momstown Oakville moms lose over 100lbs and 50 inches in our first ever fitness challenge!

A big congratulations to all the momstown Oakville moms who participated in our first ever fitness challenge! Last night was the final weigh in and these Oakville moms knocked it out of the park! Everyone did really well and whether they were in it to lose pounds, inches or just to become more active I think the challenge was a resounding success. As a group, we lost 113 lbs and 52 inches in 6 weeks!

A big thank you to all of our sponsors! momstown Oakville moms loved trying so many places and workouts that were new to them. To recap, here are the workouts we did:

Spinning with Quad Spin

Bootcamp with Fitdolls

Pilates with The Belle Method

Zumba with Binu

Sports training with The Sports Academy

Body Pump and Yoga led by one of our own momstown Oakville mamas

Whole Body Vibration Training with T-Zone Oakville

And we had a nutritional seminar with Living Force Nutrition.

For our final weigh in, we gathered together at Whole Foods where Ryan from Fitness on the Go took our measurements and we weighed in. Ryan was professional and encouraging and stayed around to offer us some tips and tricks to continue down our healthier path. I asked him what three exercises would he recommend to start each day with and he suggests push ups, squats and the plank. We also talked protein powder, weight lifting and of course, his area of expertise, personal training. Be sure to check out the Fitness on the Go website to learn how you can get Ryan to come and whip you in to shape right in your own house! A very easy option for moms - get that workout in while baby naps upstairs!

We also had Paula from Body by Vi speak to the group about her transformational change (she lost 32lbs in her first 90 days and then another 50 lbs after that!) using the Body by Vi weight loss system. Paula delivered great information about what worked for her, answered all of our questions and handed out some tasty samples! In addition to samples from Paula, samples of Nature’s Qu Quinoa Cereal Embrace Foods were also given out. Adding protein to your breakfast was a great tip we received from our nutritionist seminar and quinoa cereal would be a fabulous way to do that.

And then finally it was time to announce the winners!

Congratulations to Jody who lost the highest percentage of body weight (9% in 6 weeks)!

Congratulations to Stacey who lost the most inches (10.5 inches in 6 weeks)!

I love that we could all get fit together and inspired one another to make healthy lifestyle changes and try new things. Another benefit to being a momstown mama! momstown Oakville is working on our next fitness challenge starting in mid September. Want to join us? Sign up here!

momstown Oakville moms have fun and get fit with Fitdolls

My legs are sore this morning! Last night momstown Oakville moms tackled our third workout for the momstown fitness challenge. Fitdolls promised us a fun and challenging workout and they certainly delivered on that promise! Fitdolls programming is exclusively for women designed by women. Their workouts are designed to give you a beautiful feminine toned body. Fitdolls goal is to help you look and feel your best and their programs involve:

-high intensity fat burning workouts
-fun stations that combine cardio and strength training
-flexibility component

We started our workout with a quick warm up and then moved right into some challenging but fun activities. When is the last time you skipped in a big skipping rope? Taking us back to our school yard days, we had a blast taking turns turning the rope and jumping in and out of the rope. We even had three mamas in their jumping all at once!

Another fun activity involved running around and flipping paper plates over. We were divided into two teams and one team needed to have as many plates facing up as possible and the other team needed to have the plates facing down. This activity was really great cardio as we raced around competing against each other but after bending down many, many times you could really start to feel the burn! Add in some good old fashioned suicide runs, lunges and walking planks back and forth across the room, and some relay races and the hour passed really quickly.

Lunges, walking plank, skipping rope and flipping plates with Fitdolls!

Here is what some of our members had to say about the workout:

"Yes, good workout. My thighs are sore from all the lunges. The workout had a grade school vibe to it that was refreshing. All those jumping jacks, skipping, and suicides... all we needed was a game of dodge ball to round out the night!" - Amy

"It was a great workout! I'm glad I pushed myself as it was outside of my comfort zone. I've never done a class like that before." - Sarah

Fitdolls offers boot camp classes as well as personal training sessions either in studio or in your home. Check out their website for some great winter promo prices! Their workouts are hard but they've done a really great job at making them fun and unique.
