    Outdoor Workout

    January 22, 2020 /

    I get really bored of the same old workout routine. I need variety in order to stay on track with my health and fitness goals. Taking your workout outdoors can be just the spice (no I’m not talking pumpkin spice lattes here) you need to stay motivated! Today I bundled myself and my baby up for a fall workout in the park. Check out my workout routine below (the baby is optional company). Warmup: 5min brisk walk or slow jog Workout: Jog or brisk walk for approximately 5mins 30 Jumping jacks Jog or brisk walk – 5mins 20 Step ups on a flat rock 10 inclined pushups on rock 10…

    10 Ways To Stay Active Without Going to the Gym

    September 9, 2019 /

    I like the gym, don’t get me wrong, but I also love variety. Here are some of my favourite activities to stay fit! 1. Kayaking! Anyone who loves the great outdoors, this one’s for you. You can explore some really amazing lakes and rivers, and the ocean from a kayak. There are affordable kayaks you can buy, and many places rent kayaks and even provide a brief lesson and tours. This is one of my favourite upper body and core exercises. Kayaking is great for all fitness levels as you can paddle as fast or slow as you want. You can go for a long paddle or take many breaks.…

    June 4, 2019 /

    Weight training can be a little daunting if you haven’t done it before. There is so much equipment many people don’t know how to use, and many people have no clue how to select the right weight to maximize their workouts.

    How to Fit Into Your Pre-Pregnancy Skinny Jeans Quickly!

    May 16, 2019 /

    15 weeks ago I gave birth to my fourth baby! What I am most excited about isn’t the 4 month sleep regression phase, it’s the fact that yesterday, I put on my pre-pregnancy goal jeans and THEY FIT! To be honest, I was dreading it. I figured I’d squeeze my legs in and come nowhere close to zipping them, but after stepping up my workout game and clean eating I saw results fast. Here’s exactly how I did it: Right after baby, I started going for walks. I am nursing, which made me incredibly hungry at first. So I tried to eat many small healthy meals a day. I didn’t…

    Getting Active After Baby

    March 13, 2019 /

    Motherhood is an amazing journey from that first pink line on your pregnancy test all the way to the first steps. Each moment is absolutely incredible! Who am I kidding, being a momma is hard. Our bodies, moods, and schedules change. I am not denying that throughout all of the chaos there are magical moments that make it all worth it, but I think Mommas deserve a huge round of applause for bringing a little human into the world and caring for that wee one while they find their new normals. One aspect of this change many of us struggle with is losing baby weight. I’m not going to lie,…
