Okay, so I am way behind in posting again but I have been extremely busy getting ready for a challenge. The 8 week mommymuscle challenge!
Moms that are members of StrollerFit in Noblesville and Fishers are ready for the challenge and a change! They will be participating in the nationwide 8 week mommymuscle challenge that starts Monday, January 18th! We have spent the week doing our pre-assessments and everyone is excited!
The ladies are testing to see where they are now in agility, cardio, flexibility, core and strength. After 8 weeks of exercises that will help them improve in all the areas....these ladies will see measurable differences. I am so excited for them and can't wait to see the differences!
Need a challenge....come to your local StrollerFit and try out a class!!!

Challenges
CHALLENGES....we all have them, right? It could be a person we don't really get along with at work or in the family. It could be your kiddos at times. Challenges can come in the form of life-changing decisions or just simply do I want a Grande or a Venti or will I get out of bed and go exercise today.
I am slowly learning to embrace challenges as they come my way.....this is going to be a long process but I am trying. I like them for the most part....I tend to learn a lot about myself.....but sometimes they come at the wrong time. But when they do come your way....what do you do? How did that work for you? Did you surprise yourself? Did you fail? Did you overcome with such vengence that you don't even recognize yourself? Did you realize that you were that strong?
As part of our month long StrollerFit - Fitness Takes No Holiday Challenge I gave my clients (moms) a challenge in class. How long can you hold a perfect squat? I mean a perfect squat.....keep the chin up, shoulders back, knees in line with the ankles.....and abs pulled in. Not one of the moms showed an ounce of hesitation when I called it out. They all lined up and took the challenge....even my 32 week pregnant mom....she is a trooper!!! All of them did so well....I was so impressed but two of them blew me away.........they held that perfect squat for over 5 minutes.....yes 5 minutes plus!!! (Did I mention the challenge was done during our class....they had already been exercising) I was blown away.....I was so proud of them! They took that challenge, sat back in the squat and held their stance.....legs shaking and all! I believe that moms have challenges thrown at them everyday and sometimes we complain and sometimes we sit back on our heels and keep our chins up and hold on tight and fight our way through it....even if it is hard!
Congrats to Anna and Melissa! YOU ARE AMAZING WOMEN AND FABULOUS MOMS!

FITNESS TAKES NO HOLIDAY!!
And our StrollerFit moms will not take no extra pounds this holiday season! Yes, we will fight with everything to not give in to the temptations during the season of giving. Watching our portions....moderation is key!
From now until the end of the year we will maintain our exercise routine...working out, staying strong and keeping each other motivated. Besides attending classes the moms have many chances to earn extra points. Simple ones like wearing StrollerFit clothes to class, being the first one to class......to fitness challenges.....who can hold a squat the longest. At the end of the challenge everyone participating will have maintained and even in some instances, continued to lose weight.....all will have continued growing stronger and everyone will be less stressful throughout the challenge.
Did you know that.... moderate exercise is a great way to flush coritsol (stress hormone) which can make us crabby, tired and hungry for sugar!
Just one of the many reasons to keep your exercise routine up during the holidays. What are you doing to get through the holidays lighter this year?

New Routine
Well, we finally are officially into our first full week of school. Ry is now in 5th grade and loves the fact she has a locker...I'll be it a "half" locker but a locker none the less. She is having a great time so far and I just pray that it lasts.
My next session of Restore the Core started last night and we had a great turnout of new ladies. Everyone worked hard and did a great job. StrollerFit classes are doing well despite the heat. The moms are working hard! We started our latest 8 week fitness challenges Monday and we are off to a great start. Watching our refined sugar intake this week....hard for a dessert addict like myself but I am hanging in with them.

A New Year, A New Me!
Well, 2008 was an eventful year to say the least. Lots of ups and a ton of downs but through it all I am still standing. Not everything happened the way I would have liked but that is probably me being a bit selfish. That is okay though, I am trying to learn to let go of what I cannot control. A hard task at times but one I am willing to learn to do more often. It helps to have a wonderful support system too. I am the one used to helping other out and love, love to do that so it has been a challenge in it self to lean on others for so much. Thank you to everyone for everything!
As the new year approached and everyone was talking about resolutions, I kept thinking what I could I do that is actually a challengethis year? There are so many typical ones that are stated each year and lost 2 weeks later. I wanted something hard, something that would really hold me accountable. First, I want to keep up with my blogging...Uh....Errr....it is January 20th and I am finally working on that one...LOL Oh well, not everything will be easy. Second, was to get my Restore the Core classes up and running. I am working some final details out about that so I am almost done with that resolution. But I finally took the step forward this year and signed up, oh yes I did, I signed up for the Indianapolis 500 Mini Marathon through Team in Training. Am I crazy? How will I get my miles in with 3 little ones at home? What was I thinking? I need this challenge! I want to do this and have for many years, so here it is!! The great thing about doing this with Team in Training (TNT) is that I also get to raise money for them to help with the Leukemia Society. I am so excited and thrilled to be able to attempt this challenge this year. I will keep you posted on my progress! Wish me luck!
2008 ended on a very low note but 2009 has been great. I feel good, I am blessed with the most amazing family and friends and of course my fabulous StrollerFit moms. Some of them have signed up too for the Mini and I can't wait to begin training with them. I know we can do this and reach our goals! We are moms, we are women, we are strong, we are athletes and we will and can conquer any challenge or obstacle!
