Fit Mom Chat RoomFinally we have a Fit Mom Chat Room where you can give your opinion, share your pregnancy journey, creative ideas, recipes, kick butt exercise moves, training schedules, favorite playlists, product reviews, as well as your weight loss struggles and accomplishments. I think it's nice to have people to bounce things off of and get their opinion on things. Kickbutt Workout MusicHaving the best workout music is essential to having a kick butt fat burning session. I absolutely believe that the music can either make or break a workout. There are some songs that are just music to my feet and incredibly motivating for those long runs. I also have certain songs that get my muscles all fired up when I’m hitting the weights. Then there are other songs that are absolutely perfect for climbing a monstrous hill in spinning class.

Kick Butt CardioNow that you got your IPOD loaded with great music, it's time to get to work burning some serious calories. This workout is inspired by the fact that the half marathon has been on my mind for the past few months and now a triathlon might be in my future. Swimming is not my strong point so I thought I would skip that and make it a mini biathlon.Since running is a great quad/glute workout and biking is a awesome hamstring/calves workout, combining the two gives you a kick butt lower body workout. Again, incorporating intervals is going to blast more calories and make the most of your time than a steady pace workout. Now get to work!
More Kick Butt Cardio Workouts! Fit-2-DeliverA pregnancy weight gain calculator is meant to provide you with a little guidance when it comes to watching those numbers on the scale start to creep up. It’s kind of funny that the weight we work so hard to shed pre-pregnancy is so essential to the growth and health of our baby while we are pregnant. This is definitely not a time to cut calories in an effort to squeeze into those skinny jeans. Having said that, this isn’t a time to start eating for two either. Weight Gain Guidelines The ACOG determines your recommended weight gain during pregnancy based on your BMI(Body Mass Index). Your BMI is calculated by assessing body weight in comparison to height. The BMI calculator helps determine if you were underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese before conception. Take note, BMI doesn’t account for muscle mass. So, discuss your numbers with your doctor. [read more]
