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:

  1. Decide that you can totally achieve this!
  2. Sign up for just $5 through MindBody hereMake 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.
  3. Mark your calendar to start moving on Friday, September 1, 2017!
  4. 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!

How to stay fit during cold winter months

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

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. ...
