Life is a journey ...enjoy the ride!

What an incredible and busy few weeks for Fit Your Life!

The last four Wednesdays, I have thoroughly enjoyed leading nearly 50 ladies through Fit Bootcamp | Sweat for a Cause where we were raising funds and awareness for the Lois Hole Hospital for Women! Together, we had four heart pumping workouts and raised over $600! Amazing! How gorgeous are these women?!

I also took part in Fitset's Fit for Fall with Kingsway Mall last weekend! This was a free workout for new moms and dads to learn how to stay active, even while "wearing" their Little! There are still SIX free workouts being held through this Fit for Fall promotion. Check out the other dates here! Note: Fit Your Life's session was the only Mom & Me-style class, however, some other amazing studios in the city are being featured for this event!

Our Fall Session just over two weeks away and I am getting SO excited! By signing up for a pre-registered session, we will meet briefly before or after the first class to discuss your goals, perform some measurements, and get to know each other a little more. Clients who have already pre-registered, I will touch base with you soon about setting up your time!

We have two Mom & Me Fit classes running next session!

Monday at 9:30am, we have a Mom & Me Fit class being held at The Surf Studio (8708 51 Ave) and there are still a few spots open!

Wednesdays at 10am, we have a Mom & Me Fit at Whole Family Health, which is also FULL! However, one spot per week is open for drop-in!

Our Prenatal Fit on Monday evenings at Whole Family Health (6523 111 Street) is FULL! Again, there is always one drop-in spot left open, if you would like to try to the class out.

For the full Fall Session schedule and to register, please click here!

Fit Your Life only officially started in March 2015 and so far, ten of our Prenatal Fit clients have delivered eleven healthy babies!! Yes! Even one set of twins! I am thrilled that I had the opportunity to work with these incredible women through their pregnancies and now are coming back with their Littles in tow!

Hello! I am starting this post with a huge thank you!! Jamie and I are incredibly humbled by, and grateful for the beautiful messages we have received since opening up about our journeys through this pelvic health blog series. Amongst your notes, we have found joy in knowing that you are becoming more aware of the changes occurring within your body. Many of you have even sought assessment because of our journey and we could not be more proud of you for doing so. Truly! If you have not read our previous posts in the series, please check out Jamie’s first and second installments as we as my first that precedes this post! Also, I wanted to remind all of you that there are so many incredible women’s health physiotherapists in Edmonton and surrounding area. Jamie and I are both seeing Jillian Palmer, from Bounce Back Physical Therapy , because we had started to develop a professional relationship with her through referring clients. We appreciated her approach, and her proximity ...

Mom & Me Fit, Prenatal Fit, Family Fit, & Mom & Me Yoga in Edmonton!! Our new Fall 2017 Schedule is here!

The evening air is cooler, the sunrise is later, and it seems like we are all settling back into our routines. I love fall. I love the crisp breeze and wearing scarves. Even for those of us not in school or without little ones in school yet, the fall is still a great time to hit a reset button. Small changes in our daily routine can have huge impacts on our health and overall fitness goals. Wake up 15 minutes earlier each day to sneak in a quick sweat or stretch. Challenge yourself to test out one new healthy recipe weekly. Carry around a water bottle to make sure you are hydrated. Focus on your alignment throughout your work day or while playing with your little ones. Schedule a class or two to attend every week to make yourself accountable to others. These are just a few ideas, but the list is lengthy! How are you adding a little extra health to your daily life? A little does go a long way and remember, do not strive to be perfect. Strive to find a healthy balance ...

Deep core activation while recovering from a cesarean birth

Yes! It is true! We welcomed our sweet baby girl to the world earlier this month and have been in awe of her ever since. I will post about our birth experience and more about her very soon. In the meantime, I have been asked multiple times in the past few weeks about my transverse abdominis (TVA) or deep core activation techqniques; how I used these techniques throughout my pregnancy and how I am re-introducing them to my daily routine as my body heals from our cesarean birth. To begin, I did not know about these techniques when I was pregnant with Brooke, our oldest daughter, who was born in April 2014. I had a great recovery after her delivery (also cesarean), as I was cleared to begin upper body exercise with slow integration of lower body exercise at 4 weeks postpartum and cleared to begin core work and running at 6 weeks postpartum. I felt great! That being said, my core already feels so much stronger than it did at 2 weeks postpartum with Brooke. I already feel like mysel...
