Family Fitness: Working out during pregnancy
Posted by Bert on 10/17/2013

All the way back in January I wrote about working out during your first trimester. I asked the question,
can you exercise during your first trimester? The unanimous answer from
everything I read was yes, you can exercise during your first trimester and you should
still keep up a workout habit even after you see that positive pregnancy sign. I'm going to
level with you...
Family Fitness: The 7 minute workout, perfect for moms!
Posted by Bert on 9/26/2013
to Family Fitness
What would you do if I told you that you could workout for seven minutes and
it would be as good as getting in a 30 minute workout? Think I'm crazy? Is it
too good to be true? Yeah, I thought the same thing when I heard about this
so called seven minute is all that it takes workout. Science, however, begs to
differ. (Read more...)
Family Fitness: Finding your local exercise TRIBE!

Interested in starting up a new running habit? Wanting to get back into tip top running shape postpartum? You should check out a running club that's geared specifically for mothers. As a newer runner I can attest to the camaraderie that's developed through running with a group of girls. Running clubs allow you to sweat together, laugh together, and have a focused conversation with each other. It all sounds good, right? How do you find these groups and what should you look for?
Family Fitness: Deconstructing Diets, Veganism!
Posted by Bert on 8/22/2013
to Family Fitness
If you’re a meat lover, dairy connoisseur, or fan of eggs and are considering taking on a vegan inspired diet, I urge you to reconsider. Vegans are like vegetarians, however, the take it one step farther – where the vegetarian will consume eggs and dairy, the vegan will not. Anything that comes from an animal is off limits in this lifestyle. Some make the choice to eat a vegan diet because they passionately feel that it is cruel to eat anything from an animal.

When the FDA puts a warning out that you should stay away from any kind of diet I think it goes without saying that you should heed their warning. The hCG diet is a weight loss plan that uses the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (yes, the one that’s found to have elevated levels during pregnancy... (Read More...)

Family Fitness: Running for beginners!
Posted by Bert on 5/2/2013
to Family Fitness
In one week this Saturday I will be running my first half marathon. A year ago if you had asked me if I would ever run a race I would?ve laughed in your face. Yet here I am not only training for a half marathon but for the most part I love the goal that?s at the end of this thing. The training has been intense; on Sunday I was out for two and a half hours with the sun beating down on me. It was not a smart move to forget the sunscreen that day. So what do you do if you want to start running? Here are my tips:
