Hey Chicks,<\/p>\n

I can’t believe we starting another session of bootcamps<\/a> this week (time flies when having fun!) and also our first round shakin’ our tail feather with Zumba(r) by FIT CHICKS<\/a> at our Toronto King & Bathurst and Don Mills locations<\/a> – woot woot!\u00a0 Not only that but I am gearing up to head back to Mexico <\/a>(yes you read correctly, I am going back!) on Saturday for another long standing bestie of 22 years’ wedding…the fabulous Jenn!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"FIT<\/a>

My Favorite Peddy!<\/p><\/div>\n

Now that my Mexican Beer Dermitis<\/a> is healing and my post holiday bloat has gone down, I am excited for another week of fun in the sun<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 Last time, I forgot a staple to my holiday planning…my pedometer<\/a>!\u00a0 Why is it so important?<\/strong> Because it keeps me active, burning calories and allows me to balance in an extra margarita (or 2!:) if I really get to steppin’.<\/p>\n

My goal is to always get in 10 000 steps \/ day which is equivalent to about 5 miles and 500 calories burned<\/strong>.\u00a0 On site seeing days, I can log in approx 25 000 steps if I am really on the go.\u00a0 I love it because it helps remind me to get moving and makes sure I am real with myself about my activity.\u00a0 Now how it will look clipped to my bikini is a whole other story \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now if you don’t think you could walk 10000 steps \/ day, it is a great challenge<\/a> for yourself and will prove for great fitness and weight loss results too (you will be addicted to your peddy after – I promise!).\u00a0 Check out my video below talking about our next Pedometer Challenge starting May 7th<\/a> so you can see how steppin’ can keep you on track too!<\/p>\n
