" I came to debfit 3 years ago after having my first child. I am now in the best shape of my life."

• First and foremost (please don’t roll your eyes), DRINK WATER! Yes, when you work-out you lose water, you dehydrate, you think you’re hungry. YOU'RE NOT! You need water! 8 glasses a day, for goodness sake.
• Plan to exercise 30 minutes everyday. (stop  laughing).  It gives you cheat room.
• Stretching is just as important as muscle building and cardio.  Ask any 70 year old who has been working out their whole life, you can tell.
• When you’re working a particular muscle and you feel it where you shouldn’t, most likely you’re not doing it properly. Which brings me to my next tip...
• Proper alignment is key to proper repetition for any exercise.
• Speaking of proper alignment, Pilates is a perfect way to learn about your “skeletal” self.  It teaches you  proper posture in all positions (standing, kneeling, tabletop, sides and face down) I highly recommend it.
• Yoga, another favorite.  I call it therapy for the mind and body.
• Grab a friend.  Having a partner to work out with is great comfort. IMPORTANT: make sure you're both on the same fitness train so you can positively motivate each other.
