It's official - No Tummy Mommy is now part of The Rebel Mama tribe as a fitness & health contributor. If you've never checked out the blog, you're missing out. This is definitely no ordinary "mom blog". 

Did you know that almost all mothers out there complain about flabby and out-of-shape arms?! You're not alone because this is an area of concern for many ... especially us moms. Despite lifting and lugging a diaper bag, a toddler and loads of groceries on the daily, we still want to tighten and tone our arms. Those tasks alone are a pretty decent arm workout, but if you want to get serious about shaping those arms of yours here are a few simple exercises you can try all in the comfort of your own home!

We're still managing to get our holiday workouts in when we can, but we're also enjoying the traditional festivities. Hope everyone is having a happy and healthy holiday season so far! Drink lots of water and take it easy on the eggnog, mama! And if you are going to over-indulge in the eggnog, try this healthier version:

‘Tis the season when gingerbread and eggnog become more tempting than ever! Not to mention, hovering over the cheese platter at holiday parties often has you wishing you wore elastic-waist pants and not your super tight skinny jeans.

Here are three ways to get in THE ZONE:

#MCM Mommy Crush Monday goes to Sheryl Sandberg, who is Chief Operating Officer of Facebook and a mother of 2!

As moms, we need effecient, but effective workouts. A lot of us don't have time (especially on the weekends) to get into the gym or to make that bootcamp or yoga class. So here are three  "Easy Like Sunday Morning" kettlebell circuits that you can do in 15 minutes and feel great about! Psst ... if you don't have a kettlebell, you can get them at Winners or Walmart for under $15. Start with an 8-10 lbs. kettlebell and perfect your form before going heavier!

We all know the "mom bum" is real! Yes, squats are great for building the booty, but let's not forget about the lunge. You can even do different variations of the lunge to better target the mom butt and work on lifting your behind! Happy hump day, mommies!

She was being so silly we didn't even get to work out ... and I was totally okay with that! I'd take giggles over burpees any day!

My workout partner had a little too much sugar in her coffee this morning! Hoping you all get that extra pep in your step today!

30-Day Progress Update: Emily is a working mom of two who knew something needed to change after months of eating out, too many Timmy's drive thrus and minimal activity. She was determined to better her health and so she did! In just 30 days (yes, 30 DAYS!!) she dropped 3.5 inches off her waist, clothes were fitting better ... and now she has more energy to play with her daughters.

It's Thanksgiving weekend, so if you want to satisfy that pumpkin pie craving in a healthier way, try these recipes. Have a happy and healthy weekend, mommies!

Soak in the last day of summer by getting outside for a workout! Before you know it, it will be snowing here in Toronto!

We always try and keep up to date with all the trends happening in health and fitness, but sometimes the best workouts can be done at home with your own body weight.

Sunday funday pre-workout pep talk. She's nervous for the routine ahead and not in love with burpees ... but who really is?

Rain has been in the forecast all week here in Toronto, so we took our cardio indoors. I used to think a HIIT routine on any exercise bike wasn't possible, but we did it ... and it wasn't easy!

No Tummy Mommy 8-Week Update - Sarah is a 38-year-old busy mother of 2 who juggles #momlife with her career as the Director of Fundraising for the Faculty of Education for a University in beautiful British Columbia. 

Yes, I eat carbs! Cutting out any food group (especially carbs) from your diet can result in a pretty miserable and impatient mommy! For dinner last night we had some ground turkey bolognese with brown rice pasta. Here's the recipe!

Here's a snapshot of what my Saturday morning home workout looked like before we headed out for my daughter's soccer session with Little Kickers!
