New mom ... find your new workout tribe!

One word .. FIT4MOM !!

Fit4Mom has workouts for every stage of motherhood from being pregnant to wanting to get back that killer bod (or at least lose a few pounds and then some ;)  )

There is prenatal fitness classes called FIt4Baby ... studies have shown how beneficial it is to workout out while pregnant (with your doctors permission of course).  There classes are a great workout plus you get to meet other women on the same journey as you are.

After you have that cute bundle of joy, there is Stroller Strides or Stroller Barre.  Both classes enable you to bring your baby, both classes keep you and that baby moving so that they aren't stationary (and we moms know how babies like to feel movement) and it also incorporates singing and keeping your baby entertained while you get a fantastic workout.  Stroller Strides is more cardio and strength while Stroller Barre is more toning, posture and alignment.  Best part of class is that there are playgroups where the playgroup captain brings fun things for the kids and snacks for the kids and the moms!  There is also Mom's Night Out, where moms get together monthly at night, get to get dressed for a dinner one month, pedicure the next!  Where else can you find a community like this .. of moms that become friends and help you out when needed.  It's amazing!

If you are really serious about getting back into shape they have a moms only class called Body Back that also works in nutrition and keeps you accountable.  Classes meet twice a week  and there are a lot of before and after pictures of moms that really are getting their bodies back!


They also implemented a new class called Strides 360.  This class is neat, lots and lots of cardio with active resting strength.  It's great to mix it in with Stroller Barre or Body Back even Run Club.


Try it Mommas!  Click here to find your location.  Most locations do a trial, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain for trying it out.

Love your body, it's the only one you have.  Honor it by working out and having the intention to live a healthy life for you and your family.

How about that Disney race ....

Ah Disney ... The most magical place on the planet.  I have hundreds of memories from going to Disney as a child from ages 4 - 15, at least once a year, sometimes twice.  Easily about 20 times in my lifetime.  So having the chance to run into Magic Kingdom through Cinderella's castle, not to mention the amazing medals that you can get ... How can you turn that down??   After paying the bargain price of $350 to run a 10K and Half Marathon the training commenced (after I gave birth to an almost 10 pound baby!!). One thing I have to say about Disney, their packet pickup and actual event is that they are extremely organized.  After working with a local running company, and just participating in other races, no one has the organization or man power like Disney has.   If you can afford it, staying within Disney property is worth it.  They had specific transportation for the run to the expo and to the races itself.  You don't have to worry about parki...

Holidays .. dont' forget about YOU Mommy!!

The holidays are just around the corner ... so many things come to mind .. who is hosting, what do I make, my holiday list is how long again, and they want WHHAAT!!  UGH ... what about you Mommy, where are you on this list, where are you on the list of priorities?  My husband works pretty crazy hours, I have dubbed myself a "Single, not Single Parent" ... I don't have to worry about how to pay the bills and keep a roof over my family's head, but I do have to make sure my girls are well taken care of.  Thankfully my village of sanity includes my awesome parents that give me a hand pretty often.  I digress ... so how do I find time for myself? Number 1 - Exercise - Yes!  Love me some FIT4MOM, but right now with my 3 year old's schedule, I can't make any classes .. so my second LOVE of exercise life .. Burn Boot Camp.  Membership comes with childcare and thankfully my 3 year old loves it in there and runs in with excitement to play with the different toys....

It's been a long time....

It's been a long long long time since my last post .... So what's new??? New baby ... check New daily routine that I am still not accustomed to ... check Wanting to run to lose the baby chub ... check So good news ... I have been able to run due in main part to my awesome parents who watch my daughters!  I did the Glass Slipper Challenge down in Walt Disney World ... that in itself is a blog post on it's own. Signed up for the inaugural Naperville Women's Half Marathon in a month, I'm excited for that.  I also signed up for the Chicago Marathon ... first marathon folks... am I reaching too high?  I hope not, between my Ironman husband and if I get into the race, my schedule will be insane.  Bring the challenge  :)
