I still remember the days I prayed for the things I have now

As I reflect on the amazing year that was 2015 and the many blessings it brought me and my family, I cannot celebrate with toasting to each and every one of you who helped me along the way! Your support, encouragement, hugs, and love did not go unnoticed and Fit Your Life's first year of successes would not be the same without you. Thank you!

In January 2015, Fit Your Life officially began by offering one prenatal and one postpartum fitness seminar as a way of testing the waters of interest for these types of fitness classes in Edmonton. I was humbled by the wonderful response and a short while later, my first Mom & Me Fit and Prenatal Fit classes were filling up! We moved Mom & Me Fit outdoors for the summer and although we had to duck under picnic shelters a few times, we were very lucky with the weather! Prenatal Fit has continued to be strong and Fit Your Life has had 15 babies born to clients of this class already! Amazing! In August and September, Fit Bootcamp | Sweat for a Cause raised $700 and much awareness for the Lois Hole Hospital for Women's Perinatal Bereavement Program to support families going through unbearable loss. We also teamed up with Fitset to offer a free Parent & Tot -style class as a part of their Fit for Fall campaign with Kingsway Mall! Fit Your Life's fall and winter sessions continued to evolve with growing demand as we found new locations and said farewell to outgrown spaces.

My heart is grateful for each of you who have trusted me to be a part of your fitness journey and I feel blessed to have met many amazing women this past year! As I look forward to 2016, I am excited for the possibilities, the plans, and to be continually inspired by you!

From every piece of me, thank you and happy new year! May 2016 bring you health, happiness, and many hugs!

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

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. ...
