Reality Check: It may not be the most traditional workout, but anything that gets you moving is a plus. Simpson recommends though that a busy mom like Adams try “smart snacking” to keep her energy up. “Look for whole grain crackers with nut butter (almond, peanut or cashew). Or go for all-natural protein/energy bars. Make sure they have between 10 to 15 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat and 20 grams of carbs.”
