Sweat Sesh

Many of us have set new fitness and eating goals the beginning of 2017, myself included! I was working out with stroller moms last year, having a grand ol' time outdoors doing all types of different workouts with baby in the stroller watching and playing. I LOVED it and working out with other mamas, but come winter time in Nebraska, baby nor I was up for working out in the cold or even getting out in time all bundled up!

So I was back to figuring out my own workouts indoors (I'm not sold on getting back into an actual gym quite yet!). I would pull workouts from Pinterest, YouTube and Instagram... hoping for a good sweat session. Then I heard/saw advertisements on Daily Burn. If you're familiar with Beach Body workouts, you may have also heard of Daily Burn. It's a website that provides hundreds of workouts, ranging from cardio, to kickboxing, to strength training, to yoga and much more! You have the luxury of choosing from a library full of workouts, or you can follow a structured program with certain trainers. The thing I love is that they also have a new workout streaming live in the morning every single day if you choose to follow those workouts.

I love having this option to workout wherever I am, and creating my own workout schedule for the week! No matter where you are in your fitness game, find something that works for you and get to moving.

What works for your workouts?

I LOVE working out. I LOVE results. I LOVE getting stronger. I LOVE group fitness.

But guess what happens when I had baby? .... those LOVES were left alone... unfulfilled... shattered. Okay, a bit dramatic, but truthfully I didn't have time to myself to get out and workout. Heck, I wasn't even able to workout indoors with baby in front of me! He would only tolerate the swing for maybe 10 minutes... 15 minutes tops!

The more working out became nonexistent for me, the greater my love grew... and grew... into eventually a NEED!! So I searched high and low for options.

- Should I leave baby in a childcare facility (for the first time ever) while I ran the treadmill or took a spinning class?
- How about leaving him with dad at the crack of dawn while I went to a 5:30am class?
- Or maybe I can get a workout in after I put baby to sleep for the night?

No, no and NO! None of these options were feasible! The universe just did not agree with me at the time.

Hence, the birth of Star City Stroller Moms came into my life. WOW!!! I found a place that resembles a bootcamp atmosphere... with other mommies... AND babies!! YASSSSSS! Being a mommy and working out quickly became a ritual for me and my LOVE for fitness is yet again being fulfilled. I even made it to MOM of the month... WHOOP!

How do you balance fitness and life?
