Do not start you year out without your RollerSizer!

Who would know that my car fetish would turn into stroller fetish after the birth of my first child. Well it did! I have a real love for the “look” of the stroller. But, I have a question. I learned how to drive a car. I took a test. No one teaches a mom how to drive a stroller? They put their bundle of joy in a four-wheel cart and off they stroll!

I thought there needed to a training program to drive a stroller. Right?

As a fitness instructor, it is very important that we teach our clients how to use exercise equipment properly. But now the exercise equipment is a stroller. We do not give them a written test or how do we know they drove it around the block when they bought it or test drove it with baby. Do they know if it has working brakes, lights, stereo, rack and pinion steering? Most moms buy a stroller for its look and it color. Some buy it cause everyone else has one and it is a social statement. Oh yes, the stroller is either a Ford Taurus or a Porsche.

I  teach women how to drive a stroller safely. I do not care about the color!

As you all know or maybe some of you are just learning, I gained 35 pounds, maybe more when I put the Nail In My Eye, while inventing The RollerSizeR. Let’s just say the first couple prototypes kept my “eye” on the dream! I even taught NYC Strollercize classes with an eye patch. I think that just scared my moms into melting their muffins faster.  I learned after having a skinny dancer figure and a fit mom body what it was like to have FAT around my middle (and I still do), but because of that, I have more compassion for those that need to “whittle” their waste-lines and well, get a GRIP on their GUTS.

I have ten pounds to go and yes…I have a great picture of me showing off my “wheel” tummy with a measuring tape. I will share that photo with you and yes, I did cut my head off so I look like the headless Gut. This will show not the before and after but will show the continuous daily change of a waistline using the AB Toning Tool, The RollerSizeR. You guys all own a RollerSizeR and there are hundreds of exercises to do with it so the work ahead is huge. I am writing that workbook as The WEB FIT CLUB grows.

The RollerSizeR props up the hips so there is no strain

As your trainer, I wanted to show you a video on YouTube. In this video this guy is for sure, super cut and got a six pack you could dance on! I got six pack you could sleep on and replace your pillow! I will be doing the very same workout as he does but with The RollerSizeR. It will be upload tomorrow at 6:00AM for those in The Web Fit Club!

Watch this routine? Watch this “one minute” moves…yeh right! They are 30 seconds! Mine will be ONE MINUTE!!!!!!!
Now this is where age and wisdom workout. The use of THE ROLLERSIZER allows ALL AGES, SIZES, ACHES PAINS and TIME ISSUES and whatever other silly excuse I hear as a trainer. SICK OF IT…you need to workout three to four times a week and cut back on sick foods that are NOT godd for you and too much food! OK, calm down…lizzie,

So watch the link I will put it up on the site. But tomorrow THE WAR OF THE AB WORKOUT ROLLS!

I did not get a provisional patent on this ROLLERSIZER for nothing.
P.S. I do sort of like his music….I am going to pick mine now!

SIX PACK AB WORKOUT

If you DO NOT OWN a RollerSizeR you can purchase them here BUY NOW

A month goes by and you have not worked out. This is your new life you have set the new pattern. It will stay like this probably for the rest of your life. You are now set on the path to stroll down as a not fit mom. Once a mom let’s fitness slide after she has a baby that is when she kisses her sexy fit life away. It is very, very, very hard to get back.  Once you have the doctors OK to workout,  you should make the times in your calendar to workout each week before the new baby’s life takes you on a whirl away from working out. If you want to be A FIT MOM, set three days you workout. You do not care where it is or where it happens but it is happening. It should be in your daily language. I need to get my workout in today. Three days, thirty minutes a time is good. If you miss a day you have a make up day. Just remember someone is following your lead, your walk in life, they have their eye on you.  That someone is your baby. You are showing your baby your commitment to working out or NOT. Think about it? If your baby could talk and express their feelings it would sound like this my mom does not work out, I never see her workout, must not be that important. When I grow up, I am going to be just like mom.

