Sometimes it's too hot or rainy to work out outdoors. That's when we move it inside!

Summer Workout Tips

for Hot Mamas


Yep, it's hot. But that's not going to stop us from doing our FIT4MOM thing. Here are some things to keep in mind during summer (which, as we all know, runs from mid-May through mid-October).

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Not just during class, but before and after. It's especially important to drink water in the hour before your workout, during, and after. For more details on the why and how of hydration, check out this article by Live Science.

Listen to your body! If you feel you're getting overheated, alert your instructor and stop to take a rest. Don't try and push through; your body will thank you.

Your instructors will help by having fun water-themed classes, carrying spray mist bottles, and keeping outdoor classes in the shade.
Read on to discover some clever cooling items that may help you and your kiddo!  

Stroller Fan: You can find a reasonably priced clip on fan to provide a breeze for your little one. They can be found at Wal-Mart for as little as $5.00 or online for around $15.00.  There are varieties that have the blades completely enclosed or even made of foam.
Spray Bottle/Misting Fan: Look for a hand-held misting fan to provide your baby with an occasional spritz of cool water. These can be found at Wal-Mart, Academy, and more. Some misting fans double as water bottles! 
Stroller Gel Pad/Ice Pack: A frozen gel pack (the squishy kind) wrapped in a dish towel makes a wonderful climate control backrest for your little one. A frozen washcloth works well, too—especially for teething babies!
Cold Neck Wrap: Chilly Pads by Frogg Toggs are an example of a water-activated cool neck wrap. Your child can use one in the stroller, and you can put one around your neck to keep you comfortable.
Sunblock: Remember to apply sunscreen on your face, neck, ears, and shoulders before class. And don't forget the little ones! 
"A good mom has good days and bad days. She has peaceful days and days where everything seems to go wrong. She finds comfort in the little things... the laughter, the chaos, the art projects that end up all over the floor, and the crumbs hiding in every nook and cranny. She has days where she's supermom and days where she needs to hide in the bathroom for a second. She has a whole lot of strength in her mind, love in her heart, and gratitude in her being. She has a clean house that may only last 5 minutes, but a home filled with memories and love. She's a great mama, a beautiful soul, and a shaper of the future. Because she's a mother; a mover, a shaker, a magic maker, and leading by example along the way. Every single day."
