Fit Your Life

Did you know more than 70% of women are wearing the wrong size of bra??? I’ll give you a minute to digest that number…70%!  And here’s another fun fact for you, Brooks’ research found that 25% of women don’t work out the way that they would like to because of breast bounce.   Crazy right ?! But wait ladies! You can be a woman who has fully supported breasts.  One who never worries about breast bounce during workouts.    You can give it your all, doing the movement you love and want to do, without experiencing pain or discomfort or ever having fear that your breasts will become saggy from lack of support – YES! That is a thing.    You might be asking yourself, how? How do I find out about proper fitting sports bras and what to look for when shopping?    How do I know if my sports bra is fitting correctly?    I have compiled all of the information you will need to know to answer these very important ques...

Becoming a Mom; it is one of the most beautiful, difficult, life altering experiences we can go through as women. It can be a paradoxical existence of the highest of highs and lowest of lows, often simultaneously. Sometimes the lows can become very low. Sometimes feelings of sadness and fear can become so big they begin to obscure the joy and the beauty of motherhood. This became my reality following the birth of my sweet second baby. After the birth of my first, there had been moments of anxiety and sadness, but my second was different. I began having panic attacks frequently, and feared being home alone with my kids. Around the three-month post partum mark I began having terrifying intrusive thoughts. These thoughts were like short movies playing in my head, and most often centered on harming either my children or myself. I was shocked that I could ever think such things. I fought these thoughts with every fiber of my being, but fear that I would somehow lose control began to ...

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: De...
