At this point, the days of going to the gym 5-6 times a week are not feasible for me but I’ve been doing workout videos and have gotten back to trying to master a certain arm workout I have been on a quest to master! It’s called 30-20-10 and involves doing 30 tricep dips followed by 30 push ups (on knees for now), then 20 and 20, followed by 10 and 10. I did manage to do them all … Continue reading

Reality Check, Holy Crap!
Amanda DeGrace in Fitness Blogaholic, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics - 2 comments - posted on Feb 10th, 2011Yep, baby boy will be 9 months on Valentines Day. I had this notion that I would be back in the swing of my fitness routine, training all my clients again with a busy schedule and still fitting in my own workouts when I was 3 months postpartum. The idea of taking on a lot of clients again and working out daily was thrown out the window as I walked around my house like a zombie each day from not sleeping the night before. I thought I would be back in to my pre-pregnancy clothes already. I am SOOOO not … Continue reading

sports drinks or sugar water?
Dara (Fit Family) in Been Around the Blog, Fitness Blogaholic, For the love of food - 0 comments - posted on Nov 5th, 2010Most of my clients drink water during our sessions. I have one client who sees me at 6:30 a.m. (yes… I start work at 6:30 a.m…aren’t you glad you’re not a personal trainer?) and she usually starts her day with a half-cranberry-half-water with a scoop of fibre supplement. Another client always has a jug of water and a half cup of black coffee for sipping. Everyone is different! Me? Personally, I’m a water gal. Cold. And lots of it. Sometimes, in Belly Bootcamp classes, a tired mommy lacking that “zip” we all used to have before night feedings and temper … Continue reading
