs, right?
- Truth bomb. Just squeeze your glutes while bending down to pick up wrappers and voila! A workout is achieved.
- Putting on socks is a workout. Even at my fittest, socks were the nemesis of cardio.
- Torture. Think your hardcore trainer at the gym is tough? Try keeping up with preschoolers.
- Is it 1000 yet? Cute workout gear definitely boosts calorie burn. It’s science!
- Foolproof plan. When you only get leftovers, you’re bound to lose a few pounds. Just grin and bear the backwash.
- Check it off the list. Bonus if you swing your arms a little while holding in your tummy.
- My kind of workout. Every little bit counts! Consume 3000 calories, burn 300. Simple math.
- Sounds about right. Pretty sure my fitness tracker has been lost under the car seats since last February. Sigh…
- They never give up! Add in a few sit-ups and you’ve got a full-body workout. Cardio, strength, and core – what a combo!
- Quiet down, kid. They have no idea about your struggles. Trying to win that office step contest is the highlight of your day.
- An actual obstacle course. Good luck out there, fellow parents!
