Fit Your Life

Hello! I have recently learned about an amazing community builder called Hike it Baby ! Hike it Baby is a new parents group in over 100 cities around the country dedicated to getting families together and out into nature with newborns and little ones. We have a wide variety of hikes and urban strolls and the best part is all of our hikes are FREE! Shortly after hearing about this community in Edmonton, I led my first Hike & HIIT!! We had an amazing turnout! I led 18 women and their littles through a 30-minute trail walk in the beautiful MacTaggart Sanctuary, followed by a 20-minute high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout for whoever wanted to stay! Some babies had fallen asleep, as we all "wore" our babies in various carriers, so there were modifications offered for these moms. Other moms did not feel like participating that day, which is completely fine! Some watched, or fed their littles while we worked out! We all enjoyed much fresh air, making new friends, a...

I am so very excited to be leading my first Hike It Baby hike tomorrow morning! I came across this group only a few weeks ago and LOVE the idea! There are branches throughout North America and volunteers lead groups of new parents through hikes in their own areas. It is a fantastic way for these new parents to connect and explore, all while enjoying the fresh air with their Little! I immediately wanted to plan my first lead hike, so here we are! For my first hike, I chose my favourite urban trail, MacTaggart Sanctuary. I will lead our group through a beautiful 30 minute trail walk with our Littles on our fronts or our backs, then for whoever can stay, a 20 minute HIIT workout! I will post the workout here soon for anyone who wants to know what we did!! See you there :) xox kellie

Throughout the summer, interest has grown for a bootcamp-style fitness class open to all women. As I contemplated how to integrate this into my schedule of Mom & Me Fit and Prenatal Fit classes, I started leading my nursing colleagues through sweaty workouts on Wednesday evenings and really enjoyed it! (it's fun...right ladies?!) We want to open this workout up to YOU! Yes, YOU! Join us for an awesome, fun, full body workout and support a cause that is near to our hearts!  If you did not know, I am also a Labour and Delivery nurse. For the majority of families, the day their baby or babies are born is the happiest day of their lives. We love being a part of this special day and celebrating with these families. Sadly however, some families must say good-bye too soon after bringing their sweet baby into this world. These are difficult days for all involved, including the nurses of these families. The Perinatal Bereavement Program at the Lois Hole Hospital for Wo...

Hello and happy Wednesday!! After reviewing your awesome feedback for the Fall schedule, I have decided to make some changes for the remainder of our Summer Session (August 11 - September 9)!  You asked for more Mom & Me options, so here they are! We are going to continue with one Prenatal Fit per week, but I am looking at opening a second in a different location for the next session.  Register here ! Space is limited in all classes. August 11 - September 9 Mom & Me Fit Mom & Me Fit is a fun and interactive class that will benefit you and baby!
