As mothers we are always on the go. We don’t stop. And even when we do, we are still constantly thinking of our to-do list.

Especially when it comes to getting results with working out and exercise, adequate levels of rest and sleep cannot be underestimated. Proper rest and recovery time helps to provide mental health, hormonal balance, and muscular recovery.

I have always been into health and fitness, but after having my daughter my priorities shifted. I am not working out nearly as much as I used to, but I have found a balance with staying active and being a healthy and present mother. And that to me is everything!

Vicki from Spoiled One Inc. is in the final stretch of her 30-Day No Tummy Mommy plan and has committed to her customized fitness and nutrition routine despite her insanely busy schedule co-managing her successful business and working full-time ... not to mention being a hands-on mom to her son Ethan.

The rain is not stopping in Toronto, so we have to take our cardio indoors! How is everyone staying active in this wet weather?

Today's routine was a 15-min HIIT followed by some stretching and core work. More to come on my blog about core rehab postpartum!

No Tummy is part of a fun project called #HelloSonnyAngel with some other incredible mompreneurs including, Mini Model Gallery, Bonjour Baby Baskets, Spoiled-One Inc., and Pixel Paper Hearts. 

A lot of moms have inquired about foam rollers and what to do and how to do it. If you haven't already got a foam roller, seriously consider it. They are relatively inexpensive and help to work out some impossible knots, as well as also being a good support for various exercises (including core exercises).

Loved hanging with Ada, Founder of Minimodelgallery, yesterday - we fell in love with everything at Crown Flora in Queen West that we could not leave without one of their incredible Air Plant Terrariums.

Did you know that keeping plants inside your home can bring a host of physical and mental health benefits? Not to mention, I added a green smoothie for an extra boost this morning!

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!

Thank you The Poptart Diaries for featuring me in your latest blog post! Definitely some great advice to be heard from some incredible #Mompreneurs - check it out here!

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. 

This sweet thank you card from a mommy client got lost in the mail and finally arrived to bring a smile to my face! #ILoveSnailMail

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!
