If you’re all about getting your #fitmommy self on, check out these Instagrammers who inspire physical fitness… while working out with their kids.

1. @shakira.akabusi: Not only is she a pre- and postnatal fitness expert, but this Insta-mom shows that workouts don’t just happen at the gym (especially when the littles are tagging along). She works out outside, at the playground, and even with her cute kiddo cuddling up around her.

3. @kerispilatesroom: This mommy of two shows us all that you don’t have to leave the kids with a sitter to get in a workout. Use that crazy kid energy to your advantage and do what this Pilates and yoga-loving mama does — get them in on the pose with you!

These leaves in my backyard just turned this fantastic color over the weekend and I am not upset about it! I am, however a little upset at myself for being a total slacker both days🙋🏼. But, Monday’s are the best reset button and I got right back into it with some strength training at the gym and 3 miles along the river on this beautiful fall day! We just won’t talk about how I refueled with like a pound of candy corn...‘‘tis the season right?!? #itscalledbalance #fallismyfavorite #fallrunning #runday #runhappy #rungrateful #nevermissamonday #mondayrunday #motherrunner #keepingitreal #runnergirl

A post shared by Mary Helen Bowers (@balletbeautiful) on Dec 24, 2017 at 3:31pm PST

5. @balletbeautiful: Physical fitness doesn’t always equal hours of weights and cardio at the gym. Mary Helen Bowers, a ballerina and mom, shows a totally different side of getting active. Whether she’s outside whirling around with her children or inside and on pointe (and pregnant!), Bowers is awesomely inspirational.

I started @baby_fitgym when Tucker was a baby because when we worked out together he was so dang cute and did everything with me. Always listened always smiling! So easy! Even to this day Tucker always does my workouts with me. His favorite is ladders!! We've been working on our footwork!! Fast forward to baby Tate....... COMPLETE OPPOSITE. Anything I want him to do he does the opposite. It's so hard to get him to cooperate 😂 watch till the end... He knows how to do ladders but instead he drags my backpack onto our path then just dips out. What the heck 😂😂😂 I'm in for trouble with this one!! Do you guys have kids that are polar opposites??? Crazy how different personalities can be!

6. @baby_fitgym: Mama to two, Kristy Ardo, started Baby Fit Gym when her son was a baby. Why? Well, because the two always worked out together. Years later her kiddos still get active with her, turning workouts into a family affair.

Mikey totally nailed our last #MommyMikeyandtheBump yoga pose 😂 Hours after this was taken Levi joined us... My intention now (or at some point) is to recreate this series with both my boys! ☺️ . My warmest heartfelt thank you to each of you for your love and support and wishes... I know I have quite a few messages to respond to but I promise I will! . Not going to lie coming home and adjusting and healing has been really hard. We're struggling with breastfeeding and emotions. The tears just seems to keep on flowing at random... And I'm trying my hardest not to beat myself up but this is motherhood and I'm constantly being reminded how truly blessed I am. Hoping to find the strength and energy soon enough to pick up my camera to start some baby toddler spaming! ☺️ For now happy happy Friday my beautiful insta-family! ❤️ . #39weekspregnant and 4 days . . #dearestviewfinder #themommydiary #clickinmoms #soulfocusinspired #babiesofig #humansofjoy #honestmotherhood #momlife #lightinspired #jj_kids #jj_its_kids #treasuringlittlememories #ig_kids #igers_kids #thepursuitofjoyproject #childreningram #MagicOfChildhood #ourchildrenphoto #simplejoys #tv_pointofview #expofilm #kidsmood #lightslove #stunning_shots #magic #bicfp #childhoodeveryday
