This busy mom works out up to 7 times a week. | Inq_Lifestyle turbochicken

Pearl Managuelod is a busy, busy woman.

But she’s never too busy to work out. “It shouldn’t be optional or something we only do when we have the luxury of time. We need to make time for it. It should be as essential as breathing, eating and sleeping.“ My workouts are normally an hour. A typical week would look like this: Sundays are for long, slow distance. Then Mondays are for recovery so I either do yoga, take longer walks or just go in the pool or Jacuzzi to relax. Tuesdays-Thursdays-Satursdays, weight training; Wednesdays and Saturdays, bike and swim; Friday, running; and then Sundays, bike and run. I walk at least 2 klometers a day, which is convenient because I have to take my dogs out.

What’s off-limits: Nothing, really. I eat pretty much everything but in moderation. I’m particular with the nutrition labels of the products I buy. So, low in sugar, low in sodium, no ingredients I can’t pronounce. I follow a very simple rule with nutrition: Eat what you expend. Meaning, match your caloric intake with your level of activity for the day.Do you have cheat days? Yes! I live for cheat days. It’s once a week, usually on a Friday when my kids have their pizza movie night, or Saturday.
