The Balancing Act

OK - if you take a close look at this stack of fitness videos you will recognize some from the 90s. There might even be one from the 80s… The fact is, since having kids I have had a hard time carving out time for myself - for anything at all including maintaining my fitness & health.

Fitness Tapes

I decided, with my busy schedule, I would dust off the stack and get moving again.  I actually love aerobics - LOVE LOVE moving to music and I really love anything Kathy Smith - great instruction and modifications.  That said, I am eager to hear about some of you who might also be basement fitness junkies… what are you working out to?  I am on a search for workout DVDs that inspire us to get moving and fit.  I know that the trends have changed over the years, exercise tapes are not all the same these days.  Yoga, Pilates, Boxing, Ball workouts - and I am sure lots more.  If you have a favourite tape share it with me and I will put it on the list so we can help each other.

And while I am talking about getting fit…. I am wondering how many other moms are eager to get fit (lose weight in the process but focus on getting fit)?  I would like to start a FIT Mom Blog where a group of us share the blog - like a support group for each other and for those who are looking for support as well.  Post a comment to let me know if you are interested in joining a BLOG GROUP or if you would rather you can email me at  - helen@canadianparents.com.

Watch my blog this week for more on getting moving…

You need to try Wii Fit Helen! It’s really fun, and I think a great way to keep fit. Mackenzie actually did a 15 minute run the other day, and in doing so, unlocked other activities within the game.
I’m definitely interested in getting fit, I don’t need to lose any weight, but even thin people can lead sedentary lifestyles, and with a common goal of staying fit it would be a lot of fun!

i see a Little Yogi video there.
We have that one and that is what inspired me to start yoga…OK maybe it took 5 or 6 years but I am loving it now.
I second the WiiFit

I would do the Fit Blog. I am in town tomorrow so I am going to see what there is for fitness dvd’s and if something catches my eye I just might have to grab it.
