September 1km Challenge

September 1km Challenge - join us!

Many people fear September first because it means the return of routine, cooler weather, and shorter days. Although I can't do anything about the cooler weather (unless to help you get excited about ski season!!!) or the decreasing daylight, I can do my best to get you EXCITED about hopping back into a healthier routine! I think it is safe to say that most of us enjoy a few extra treats, a little less sleep, and perhaps less structured exercise during the summer months. September is the perfect time to hop back onto the fit bandwagon and create some new great habits!

Through our September 1km Challenge, we want to help you move every day! Your goal will be to walk, jog, or run for a minimum of one kilometre each day in September! That is 30km spread across one month.

Pretty amazing!

You do not need to live in Edmonton, or even have ever attended a Fit Your Life class. This Challenge is open to everyone around the globe. Let's get moving!

How it works:

Decide that you can totally achieve this!
Sign up for just $5 through MindBody here. Make an account if you do not already have one, go under Appointments, purchase the September 1km Challenge, and "book" into an open time slot - the time/date is not important.
Mark your calendar to start moving on Friday, September 1, 2017!
Let us know how you are getting your kilos in! There will be random "check-in" opportunities throughout the month, as we will not ask you to check-in daily. Some people want the accountability of verbalizing daily and others that would be a chore. The closed FB group (link below) will be the perfect place for those check-ins or use #fylchallenge on IG!

Throughout the challenge, we want to encourage and motivate you! The best ways to follow along and be accountable to yourself and the others participating will be though our closed Fit Moms' Chat Facebook group. Please join! ..and NO you do not need to be a mom to join. You can also follow along on Instagram @fityourlifeyeg and use the hashtag #fylchallenge and our public Facebook page here!

If you miss a day, you can make it up the following day by completing two kilometres. We encourage you to only do this a maximum of twice. Remember, it is only 1km per day and can be broken up into 4x250m, 2x500m, etc if needed!

Also!! What is a challenge without a little external and tangible motivation? That's right! There will be prizes!! So sign up now and let's make this an awesome month together!

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 ...

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 ...

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...
