FULL BODY ENDURANCE TRAINING. 💪

And it’s not for the faint of heart.

But look at you- you’re rocking it!

Motherhood ain’t easy but believe me, you’re not the only one struggling!

Show some solidarity and send this on to a friend who knows the struggle is real! 👊

Out with old and in with the new!

Before I had kids spending hours at the gym or going to a yoga class was easy.

So when I became a mom and I was responsible for other little humans- and working around their schedule, it felt incredibly overwhelming to find ways to make movement fit my new life.

But when I stopped focusing on how things used to look and instead embraced my new life, I could finally see new opportunities and create a movement routine that actually fit this new life of mine.

✨I was finally able to get into a consistent groove.
✨I felt calmer and way less stressed.
✨I started feeling stronger and having less pain.

What do you need to let go of- and what do you need to embrace to create a sustainable and consistent exercise routine?

Hands up if the idea of early morning workouts makes you want to cry. 🙋‍♀️

Let’s get real—early mornings don’t work for everyone, and that’s OK. So here’s the deal:

1️⃣ Sleep comes first.

Quality sleep is non-negotiable for both your mental and physical health. If you’re already running on empty, squeezing in extra rest so you can feel human (and deal with alllll the things) should be the priority.

2️⃣ There’s more than one way to fit in movement.

Dragging yourself out of bed at dawn isn’t the only option for staying active. Here are a few of my favourite mom-tested time slots for working out that don’t require sacrificing your sleep:

💡 POST BREAKFAST
:
If your kiddos are early risers, make the most of those early hours. They’re fed, they’re happy (for now), and you’ve got a pocket of time to pull out your mat. Bonus points if your partner is around and can be on kid duty.

💡 NAP TIME:

Your baby’s most reliable nap is golden. Resist the urge to clean or do laundry—those chores can wait until after you’ve moved your body. Trust me, you’ll feel so much better!

💡 BEFORE DINNER:
If you’ve got older kids in school or daycare, this can be a sweet spot. Let them unwind with some screen time or independent play while you squeeze in a quick workout. Extra credit if you’ve prepped dinner ahead or have a crockpot meal ready to go!

💡 WEEKENDS:

Take advantage of the slower pace on weekends and the extra support of your partner and block off some time for yourself without the weekday chaos.

💡 THROUGHOUT THE DAY:

If you’re home with your littles all day, workouts might feel impossible—but hear me out. Start small, be okay with interruptions, and roll with it. Over time, they’ll get used to it, and the novelty will fade.

What’s your favorite time slot to work out? Or if you’re still searching, let me know which one of these feels doable!

Remember, the best workout is the one you can actually do. 💪 Let’s find your groove together!

In those early days postpartum, EVERYTHING felt so

In those early days postpartum, EVERYTHING felt sore and stiff.

And my pelvic floor? Non-existent.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a lot of guidance around introducing gentle and safe movement in those first 6 weeks. And I had to just deal with the pain and discomfort until I was “cleared” for exercise.

Now, I know there are so many things we can do in those early days that not only help us feel better but also PROMOTE healing and assist with recovery!

And I’m so happy to be able to share this info with new moms so they don’t feel frustrated and overwhelmed, like I did.

A few of the first things to focus on postpartum are:

✨ Releasing tension around the mid-back to support core function.

✨ Tending to sore, tight muscles around your hips and pelvis to reduce pressure on your pelvic floor.  
✨ Gently reconnecting to your core and pelvic floor muscles to feel more supported through everyday movements.

If your body is calling out for some love, I got you!

The reminder I DEFINITELY needed- and maybe you do

The reminder I DEFINITELY needed- and maybe you do too.

IT’S OKAY TO GO SLOW.

In fact, not only is ok but in the long run, it’s actually more sustainable…AND more enjoyable.

Going slow hasn’t ever come naturally to me. So it’s no wonder I’ve tended to push myself to the point of burn out and get frustrated by my lack of “progress”.

Does this resonate with you?

Maybe you’ve jumped back on the Exercise Train and decided you needed to go all in, only to end up overcommitting and feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.

Slowing down, having some grace for ourselves and accepting that this all a process is really where the magic happens.

I’d love to hear how you’re feeling as we head into a new year. Share your thoughts in the poll below.

Want to feel inspired and motivated to move your body this year?!?

SPOILER ALERT: The “30-Day Fat Blaster” and “Lose Your FUPA” Challenges (yes, this is a real thing! 😩) aren’t the answer!

Movement doesn’t need to be about punishment or chasing an unrealistic goal. It’s a powerful tool that can change the way you FEEL in your body.

✨ MORE ENERGIZED
✨ LESS PAIN AND DISCOMFORT
✨ ABLE TO MOVE WITH EASE + CONFIDENCE
✨ LESS STRESSED AND CALMER

Here are 5 movement goals to help you reconnect with exercise, feel GOOD in your body, and rediscover what movement is all about—because you deserve better than gimmicks and guilt. 🙌

Let me know your non-weight loss focused goals below! 👇

This is your sign to move your body!

When stress and overwhelm hit, I used to try and push through. But let me tell you- that never ends well.

Movement has been a go-to for me as a parent, especially at times when I just can’t stop the spiralling thoughts.

Here are some of my go-to movements for when your on the edge of burn out and life feels overwhelming.

👉 walking to clear my head
👉restorative poses to calm my nervous system
👉Massage balls for quick relief
👉Lifting weights to feel grounded and supported
👉Core exercises to focus and reset

I know how heavy the mental load can feel. And if you’re looking for support and solidarity, you’ve found the right place.

I’d love to hear your go-to strategy for dealing with stress and overwhelm. Share below!

Look familiar?!?

Everything is SO MUCH MORE exciting when mom’s using it!

Hang in there mama- you’re doing AMAZING! And remember, even a few minutes of movement counts! 🙌

Share this with a mom who deserves a high five for pushing through the chaos and making it happen anyway!
