Can We Please Stop Fitness Shaming?

November 21, 2017 by Scarlett Ballantyne 1 Comment

Fitness Shaming

I was never a very athletic kid. I was always in the back half of those picked for teams, and while I tried hard, I wasn't great at team sports. I played for my elementary school basketball team in grades 7 and 8 (everyone made the team) and it was during my time on that team that I first … [Read more...]

I Went To Spin Class And It Was Basically A Rave On Wheels

April 7, 2017 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I tend to do many things at the same time because, let's face it, women are especially good at multi-tasking. For instance, I will help my kids with their homework while making dinner and paying the bills online. I will workout with friends so we can catch up while squeezing in some cardio. Recently … [Read more...]

Teens Working Out: How Much is Too Much?

January 19, 2017 by Scarlett Ballantyne Leave a Comment

Working out has never been my personal go-to for stress release or an endorphin rush. Learning how to incorporate a workout regime into my life has taken time and discipline, and is a practice that I wish I had started much earlier in life. As a teenager, I was only involved in sports for a short … [Read more...]

Two At the Top

November 25, 2013 by Amanda 4 Comments

I had her all to myself for her first two years. The thing is, she was pretty grumpy most of that time. Then her sister was born and the chaos doubled, and finally tripled when her youngest sister made an entrance. She has grown up so fast and can often slip under my radar as she requires less of … [Read more...]

Review: Zaggora Workout Hotpants

November 24, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

You may have heard of Zaggora or have seen them on the side of your Facebook page. The workout pants (aka Hotpants) that uses technology in their fabrics to help you burn more calories. Sounds too good to be true? I was skeptical but I was curious and I know many other women out there in our … [Read more...]

Exercise, I Hate You.

September 11, 2013 by Tracey 10 Comments

It's no secret. I've never enjoyed you in the classic sense, Exercise. And it's not me - it's you. Some people are of the idea that there's a gain with pain. When it comes to just about all things, my motto is: No pain? No pain. I much prefer pleasure. I'm a bit of a hedonist, you know. *sips … [Read more...]

‘Labour Day’ is the new ‘New Years Day’

August 28, 2013 by Ryan 3 Comments

I know that everyone has New Year resolutions but that is so yesterday, or should I say… so 9 months ago. I can’t tell you how many times I‘ve said, “This is my year; this is the year I eat better, drink less and exercise.” Inevitably by January 6th I’m back to my old ways and knee deep in powdered … [Read more...]

Charity Running

August 8, 2013 by Jason 1 Comment

Last year I had a wonderful experience running with other UrbanMoms for the Run for the Cure held every fall across Canada. Beyond the monies raised and the experience contributing to a worthwhile cause, this venture forced me to stick to a exercise program to ensure I could complete the five … [Read more...]

New Fitness Regime

July 26, 2013 by Ryan 1 Comment

I have let myself go over the past few years. I am way too heavy for a guy that stands at a very intimidating 5'6. I swear I am slowly turning into a sphere. My whole life I have been up and down in weight, unfortunately, more up than down. Here is how the last 20 years have gone. Teenager: … [Read more...]
