Great Exercise Programs for Mums
As mums, our life is busy, chaotic and intense which makes it important to look into specific exercise programs for mums. Staying fit and healthy is important for everyone. It offers a great range of benefits including feeling healthier, being happier and sleeping better. While there are free exercise programs available; having a structured approach with guidance and help can motivate you along your fitness journey while achieving better results.
We have tried and tested a number of exercise programs for mums and feel that the following offer programs achievable for mums.

The meals offer insight and recipes to create healthy meals you may not have thought of. The shopping list features certainly helps simplifies life.
The Invisible Exercise program.
Developed by Dell-Maree Day, a leading biomechanics pioneer who has developed exercise rehabilitation program based on the principles and practices of the Pilates Method and its core stability model. The Invisible Exercise (T.I.E) teaches you how to tone and strengthen your body, become slimmer, reduce muscle pain through correcting your posture. The program:
- Shows you how to use all the 639 muscles inside your body correctly to achieve extraordinary muscle balance.
- The 10-week program takes you through 10 different “postures” that will realign your body.
- The postures are then rotated throughout the week as you do 20 minutes of the program each day.
- Whilst it may look like you’re not doing much, and that any exercise is “invisible”, in fact your body is burning serious calories as it stretches and retrains itself.
Cost $99 for a 10 week program. https://theinvisibleexercise.com.au/program/introduction-to-tie/
MD Says: I have never been able to commit to 20 minutes of exercise a day before this program. My body felt so much better, that I would get upset if I didn’t do my daily T.I.E. The course is easy for mums as it is quiet, so it can be done at night while children sleep. Dell-Marie’s voice also has a meditative and calming effect. Thanks to T.I.E my wrist stop hurting for the first time in over a year and my posture never felt better.
