This summer, I’ve been spending a lot of time in Cape Cod away from my favorite studios and gym. I’ve really fallen in love with quick challenging workouts that I can do while Tommy is sleeping. I can’t believe the changes I’ve seen in my body with just 3 30-minute high intensity strength/cardio workouts a […]
Since becoming a mom, lots of things have gotten shorter in time. Trips to the grocery store, showers, sleep at night, dinner and meal prep. It’s funny how my workouts used to be an hour long and now I’m happy to get 30 minutes. Part of my workout inspiration is honestly working off the summer […]
Leaving your baby for the first time is HARD. The second time, you’re excited about sleeping but dreading the pumping game if still breastfeeding. You know how much of a pain it is when traveling. I was presented with a really cool opportunity to work with a brand I love in Los Angeles this week. […]
I found another fitness class in Boston where you can bring your baby with you a couple weeks ago. Reader Erica told me about a class held at the Healthworks Back Bay location and it took me 4 months to finally make it! Using my ClassPass membership, I booked a spot for the Wednesday class […]
The first six weeks after Tommy was born, I really had zero motivation to workout. I never thought I would enjoy the time off so much. As soon as I got back into the swing of things though, I remembered why I I love exercise. It just makes you feel accomplished and more energetic, especially […]
This past weekend, I was able to run 8.5 miles on Saturday. This was a huge accomplishment and also accidental. GNC has been supporting my half marathon training and it’s paying off. I wanted to run between 7 and 8 miles but took a longer loop and had to run an extra half mile. This […]
I took your advice on running while breastfeeding and it paid off! On Saturday, I successfully ran 4.5 miles pain free. Here is what I did: I fed Tommy when I first woke up and then pumped afterwards what was left. I put on my new Juno bra from Moving Comfort. This wasn’t sent to […]
When it comes to working out during your third trimester, while safe, you may simply be too uncomfortable. Luckily since I was active throughout, I could continue a modified fitness routine to the end. My last workout was an interval treadmill routine alternating between inclines at 3 mph. My second to last workout was a […]
Baby is more or less fully cooked at this point. Some doctors consider your baby full term at 37 weeks, others at 39. Wednesday marks my 37 week change over date and it’s very weird to think that I am currently 9+ months pregnant! Baby Update Well, no guessing here, we had an ultrasound last […]
I was chatting with a girlfriend of mine on the phone on my way to spin class the other day and she goes, “Do you have to do that?” I told her no, but I really liked eating cookies during pregnancy and I felt like the two offset each other. I love group exercise classes […]
