The slow cooker is a magical appliance that cooks your delicious meals without much effort. Unlike traditional cooking, it doesn’t require you to stand by the stove for hours as it does most of the work by itself. If you’ve been meaning to get more active, here are three activities you can do while your slow cooker prepares food.

Go for a Walk

Once your slow cooker is set, nothing prevents you from going out and being active outside. Even a short walk will do wonders for your physical and mental health, so put on your sneakers and just go outside.

Play with Your Kids

It would be so easy to get a book and sit on the balcony or the backyard for a few hours, but try to use the time you gained by not being required to stir the meal every five minutes to get active with your kids. Run around with them and play without any plan, it will be good for both you and them.

My Sunday ritual and routine is this: we start slower (sleep until it feels right) then it’s a morning walk with teens & puppy, drop into buy a coffee; chai, hot choc @canvas_espresso_and_home then off up the hill to the organic markets to pick up special finds or grab a fresh sweet Japanese tofu stick treat. •Then it’s home to make Fit Mama oats/porridge SEE IGSTORY for PEAR 🍐 PORRIDGE-highlights or eggs on toast. Then we relax chatting in the sunshine catching up on our family gossip. Chores (today it’s clean the shed) and gym then the afternoon is spent here preparing for the week. Fit Mama muesli; proteins balls, Fit Mama vege mash and sometimes a sweet potato pie. •This prep time makes my week smooth. I do not have to worry or think about food it’s ready or it’s organised. This fact ensures overall family health and a stress free life around food. Today I’m sending you motivation to get sorted because it adds value to your week ahead – I promise ✨b.x #blivewear #fitmama #transformation #healthy #squat #hitt #motherhood #womensfitness #40plus #fitspo #motivation #homeexercise #foodie #homeworkout #author #trainer

Home Workout

When it comes to working out at home, many people believe they don’t have time to do it. Make it a habit to do a workout the first thing after you put the food in the slow cooker, and after you’re done, you can treat yourself to a nice bath.
