I take muay thai at a great gym here in NY... So much fun, and what an amazing workout! We do wear gloves, which is empowering. I beat the crap out of the bag, and get to trade punches and kicks with other people (in a safe environment). Keep it up! Melifera´s last blog post...Spring fever and my brand-spanking new rose-colored glasses.

I’ll be #30! You reached your comments goal.

I joined a v-ball team this summer. At least I get 1 hour of exercise a week.

Lately all I’ve been able to do is exercise my mind!

I like yoga, walking and swimming, plus body sculpt type of classes, but I’ve been having a very, very difficult time lately fitting in any sort of consistent exercise routine.

Good for you with trying something new and empowering in more ways than one!

OK!! I couldn’t help to write something about our workout every week. YES!! i’m the same “vivacious single mom friend” that Rachel mentioned yesterday! She didn’t mentioned that on thursday we tried for the first time “spinning”… and it’s so much fun!.. Working out not only help us be beter parents (less stressed out and a lot more calmer..) but we are the reloe models of our kids… if they see us taking care of ourselves… they will definetely do that later! it will be part of their life and routine!… I love it , it really makes me feel stronger…and sexier too! Rachel (my great friend!) – thank you for joining me in this fun adventure – perhaps next time we can also try – hip hop!!!

That one is easy. I just did my first 35-mile bike ride with friends, very tough hills…..went camping, kayaking and hiking last week. at home i go to the gym at least 6 days a week for spin, yoga, and weights.

i’m a much better parent because of it!! gotta get it all out and feel better.

keep on kickboxing!!

I have a Curves membership…which I don’t get to use in the summer because I do not have child care…but I hope to get back in August when I return back to work and my daughter goes back to school.

I really should consider joining a regular gym…with men…so maybe I won’t be single forever.

Way to go!! Kickboxing can kick your butt in the begininng, but it is always an awesome workout.
I used to be in amazing shape. I was in the Marine Corps so it came with the job.
I’ve recently picked up running again. Training for a 5K in February. My first one!! It’s hard as a single parent to find the time, but I’ve noticed the kids getting into it too. We take turns holding each other’s legs while we do sit-ups. It’ SO nice to get the kids to realize how good exercising is for you!

Keep up the great work!!!

I teach a boot camp class and you are so right—the men show up once and never come back! They cannot stand being schooled by all the strong women!

and as a former single mom, I know just how hard it is to maintain fitness when going it alone—but even the smallest efforts add up.

keep on kicking!
