Mom Life ... My Life.

Here is a glimpse of my Sunday morning as I hustle get a smoothie made and the little one is messing with the dishwater. A year ago this scenerio would've stressed me out, but now I wouldn't change my life for a second. Don't get me wrong, I still love a clean house and a morning routine (well any routine for that matter), but there is something beautiful about the chaos that my daughter creates in my life. I love it!

And On Sundays We Rest ....

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.

15-Minute HIIT Step Session

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!

Trybe Active Wear & Foam Rollers!

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).

The Power of Plants

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!

Mommy Stretches

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.

BACK to Reality

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.

Why Climb?!

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!
