What are your littles up to? And any guesses what Landon (my oldest) is telling Kiera NOT to do? . . . . . #7monthsold #Broihiersibs #babymilestones #momof4 #babyofthefamily #momoffour #babyledweaning #bigfamilylife #crawlingbaby #milestones #sevenmonthsold #smilingbaby #thumbsucker
If you’re interested, I’m happy to share more on my recovery tips and stretches (also, check out my stretching highlight), but this picture shows a great quad stretch that you can do anywhere, even on the floor with your baby. Inhale and reach for your ankle or foot (whatever you can reach) and pull it towards your booty. Exhale and pull it closer as you think of pressing your hips towards the floor (exhale). You should feel a deep stretch down the top front of your leg (your quad). Hang out for a few seconds and a few deep breaths. Release and repeat 2-3 times. #dynamicstretching 
I created my Pregnancy Workout Essentials Collection during my pregnancy with Kiera - a pregnancy I worked hard for. It was my third full-term pregnancy, and I knew that if I wanted to create any more pregnancy workouts (while I was pregnant) I needed to do them then (in case we didn’t have any more kids). SO I DID. This program has 12 different workouts that are all modified for pregnancy - boxing, barre, cross-fit inspired training, HIIT training, pilates mat, yoga flow, stretch, upper and lower body workouts, and lots and lots of safe core exercises (because during pregnancy core work can feel so boring). You also get workout calendars, recipes for pregnancy cravings, printable mantras, and a Q&A with my most often asked questions about exercise during pregnancy. 
I’ve realized recently that although I have my moments, I like the half glass full kind of mentality. So with that in mind, I challenge you to name at least two things, big or small, that are making you happy right now. I’m naming five:

me some #coronabeer. I’m already planning my house party for next year. Let’s just say the last time we had a Cinco de Mayo party it ended with our buddy @jevendovey running around with the left-over donkey head from the piñata on his own head. #goodtimes 
Do you have any good Cinco de Mayo stories? How’d you spend tonight? . . . . . #cincodemayoparty #coronavirus #coronavirus2020 #coronalife #partymom #partyinmypjs #sahm #lamom
If you didn’t get a chance to follow my IG stories yesterday (I’ll add a highlight) we celebrated May Day. It got us out and about to our friends homes, brought smiles to my kids’ and others’ faces, and really brightened my week overall - having something to prepare for and plan. I think that’s what’s really hard about family life right now - the lack of things to look forward to, right? I have more ideas on that - stay tuned.

I’ll include a link in my bio and some swipe ups in my stories (and later in a highlight), so you can find out more about MYX. Please use code SARA to get $250 off MYX (indoor cycling bike plus tablet & heart rate monitor) or MYX Plus (the addition of free weights, kettlebell, band, oversized exercise mat and foam roller). Their pricing is so much more affordable than others, and I love their choice of bike. Yes, you can ride with me! MXY couldn’t have come at a better time in all of our lives. #myxfitness 
I want to, but my secret hope is that this whole thing is over before I have a chance. 
#wishfulthinking I do need to get back to more blogging and personal writing- so therapeutic. But back to my third grader - for his first (virtual) writing assignment back after spring break his teacher is having them write about the pandemic in a journal. And man, reading it is rough. I almost started crying after his first entry. When you read the facts out loud from a child’s point of view it’s a lot. Regardless, I highly recommend this idea for you or your kids - even if they have to dictate to you . It will also give you a lot of insight if you have a kid like my Landon who is pretty happy-go-lucky. He doesn’t say it out loud, but boy does he miss his friends - he writes it in every journal entry. I hear you, buddy. I miss my friends too. Hang in there friends. We are all feeling it. . . . . #landonbro #boymom #pandemic2020 #pandemickidsathome #pandemicjournal #kidsactivities #pandemicproblems #athomeduringcoronavirus #pandemicactivities #thirdgrademom #momofathirdgrader

My favorite workout is balancing bird dog!
They all look fun but I am going to say half ups!
They all look great but I’m going to go with balancing bird-dog!
This piece of equipment looks amazing! The balancing bird dog (which we do a lot on ground but this would be better) and the up and overs! Used to do those on a step back in the day but this is better!
Half ups! I am 4 months post partum and watching you has motivated me to make time(working around my babies schedule) to get healthy and work on my fitness. I love watching your videos on IG especially the “bloopers” which is mostly you getting hit with a flying object only because it shows how at the end of the day us mom’s have so much in common!
Those pigeon plank taps looks like it actually makes planks fun!
8. Plank Pigeon Taps is my favorite
Half ups! My core is my trouble area
