My mom keeps interrupting my home workout sessions

She means well but always comes in to ask questions. How can I tell her I need focus time without being rude?

What if your mom is interrupting because she secretly wants to be part of your workout? She might see you doing something new and feel left out of your day. Try inviting her to stretch with you for just a few minutes before you start. Then clearly say you need the rest of the time alone to keep your energy up. This gives her a way to connect without ruining your focus. You set a kind boundary by including her first, so it feels less like rejection.

Including her first? That's just training her to interrupt more.

My mom does the same thing, lmao. I started telling her I'm in 'me time' mode and it kinda works.
