The Real Barriers to Exercise for Mums (And What Actually Helps).

In this episode, I talk about the real barriers that stop many mums from exercising and why it’s usually not a motivation problem.From time pressures and childcare to exhaustion, confidence, and simply not knowing where to start, motherhood brings very real challenges when it comes to prioritising your own health.We look at why exercise can feel overwhelming after having children, the mental load many mums carry, and how unrealistic fitness expectations often make things harder rather than easier.I also share what actually helps women begin moving again in a way that works in real life — starting small, building confidence with simple movements, and creating routines that fit around busy family life rather than fighting against it.If exercise has felt out of reach since becoming a mum, this episode is an honest look at why that happens and how to start finding your way back.Come and say “hi” on Instagram @claire.coachingkingsI’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode!If you’re ready to stop running on empty, join STRONGER and get 50% off your first month with the code PODCAST50.STRONGER gives you personalised programming and support without the hefty price tag,  just £22.50 for your first month (£45 per month thereafter) for tailored training and guidance.Tap the link in the show notes and let’s make the next 6 months completely different from the last:https://mailchi.mp/thecoachingkings/stronger-sign-up-page
