I used to think I was pretty chill -- even after baby 1. I was calm, I never yelled (okay maybe not never but very rarely!) and I don’t remember ever feeling like my feelings were out of my control. Then baby 2 came and blew. my. mommy. mind.

Try to think about your fitness not as the workouts you do, but as the lifestyle you lead. Get active when you can so that getting to your favorite class will be an awesome bonus to your day or week, not something you’re relying on (ie. a source of stress!)!

Well, I know I convinced a lot of you that a home workout is a significant key to finding that balance that you're looking for, but we're still faced with the HOW. I have this conversation on the reg: "I just can't get to my classes as much as I want! I wish I was someone who could motivate to workout at home, but I just can't!" Sound familiar? Well I’ve got some solutions for you. Yes, YOU!

If you want to live a life that feels good and if you want to stop trying and start crushing your goals, I'm putting my foot down and telling you you need to get a home workout into your routine.

Once those kiddos get in their last tinkle and their final "1-more-minute" of cuddles, and their eyes flutter shut, we desperately seek a little winding down.

Check out these tips to reign it all in and still feel chill AF

This is the season for a lot of pressure to get your physical self "ready" for the beach vacations and pool parties and, while I am definitely on board for working toward whatever health and wellness goals you have, these sentiments are exactly what keeps us yo-yo-ing, feeling guilty, feeling like we're failing and all that other not-awesome stuff we feel about ourselves and our bodies.

It’s not just about rocking those summer clothes, it’s about feeling great this summer!
