I don't have time for that

You don't have to do it all, just start with what matters

I get it.

We live wildly busy lives. Most days, it feels like we’re just trying to keep up. Between work, relationships, kids, and everything else we’re carrying, finding time for ourselves feels impossible.

So when someone tells you to “make time” for movement or breathwork or anything else, it’s easy to roll your eyes.

But what if the problem isn’t time? What if it’s how we’ve been taught to value it?

Think about it. We make time to brush our teeth, to eat, to scroll. In school, there’s physical education, but it’s treated like a break, not a priority. Yet our bodies are with us all day, every day. They carry us through everything. Isn’t it wild how little we’re taught about how to actually care for them?

So no, this isn’t about adding more to your to-do list. It’s about choosing to value the things that actually support you. It’s about moving through life with intention, instead of defaulting to habits that leave you depleted.

I work with some of the busiest people you can imagine. Moms of three, CEOs, doctors, producers. And yet they show up for themselves. Not because they have extra time but because they’ve learned the cost of not taking care of themselves is far higher. They understand that how they feel matters. That strength, mobility, and alignment don’t just happen. They’re built. And when they are, your life changes.

Now, as a new mom, business owner, and partner, I understand this more than ever. I don’t have time for everything I want to do. So I had to learn how to cut the noise and focus on what moves the needle.

That means:

• Putting music on and rolling out instead of scrolling to “relax”

• Breathing with intention while I nurse instead of zoning out

• Stretching while I watch a show instead of checking my phone for the 40th time

• Choosing silence, even if it’s uncomfortable, because it actually resets me

When it comes to movement, it’s not just about doing something. It’s about doing it well.

You could do 100 clamshells and feel nothing. Or you could do 10 intentionally and activate the muscles that support your spine, improve your posture, and help you move through life with ease. The quality matters just as much as the consistency.

That’s why I created RMTV. These are short, effective classes you can actually do at home. Classes that build strength, connection, and awareness. Nothing wasted. Just smart, supportive movement that teaches your body how to feel strong again.

Need a place to start? Try this 20-minute glute class. It’s short, intentional, and will leave your glutes stronger, your hips more supported, and your low back feeling better. You’ll feel the difference right away and even more over time.

And I’m beyond excited about my prenatal and postnatal program because I lived it. Even after over a decade of teaching moms-to-be, I was shocked by how hard pregnancy was on my body. Carrying an extra 20 pounds mostly in my belly took a real toll. I was exhausted. I’d curl up in a ball and cry before filming some days. But the consistency kept me strong and kept me feeling good.

And after birth? I was strong enough to take care of my baby while my body healed. But still, the physicality of new motherhood shocked me. It was easy to lose track of time and to stop taking care of myself. And when I stopped, I could feel myself disconnecting.

What brought me back? Small moments. Hypopressive breathing. Five minutes of core work here and there. And the difference was real. My pressure system shifted. My pelvic floor began to release and strengthen. My core started to engage again, not just during workouts but throughout my day. My stomach lifted instead of pressing down and out. And honestly? Watching my body slowly come back to me felt wonderful.

The look of a lower belly and the sensation of heaviness can be incredibly discouraging. But when you start to feel that internal lift, that strength, that reconnection, it changes everything.

It’s easy to put this stuff off.“I’ll start next week”“I’ll deal with my pelvic floor later”“I’ll get back to movement when I have more time”

But what happens when “later” turns into “never”?

One day you trip and realize you don’t have the balance to catch yourself. One day your back hurts from lifting your toddler and you wonder how long it’s been since you’ve felt strong in your own body. The longer you wait, the harder it is to come back. The more you suffer in silence. The more foreign your body starts to feel.

So start small. Attach movement to what you’re already doing:• A 20-minute class after your two glasses of water in the morning (with a sprinkle of salt on your tongue to help your body actually absorb it)• Back breathing before lunch• 20 squats after dinner

Check in after. How do you feel?

Because how you feel, really feel, should hold more value in your life.

Five minutes of something real will always beat thirty minutes of something mindless.Five minutes of intention every day can change everything.

We don’t need to be perfect. We just need to start.

You are worth the time.

With Love,

Regan
