K2 Morning Burn!

By
Hello followers!! 

It has been WAY too long since I have added a workout, or any kind of post for that matter. Keith & I had an amazing three week trip to Greece & Italy and life has been a whirlwind since coming home!





While we were on vacation, we tried many different, delicious foods, and enjoyed the local wines & beers available! We also did not let our fitness regime get away from us! We walked pretty much everywhere and loved to bodysurf during our beach days, but also made sure to get in some good and sweaty workouts in our hotel room to start our day! 





Here is one of our Greece-inspired workouts we enjoyed while away!





K2 Morning Burn
This workout is 12 minutes total - 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest x4 sets of each exercise
1) Snowboarders 

- start flat on tummy. Push up to your feet (one foot forward) and jump into the   air. Return to tummy. With next rep - other food forward

2) Bicycles

- on your back with bent knees and hands touching ears. Alternate opposite elbow to opposite knee contracting abs with each movement

3) Push-ups

 - from knees or toes. Push yourself to complete as many as you can!

4) Crunches

- start on your back with knees bent. Crunch up using upper abdominals

5) Triceps Dips

- using small table, bench, chair - have body extended with supporting hands. Bend elbows to lower body towards ground

6) Burpies!

 - my favorite! Get in as many as possible!





I will hopefully blog another soon! Keith & I have been trying new and healthy recipes since coming home! Stay posted!


Enjoy!

How to stay fit during cold winter months

By
With the cold winter months approaching, the thought of staying active and keeping fit can be daunting. The good news is that just because we live in a country that has beautifully snowy winters, it does not mean that our health journey needs to suffer.  Why wait until January first for a New Year’s resolution? Start today with these winter active tips! 1)  Try a new fitness class! This can be the perfect way to learn new exercises in a warm environment. There are many boutique studios in Edmonton that offer a fun variety of workouts: The Surf Studio , SpinUnity , Barre Body Studio , Sculpt Barre , Bliss YogaSpa , YogaLife Studios , and of course, Fit Your Life to name a few. Also check out Fitset , which allows you to workout all over the city for one monthly membership!  2) Get outside! There are so many options to get sweaty while enjoying the fresh air.

Pelvic Health Series: Our journey to regaining strength, alignment, and function Kellie - part 1

By
photo by Roughley Originals Every single one of us is different. One of the most amazing aspects of my job is to witness the vast differences between each pregnant body as they exercise and how their body transforms postpartum. Most women will have similarities between their own pregnancies and births. Many women can even find a few similarities with other women as they discuss their stories. I think you would be hard pressed to find two stories more similar than mine and Jamie’s are, which is truly incredible, as we have only known each other for 18 months. That being said, they are not identical stories and for that reason I will also be sharing my story of regaining strength, alignment, and function through the help, expertise, and guidance of a pelvic health physical therapist. photo by Roughley Originals After one miscarriage, my husband and I went on to have two healthy pregnancies. Our oldest daughter Brooke was born by urgent cesarean section in April 2014. ...