The stroller is like open luggage with a baby in it. In the front of the stroller a mom usually hangs a diaper bag. Well in Strollercize we do not hang heavy bags on our strollers cause it can cause the stroller to tip and you can stride out your legs. So our moms keep the bags down under in the basket. But sometimes moms put their phone and or wallet in a travel tray that can hang on the stroller. They turn their back and poof the “stroller pocket” takes your wallet and your phone! 

So here is a story that was shared in a NYC Strollercize class that really got to me.  One of my moms, who has now been with me five months,  is fit and let me tell you, she looks like a giselle but do not mess with her. I will not mention her name as I protect my mommies but this story can happen to anyone. She is in a store on the upper west side and she is doing some lite shopping and reaches for some bread. Her back is turned from the stroller only seconds and when she turns she notices her diaper bag ( which is in the low compartment of the Bugaboo ) that the flap is open and her wallet is there but NOT her phone!   At this time in the class, I am doing my Strollercize Instructor thing and I am listening to this story she is sharing with the other moms and my mouth is wide open with curiosity.  I have to stop and do a “Mobile Station”  cause the story was too much for me.  I gave them a “Save The Family” (stroller exercise) and when the moms came back, I had my mom continue the story. I had to get the rest of the story. So this “Giselle” of a mom quickly sees a “stroller pocket” heading for the door with her phone in his hands. She reaches out with her slender buff arms and grabbed and screamed “give me my phone”! She snatched  it out of his hands and  he freaked and started to stutter! So, she got her phone,  all is good and her son was safe cause you do not mess with his mommy. But just stop and think what would you do if this happened to you?

We made a list at Margarita Moms as to what to do if someone tries to “pocket your stroller”. Would love to hear what you would do as a mom and some of you prevention tips.

Anyway, I was really proud of her and all I can say is “Beware of Mad Mom in “Giselle” Clothing!

#1. Black is out. A white blanket or throw goes over the black or dark colored strollers. My class looks like a cult of white ghost sheets blowing in the wind.

#2. A white tight weave cotton pillow case or sheet under the baby. So the baby is clean and the body can sweat. Putting the baby on the plastic rubber fabric of most strollers is extremely uncomfortable for the baby. Think about getting into a hot car seat and sitting on that type of fabric.

#3. NO socks.

#4. Onsies rule or white T’s nothing that is tight on the skin. If the outfit is cute and tight save it for air conditioning.

#5. Speaking of air conditioning. If you take the baby in and out of a refrigerator the baby is going to get sick. So bring a blanket you can throw over the baby when you enter air conditioning. This way you do not put the baby in cold shock therapy treatment. You go seat in a meat cooler!

#6.  Get a little spray bottle and spray your face and the babies toes.

#7. Get a stroller fan one that points to the baby and hey one that points to you!

Everyone is now COOL!

Mom is sweating but the baby is cool!

RollersizeR to the ground. Try to get the two balls there too and feel that stretch.

So, Central Park was empty, except for my mom brigade of dedicated stroller fitness moms. It was a bit wet, it drizzled, it was like sweat falling from the clouds. The weather was perfect for a Strollercize class cause no one else was out in that beautiful, perfect weather for workout except us post par dum babes of buggy brains and buns.

Just kills me, to hear excuses why new moms can’t find or fit fitness in their life. I had moms today that did not want to workout. Of course. But they new it was going to make the rest of their day better! Also because I am from Seattle, I was a fish in the water, this is my weather! This is why I have curly hair. This is why I am a good teacher. Because the weather does not dictate my health now will I let it happen to my moms. Fitness does not fall on perfect weather days for stroller workouts. Come on give me another excuse. The babies are under a plastic. They are in strolling incubator. Imagine a I Phone with music in a incubator that is stereo heaven and you want to talk about nap time.

If it is not thundering, lighting or pouring like a crying alienated new mom, get our of your house, your apartment and let the rain wash away stress, the air is clean, the rain fall mainly on you. Both classes today were huge cause they knew they would be better.

So, “My Fair Moms” The rain is gain when fitness makes you sane! No excuses. Get out there and get wet with sweat!
