Max Collins shares struggles in finding time to take care of herself as a new mom

Max Collins admitted it's not easy being a new mom, as she shared her struggles in finding time taking care of herself.

Sharing a video of herself doing pilates at home, Max said  "I’m not going to sugar coat it. Being a new mom is so hard! And it’s even harder to find time to take care of myself," she said.

But Max says she tries "to remind myself that if I don’t, I won’t be the best mom I can be for Skye."

Max said "physical health is just as important as mental health. Our minds and bodies are connected right?!"

According to Max, she's sharing her "postpartum journey is because it somehow holds me accountable."

Max said doing Pilates is one of the things how she's doing to cope as a new mother.

"I love Pilates and I feel so good after each workout, so I’m glad I can somehow find time to fit a class in once in awhile," she said.

"It’s the little things that make me happy and working out it one of them," she ended her note.

Max gave birth to Baby Skye last July 6. He is her first child with husband Pancho Magno.

Max did a water birth at home after admitting that she was anxious to give birth in the hospital, amid the pandemic. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
