This is not good-bye, it's see you soon!

By
Last week was wonderful! It was busy, full, emotional, fun, and so very lovely. We had our four final sweaty Fit Your Life classes of 2016 filled with motivated women and celebrated the beginning of my "mini maternity leave" or "sabbatical" (as Keith is calling it) with a BBQ in our backyard for whomever of them could make it! Our yard has never held so many Moms, Dads, and Littles! We loved every minute of it! 

Thank you to each of you who have joined us along this journey! It has been the most incredible adventure I could imagine and I am grateful for you everyday. Without you, my lovely "clients", this dream would not be a reality. You have created this wonderful community of supportive and inspiring Mamas! Pushing yourselves and each other to be the best that you can be in this extremely special time of our lives. I cannot wait to continue to get to know each of you better during my leave and upon my return to classes!

To Keith, my rock and my love, without your support and encouragement, Fit Your Life would still be "just" a blog and these prenatal and postpartum fitness classes, along with the community that has been created, would be nothing but a wish in my heart. You are my sounding board and my bookkeeper. I literally could not do this without you. I love you more each day. 

To my sweet Brooke, you are my best inspiration. I want to be the healthiest and happiest version of  myself to be able to be the best Mommy to you and your new little sister. Your smile lights up a room and your energy keeps me going. I love teaching with you by my side and I love seeing the friends you have made in our classes! Your genuine caring heart makes mine melt when you sprint over to a crying baby to rock their bucket seat or place their soother back in their mouths. Thank you for being you!

To our beautiful daughter-to-be, as we excitedly wait your arrival, I cannot help but be so grateful for you allowing me to continue to teach classes until nearly 35 weeks pregnant. I have felt so great moving my body throughout this pregnancy as you continue to grow as you are supposed to. Thank you for being a part of this journey literally your entire life. I love you already!


Now... here are a few images from Fit Your Life's final week of 2016!

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. Winter hiking, cross-country skiing, skating, downhill skiing, and snowshoeing are great ex...

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. ...

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.

We appreciated her approach, and her proximity ...
