Welcome!

Welcome! My name is Shawnie and I am the owner/instructor of StrollerFit in Noblesville. I am a mom to 3 beautiful children and wife of the best hubby around (Yes, girls I am sorry, I snagged him first). I have been teaching StrollerFit class for over 2 years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. There were of course up and downs to starting my own business while have 2 kids at home and then having to continue teaching and building the business while sick with my last pregnancy but I survived…..morning sickness and all. The ups of the business (if you really want to call it a business…it is just so much fun) is that I have enjoyed meeting all of the moms that attend classes and helping them reach their goals. The time we spend together at activities outside of class has really allowed for us to bond and become friends in a lot of cases. Teaching moms to work for their goals and being a small part of them reaching a goal has become a true passion of mine. StrollerFit offers so much more than a fabulous workout, it offers moms a chance to bond with their baby and to meet other moms in their same situations all while get fit and fabulous.
The reason I want to start this blog is to let all moms realize just how strong they really are and that they can do just about anything. We are amazingly strong creatures and rarely give ourselves enough credit. Also, I want to hold myself more accountable for taking care of myself. As a mom we sacrifice so much for our families and we always put ourselves last. Now, I am not being selfish but we do need to have "mommy time" and help re-energize ourselves. I personally believe that happy moms equal happy families. If we don’t take care of ourselves how are we able to give so much time and ourselves to our families? We CAN reach our goals while balancing work, family and mommy time.

Through this blog I will check in periodically with my own personal achievements and goals, both personal and business. I worked out during my entire pregnancy and I was able to lose all but 5 lbs of my pregnancy weight in less than 2 weeks this time. Due to my Restore the Core™ workout my stomach looked much better after this pregnancy but since then I haven’t been able to find time for my own workouts. 3 kids, one which didn't sleep and had acid reflux, work, housecleaning and every day tasks...who has time for herself? Before, I would teach 5-6 times a week and still workout at home. That has basically become non-existent at this stage. But, not anymore, starting today I will make the time to workout myself. It may be at 11:30 at night but I will do it. I will check in and talk about how I try and keep my balance with StrollerFit, 3 kiddos, hubby and still find the time to workout on a weekly basis. I will also discuss what StrollerFit has done for me as a woman and for my family.

Keep checking in to see how I do and if you have any suggestions, ideas or comments on how you balance business and family, I would love to hear from you.
