‘As A Busy Working Mom, These 3 Tips Were The Secret To M...

What’s Happening

Alright so “Building strength has allowed me to unlock a totally new version of myself I didn’t know existed.

” As a physician, I’ve always understood the importance of health and wellness—but for years, my own well-being came second. My work schedule in the hospital was swamped, and as mother of two young children, any free time was devoted to them. (we’re not making this up)

My diet mainly consisted of processed food and grab-and-go snacks , and though I did the occasional cardio workout or bootcamp-style fitness class, nothing was ever consistent or sustainable.

The Details

I was constantly tired, had practically no muscle tone, and was struggling to lose postpartum weight. It wasn’t until 2024 when my 1-year-old daughter broke her leg that I realized something needed to change.

I barely had the strength to carry her with the added weight of the cast and had zero additional energy to play with my 3-year-old son and juggle my demanding job. I felt depleted, and at 37, I wasn’t living the way I wanted to.

Why This Matters

I knew I needed the structure and accountability of a coach. My friend introduced me to KMAK Fitness , an online training program that specializes in body recomposition through muscle growth and fat loss, with an emphasis on strength training and macro-based nutrition. She had gone through her own transformation with the help of a KMAK coach, and I was inspired , so I signed up for a consultation and connected with my coach George Pearce .

Medical professionals are taking note of this development.

Key Takeaways

• I was ready to put in the work, so I committed to virtually training three days a week.
• At first, I exclusively trained from home using dumbbells and free weights.
• I had little prior experience with weightlifting, so I kicked off out using light weights to get comfortable with movement patterns.

The Bottom Line

Each 30- to 45-minute session focused on full-body compound movements (exercises that target multiple muscle groups at once), and I learned the importance of proper form. For added movement throughout the day, I also aimed for 10,000 daily steps .
