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. 

#MCM Mommy Crush Monday goes to 52-year-old celebrity Demi Moore who is a fit mom of 3!

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!

We're back to reality today after enjoying a ton of "active rest" over the long weekend! So I didn't actually get in any workouts the past couple of days, but we were definitely on the move!

Active rest involves replacing your formally planned workout with another, less intense form of exercise. Don't get this "rest" confused with sitting on the couch watching Netflix.

I was asked by Suzanne Toth to share TEN THINGS I LOVE, so here goes.

There are some common health and fitness myths that never seem to get old. One being that lifting weights will make you big. THIS IS A MYTH!

Fact: as women we really don’t have the testosterone to put on big and bulky muscle. So if you are avoiding the weights, think again. Resistance training will actually help you lose weight faster and probably keep it off in the long run.

#MCM Mommy Crush Monday goes to 33 year-old Britney Spears who was one of the most successful teen artists in the 90's.

As a mom of one I am still learning how to balance everything and I still get uptight when things go off schedule. I hear this becomes easier when baby #2 arrives (no, I’m not pregnant). Exercise has helped manage my stress and I laugh a lot more because of it. So this weekend, get moving wherever and whenever you can!

Did you know kissing can burn approximately 2-6 calories per minute? So go ahead and pucker up, mamas!

WOW! Cheyenne is a 23-year old mother of 2 who came to me after struggling with another program that had on her too little calories and not a lot of guidance. We won't get into a lot of detail about which program she was following, but what Cheyenne needed was a customized plan that made sense for her life ... and her life only! Together we explored the best choices and tools she needed to achieve the results she wanted before returning to work from mat leave.

Stay tuned for more pics and updates from last week's NTM Photo Shoot with Toronto Yoga Mamas

Plus, there will be more info to come on the first ever 30-Day No Tummy Mommy Challenge. This challenge will provide a standardized home workout guide and meal plan that will give mothers an opportunity to get their feet wet with NTM. In 30 days you will see and feel a difference! 

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! 

#TBT to our last vacation ... wouldn't you agree that outdoor workouts are so much better with palm trees and ocean air!?!

It's Saturday and yes, I would usually make a healthier version of ice cream at home, but sometimes nothing ever beats the real thing!

It's been a long work week and I'm beat, but I was able to squeeze in a workout before heading home to be with the babes. I finished my session with a few kettlebell swings and some core work. Mommies, sometimes we just gotta do it!!

Thank you so much @trybe_gofree and TryBelleMag.com for featuring No Tummy Mommy and sharing a little bit of the "WHY" behind the brand.
