I found the best way to stay motivated, was to not go it alone. I found a great program in my area, StrollerFit. It is a group exercise class for moms with their little ones in the strollers. It is an incredible workout and you meet a great group of moms, going through all the same things you are. It’s a playgroup that exercises. Who can be that. There are classes around the country,,,www.strollerfit.com to find one near you.

I actually found that the best way for me to stay motivated and keep going, was to not go it alone!!! I started taking StrollerFit classes to get back in shape after having my 2 children, and now I’m doing triathlons, 5k’s etc. Trust me, I was not at this type of fitness level before taking these classes. The moms in the class are fabulous and really make you want to be there in the mornings, you really miss it when you miss a class. Not to mention the babies are with you and you get a great workout!!!
Groups and friends are great motivators to keep going, even on those rough mornings:)

for me it was the starting.

Im far better at keeping something up (off? who can say) than beginning the GOTTA LOST THE SADDLEBAGS race.

Britni? BABY STEPS ARE SO RIGHT.
set yourself up for success with goals you can NAIL and then add to them.

in fitness and in life.

I agree with all your suggestions. The hardest part of renewing your health is not so much starting, but continuing.
@Playful Professional I always like the pinch reminder as a motivator. I look in the mirror and pinch however much I can get a hold of on my waist. It reminds me I still have work to do! BEST OF LUCK.

The coolest thing about this whole blogging bit is the people i’ve “met”. If it weren’t for you Rach I wouldn’t have found Coach Al and I might not have had the little a-ha I just did about my training/running – so thank you & a super hug to you my friend
I will be meeting Coach Al in about 2 weeks…and it will be all on video!

Britni!!! How about some baby steps??? !!!Grab a jump rope and jump for 5 minutes?
You make it sound like exercise is such a chore.
What do you enjoy doing? Try to do what you love, I do.

Now why can’t words get me out of the house and to the gym? Words just aren’t doing it for me right now. I need someone to physically pick me up and put me on the treadmill and then hit start.
