\nFirst of all, I don\u2019t strive for balance \u2013 I\u2019ve learned to dance through the chaos of my own life. But I have also learned, in my 40s, to allow myself to be equally as important as everyone else in my family. I make myself a priority, I carve out \u201cme time\u201d \u2013 and I\u2019m a better mother and woman because of it.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/X0q1BF4g.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
\nI have learned to be brave enough to carve out time to crush all of my goals. I do less things that are not important to me so that I can carve out more time for the things that mean most, like family, community, friendship, health, and wellness.<\/p>\n
\nI try to lead by example. My children have grown up watching their mom teach a class and inspire other women around the world. They know that I love it and that I am committed to a healthy lifestyle \u2013 and hopefully some of those lessons translate into their own lives.<\/p>\n
\nOh, the holidays! It\u2019s absolutely a time of indulgence so I up my cardio, I drink more water than wine, and I balance the decadence of the holidays by working out harder. Holidays are a time to celebrate and enjoy, so I don\u2019t deprive myself of those pleasures.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2qe-eisQ.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
\nI am all about self-care. That\u2019s how I survive such a demanding lifestyle. I love to create a homemade spa with Epsom salt baths, drops of lavender or eucalyptus, candlelight, and relaxing playlists. At this stage of my life, I am learning to value time alone. I read at night instead of losing myself in mindless TV, I make sure that I get enough zzzs, and I carve out time to sit in my own personal space to check in and take care of myself. Creating a rest nest is so valuable.<\/p>\n
\nI love lounging at home in soft, oversized sweats and a yummy white tank top with the perfect cup of coffee with frothed milk in hand and a moment alone to set myself up for success. These are the kind of powerful, beautiful moments that help me dictate my day and remind me that I get to write my own story.<\/p>\n

\nThis lightweight equipment is easy to use anywhere and what I love most is that you can get these workouts done in the privacy of your living room. The moves are dynamic with just the right amount of challenge so you\u2019re working multiple body parts, which means quicker results in less time. I know how valuable time is to all of us!<\/p>\n
\nBe patient with yourself and be compassionate. When starting something new, it takes a few tries for coordination to kick in.<\/p>\n
