MOM OF THE MONTH
KAREN MARTINEZ
 
Our Mom of the Month program honors one of our Fit4Mom moms for her efforts to live a healthy lifestyle and for her dedication to the program.  This month we honor Karen Martinez, aka Benjamin's Mama!
 
Karen has been coming to Stroller Strides classes for a year and a half and we have loved getting to know her.  She is a welcoming, understanding, and a very loving person.  We LOVE that about her!!  

Currently she attends Stroller Strides and Stroller Barre and participated in the Body Back BOOST session at the end of last year. She always gives her absolute best in each class.  She knows what she wants to get out of class and works very hard to reach her fitness goals.  Truly amazing!!!  She challenges herself in class and she is undoubtedly a powerful, healthy role model to her son Benjamin and her family.

We love having Karen and Benjamin in Fit4Mom classes and having them part of our Fit4Mom Family!!

Here are a few questions we asked her to get to know her better.  

Members of your Family -  Cesar, Benjamin Luca (22 months) and I

Hometown - Central part of Mexico

Previous/Current Career - Dentist and Dental hygienist by profession and stay at home mom by a blessed choice

When did you start Stroller Strides?  I started Stroller Strides when Benjamin was 6 months old.

What do you enjoy most about Stroller Strides?  This is a hard one because there are many things that I enjoy about SS.  I guess the first one is that I get to exercise with encouraging mommas.  Ben and I have made awesome friendships and I have learned to use my baby as motivation and not an excuse to exercise.


What is your favorite exercise? 
My fav exercise, burpees!! Lol...no! Actually planks!



What are your fitness goals?  To gain more endurance, strength and energy! I definitely need it to keep up with Ben.


What is your favorite Mom's Club (Our Village) activity?  Trampolines!! To get some energy out of Ben (although that takes some energy out of me too).


What has been your proudest mommy moment so far? 
I guess just recently after I disciplined Ben, he approached me and said: "sorry mom, te amo (I love you)" that melted my heart and made me feel like I'm doing a good job.


What are your 3 favorite things?  A getaway with my fav men (Cesar and Ben), time ALONE (haven't had this one in a long time not even in the restroom), and a romantic dinner with my hubby.


We are SO PROUD of you Karen!  We honor your dedication, hard work, and love of this program.   We are so grateful to have you in our Fit4Mom Family!!!
