Mother Love Fitness Challenge


Mother of All Fitness Challenges Gets Moms Moving
Baby Boot Camp's 2009 "Mother Love Fitness Challenge: Starts Feb 2

New moms in Huntington Beach and across the nation aren't letting their New Year's resolutions fizzle. Instead they're signing up for Baby Boot Camp's 2009 "Mother Love Fitness Challenge" where they'll spend the next three months focusing on strengthening their hearts, bodies and communities.

"It's a popular misconception that once the new year begins everyone becomes magically committed to improving their health and fitness. But finding the time and establishing a routine is a common obstacle. Mothers of infants and preschoolers may find if especially hard to hit the gym. Babysitters are expensive and many moms worry their kids will catch (or share) the latest flu or cold bug at a gym's childcare center.

Fortunately there's Baby Boot Camp. Moms bring their children in strollers and get a boot camp style workout while their children enjoy the ride. Delivered by nationally certified fitness professional, classes consist of cardiovascular drills and strength training exercises all geared to get moms fit. The "Bring your baby. Get fit." program is throwing down a fitness challenge to moms across the nation. Baby Boot Camp is calling all moms (dads and caregiver may participate too!) to commit to three months of "Mother Love" - meaning regular exercise in a supportive environment with some elements of competition and philanthropy thrown in to make it the mother of all fitness challenges.

The Mother Love Fitness Challenge begins Feb 2 ends Apr. 30, 2009. Each month has a focus:

February: Cardio Love! - Baby Boot Camp classes will be geared toward increasing cardiovascular endurance after holiday inactivity. Classes will emphasize power walking, jogging and interval drills.

March: Strong Bodies! - The goal is to increase strength and physical confidence. Classes will incorporate 3 specific exercises that students will do to fatigue: push-ups, plank and jump squats.

April: Give Back! - This month's focus is more about improving the health of Mother Earth. Students will earn Planet Points for doing things that benefit the planet and their communities, such as bringing reusable bags to the grocery store or donating used clothes. In addition they will raise funds to benefit Healthy Child: Healthy World (http://www.healthychild.org/), a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the health and well being of children from harmful environmental exposures.

"I'm excited to start the Baby Boot Camp Fitness Challenge," says Danae LaTrobe. "I've been anxious to lose the extra baby weight and get super fit. This event gives me the extra motivation I need to come to class regularly so I won't let my team down, plus I'll be modeling heatlhy behavior for my child. I can't lose in a challenge like this!"
