Quick Workout For Busy Moms

Being a mom is a rewarding yet hard job. A study found that mothers will spend on average 27,250 hours in their lifetime shopping, cooking, and doing household chores - that equals 1,135 days of their lives!! 72% of moms with children over 1 year old work, and those moms with a full-time job will spend 13 hours a day between work and household chores. 

Things that keep mom busy:

• 7,300 diaper changes by baby's 2nd birthday
• 330 loads of laundry per year
• over 4,100 hours shopping in moms lifetime
• over 2,100 hours cooking, baking, and preparing breakfasts and lunches in moms life
• spending over 2,600 hours of moms life cleaning up after the kids
• driving kids to and from school and after-school activities for over 3,000 hours in moms life
• and don't forget when mom has a preschooler, they will require moms attention once every 4 minutes or 210 times/day!!
