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!!!

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?

Convention and beyond
Well, I have been meaning to write directly after convention but life got in the way yet again. Convention was abolutely life changing for me as person this year. I have always gone to get insight on the business of StrollerFit. Too chat and mingle with other owners. Meet new friends and hang out with old ones. Certifications, classes and new exercises and moves are always a plus but this year was different for me. This year I found ME! Yes, at a convention for my personal business I found myself.
It was strange experience to find me. Each year we are offered to participate in non-StrollerFit classes. This year I chose a spinning class.....something I used to do 2-3 times a week before becoming and StrollerFit owner. During this class I couldn't keep myself from breaking down and crying....it was so overwhelming I couldn't stop it and almost got off the bike and left. I was so embarrassed by my actions or lack of control of those actions. For the love....why was I tearing up....I am exercises....working out....listening to great music and a great instructor. I am in the groove....I am feeling the "hills"...I a loving the fastest of the downward glide....I feel like I can actually feel the wind in my face as I "sailed' down the "road. So why, oh why am I crying like a baby.
Afterward I talked with the instructor who is our President. She said I wasn't the only one who had approached her....you mean there were others??? Holy Cow!! After she took the time to listen to me she helped me realize that I was ME for that hour....ME! Not, a mom, wife, sister, daughter. Not a fitness instructor or small business owner. I was Shawnie....just me! I didn't have a care in the world. I didn't have a child yelling Mom! A person asking where something was. I was working on the next day's class routine or helping my daughter with her homework. I wasn't playing chauffeur or making dinner. I wasn't reports or making goodie bags for an event. I was ME and it felt great! Where have I been? What have I been doing? Where in the world did I come from. The next day, I got to meet with two of the greatest life coaches around...Chris and Louis. While talking with them and other owners, I realized I had lost myself in my daily life juggling act. I can't believe I had let that happened. Isn't that what I tell my clients to do? Don't forget to take time for yourself. Get out and do something without the baby once a week....even if it is just a walk. Hide yourself in the bathroom when the hubby is home with the kids.....take a hot bath and read that book you haven't always wanted to read. I turned into one of them! UGH!!!
Since I have been back, I have vowed that it won't happen again. I am taking the time out each week for me. Am I being selfish....ABSOLUTELY NOT! I recharge moms daily....I am allowed to get recharged too. Not only can I help moms as they Restore their Cores.....I can take the time to restore me!
Don't lose yourself!!! You can be mom, wife, employee...whatever.....but still be you!
Don't deny yourself a simple pleasure of a hot cup of coffee or tea by yourself as you watch the sunrise. Take 10 minutes to read your favorite magazine. You deserve the time and energy for yourself.

Summer
Well, I have been extremely bad and haven't blogged like I promised myself I would. This has been an extremely trying year for us and I have kept to myself. But now....I am going to get down to business!!!
This summer has been an unusually mild one....lots of rain and some record low temps. We have kept our cool during our morning StrollerFit workouts and have enjoyed the not so humid weather. We are gearing up for a couple of walk/runs and a couple of us are possibly doing a half marathon in November...note to self...sign up already!
We have had several of our long time moms move to different states and cities due to their hubbies jobs. We miss all of them very much and look forward to their updates and pictures on Facebook.
Our oldest turns 10 next week and in entering 5th grade.....WOW how time flies. She has been a trooper this summer and decided to come workout at StrollerFit with mom. She runs with us every day and has been a huge help for the other moms pushing strollers when babies have cried and playing with all the kids during our core sessions. She is such a blessing. It is an incredible feeling knowing that I am able to teach her that exercise is fun and necessary.
Gavin has had a chance to participate in a couple of our local park camps and has had an absolute blast. He loved pretending to be a knight and fight of dragons and had fun making science experiments.
Our youngest turned 18 months and gets into everything....I mean everything. He keeps us all very busy! He has also started to mimic me and the other moms in StrollerFit. Trying to sing songs and stretch with us. I am so blessed to offer this experience to all of my kids! Being a small business owner and staying home with my kids is a dream come true.
I also finally found a fabulous location for Restore the Core and officially kicked it off to the public this summer. It has been very successful in a short period of time and I hope that all women get a chance to experience this workout...truly incredible.
We have had many Moms Nights In/Out as well as playdates with the kiddos this summer. My clients are fabulous women and I am so glad they have bonded so well. I see many great friendships blossoming daily and pray that they lead to long lasting relationships.
Summer is hanging around for a few more weeks and then the school year begins again. Life will adjust to the new schedules but I know that our daily StrollerFit workouts will help all the moms begin their day in the right direction.

Almost there....
Well, we are one week away for our first 8 week fitness challenge. Moms have been watching what they eat, working out 3-5 times a week and cut out things in their diets that aren't necessary and full of calories and fat. The moms that have committed to this challenge are looking absolutely fabulous! I am so proud of them and what they are accomplishing. With the StrollerFit and Restore the Core classes they are losing weight, getting leaner and stronger and whittling way the inches. I can't wait till remeasure and see the final results!

Labor Day
When I was a little kid Labor Day was just another chance to get out of school. As I grew up, I learned more about what Labor Day was all about. But as I have become a mom and grown with my children I realize that all moms should be celebrated on Labor Day as well. Don't get me wrong, I am not wanting to take away from the significance of the holiday, just would like to add all of you moms out there to the equation. We has women work so hard to keep everything together. Work, family, friends, school, errands, house...you name it, you have probably done it.
We do so much for everyone and rarely take the time for ourselves and if we do we feel guilty. Why is that? Why are some of the hardest working people out there not comfortable taking care of themselves every once in a while? Strange that it has been that way!
Well, I am glad that I have StrollerFit and that I can spend quality time with my kiddos while I get in some much needed exercise. I have had those mornings where nothing is going right but by the time I am at class, teach and get back home, I feel refreshed and ready to charge the rest of the day. Sometimes it isn't even the workout, just being around my moms is enough. So many of them have such a great personality that just listening to them talk about their problems, kids or just a story about a night out, make me laugh and forget about my morning.
If it wasn't for StrollerFit, I probably would never have gotten to know each of them. It has been a blessing in disguise. These hard working moms are sometimes the life preserver I need.
So as you spend time with your families this holiday weekend take a second to think about your own mom, your friend, co-worker or sister and if you get a chance, give her a hug, let her know that she is appreciated and thank her for working so hard at keeping it all together. We has moms need to support each other, stick together and be there for each other. And remember all that work pays off but don't lose yourself while working! You are all very important!!
HAPPY LABOR DAY!!
