Healthy Snacks for Super Bowl
Super Bowl is hereeand we're pretty excited because we made Naturopathic Doctor, Rachel Schwartzman's, raw vegan energy balls. And they are delicious! I'm sure they will be a hit over the wings and nachos during Super Bowl!
30-Day Challenge Progress: Cheryl
NTM 30-Day Challenge Progress: I couldn't help but share the progress of one awesome mama from the January 30-Day Challenge. Cheryl is a full-time teacher and mother to 2-year old Charlotte. I am so proud of Cheryl because in 30 days she lost 10 lbs., 4 inches off her waist and 3 inches off her hips!! AMAZING!! Plus, she trimmed a total of 5.5 inches off her thighs. The numbers are incredible, but the most important thing is that Cheryl feels healthier, happier and better about herself; she is driven to keep on going!
New Month, New Goals!
Hellooooo February! This is us before we're a sweaty mess! We're ready to kick off the new month with some new goals. Here's what we plan to do this evening:
Is Your Butt Up For A Squat Challenge?
If you're tired of wearing baggy sweaters that hang below the bum to hide your not-so-there derriere, then read on! No Tummy Mommy released their first squat challenge that is simple and effective ... and mommy approved!
Baby got back.
As I speak to more and more mothers, there are common concerns that always come up including the fluffy tummy, the flat butt and the flabby back. Don’t we all wish to go back to the days when we could wear a tank without worrying about that awful “bulge under the bra”?
We've joined the Rebel Mamas!
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".
Arm Yourself, Mama!
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!
Eggceptionally Healthier Eggnog
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:
Healthy Habits Over The Holidays
‘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.
When In You're In The Zone, Nothing Can Stop You!!
Here are three ways to get in THE ZONE:
Mommy Crush Monday - Sheryl Sandberg

"Easy Like Sunday Morning" Workouts
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!
Mega Moves To Lift Your Mom Butt
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!
The Home Workout That Didn't Happen ...
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!
