Fun Fitness at Home

I almost posted this on my Facebook page, but I realized I had a lot to say for a quick post - so I thought I'd just do a quick blog post instead. :)

Since having Jeremiah, I have been looking for a way to exercise regularly that would fit into my sporadic schedule.  I began praying about what I should do a while ago, and shortly after I discovered this website: http://fit2b.us/.

"Fit 2 be" is an at-home exercise subscription website, for just $10/month.  Since I am busy w/ 3 littles including an infant, I don't have time to get to the gym.  I was so excited to find Fit 2 Be, as this is not only a monetarily economical website, but it's economical and efficient w/ my time as well.  Many of the workout videos are less than 20 minutes long, and many of those are just 10-15 minutes.  Yes - I'm busy, but who can't find 15 minutes in a day to get moving?  There are no excuses!

Also, the owner is a believer, so there is no need to censor who is in the room when you want to exercise, if that is a concern for you.  It's also nice just to feel like a normal person when I exercise!

Side note: The site also has a whole separate section of "tummy safe" and healing workouts for those who may have a diastasis recti (a separation of the abdominal walls) - which you may likely have if you've ever been pregnant or had a c-section.  Did you know it's estimated that up to 90% of pregnant women have dealt w/ a diastasis at some point?  I recently learned you can even have one if you have a flat tummy!  Check out the website for more information on diastasis recti, including a how-to video to check if you have one. 

Lastly, there is even a section of kids workout videos.  I have to be honest - when I first looked into them I was a little disappointed, because they seemed slightly disorganized.  You know what though?  My kiddos weren't - they were just as excited as I am to get up and get moving! That's a win/win if you ask me.

By the way, no one is paying me to say this.  I am just enjoying it so much that I thought others might too! :)
