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 2

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 ...

Adventuring with Onya

“I have loved her, my little wanderer, with a mind full of wild forests and eyes that await adventures.” - Conny Cernik As an active mom, my girls have both spent a lot of time in a baby carrier. With our first daughter, Brooke (now three years old), we used a soft structured carrier (SSC) often for neighborhood walks, grocery shopping, adventures in the mountains, airplanes, and occasionally tasks around the house. When Mikah (now 10 months old) came along, the carrier became an extremely important part of my life! With a busy toddler to play with, snacks and meals to prepare, a house to [attempt to] keep clean and tidy, and a Little who wanted lots of snuggles (as newborns should!) “baby wearing” as it is called became part of my daily life. I am fortunate to have two girls who enjoy being “worn”, as it makes “mom life” easier with access to both hands and also makes adventuring a ton of fun! Finding a baby carrier that works for your body and that is equally comfor...

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 ...
