Stay hydrated today, mommies!

There are so many benefits to drinking water from flushing out toxins, improving skin's complexion to even supporting weight loss - so cheers to the weekend!

With exercise aside, even minor parenting tasks like carrying your diaper bag and running after your toddler can make your body stiff and achy. For this reason, the advantages of stretching range from improved posture to stress relief. 

We are back from vacation and we are BACK at it!! #RiseAndGrind

I like to change up the type of activity I do - from yoga to home workouts - but I do try and make it to the gym throughout the week. My love for fitness and health stemmed from lifting weights in the gym and it has remained a constant in my routine.

It's our last day in Mexico so we finished our morning jog climbing stairs; it is widely regarded as one of the most efficient and effective cardio and strength building workouts you can do. It's definitely not recommended for the little ones, but if you’re willing to put in the work, it provides the results! Better yet, moms can do this exercise at home! 

Her form is better than mine - so proud of my mini me! FORM IS EVERYTHING!!

This past weekend I completed The Bellies Inc. Instructor Certification Course that allows me to be more specialized in core rehabilitation and pelvic floor health (yes, this also includes correcting diastasis recti).

Acai Bowls taste like ice cream, look like ice cream and are what breakfast dreams are made up! I'm on my way to a 2-day course with Bellies Inc. to learn more about core rehabilitation and pelvic floor health, so opted for an Acai Bowl from Bolt Fresh Bar for a healthy meal on the go!

Attention all you vegan moms!

I tried a pretty delicious chickpea pancake at Terroni's and now I'm testing some recipes for my vegan mommy clients! 

A lot of moms tell me they don't have time or money for the gym, so home workouts are their saving grace. Body-weight exercises like squats, lunges and especially pushups are all great exercises for mommies to do at home!

We are having Asparagus on the BBQ tonight! One of our faves because they're not only delicious, but they're packed with health benefits. The little one loves them too ... except when her pee smells!

We love pajamas and protein shakes!

Mommy survived an intense yoga class today (definite love/hate relationship) - thank you @chi_junky. I am a newbie when it comes to yoga, but I've noticed that in addition to my gym and home workouts, yoga has not only improved my flexibility and strength, but it continues to teach me to calm my mind in a chaotic world! And as a mom, sometimes everyday can feel like complete chaos. 

It's hump day and sometimes on Wednesdays my motivation can hit a low. Moms, try this boxing circuit at home to get that drive back to get you through the rest of the week!

Our weekend playlist includes everything from Beyoncé, Drake to Old McDonald Had a Farm!
What's on your workout playlist?

Happy May 1st! Life will always throw us curve balls, but every new month and every new day I've come to understand that these unexpected circumstances and curve balls are part of growing as a mother! #MyDaughterJustAteDogKibble #Yikes

No Tummy Mommy Tip of The Day: Stress hormones can negatively affect your digestive system and cause undesirable bloating!

I was doing kettlebell swings at home this morning and she thought she could try too! Children will often not listen to advice, but follow your example instead. Show them healthy habits young!
