Living the Fit Life

For those of you who don't know Erin, just 5 years ago she walked through the doors of LP looking to find a new gym after having her second baby. Trying to squeeze in 3 workouts/week into her family's crazy schedule. She was a newbie to the gym world learning the difference between sets and reps, barbells and dumbbells and sooo much more!

Let's just say, a few years later, she has transformed her mindset and approach to fitness and health. Scheduling her workouts into her daily and weekly routine, following a plan and chasing after massive goals to push her own limits on what is possible!

Erin defined herself as a mom, a pharmacist and used fitness to stay healthy for her family. She now uses fitness to set crazy goals, build self confidence and to inspire her two girls Emmy and Lexi, her hubby Chris and the rest of her amazing family and community that she has built around her!

Tune in to Episode 38 to hear how Erin balances it all, finds the motivation, stays healthy and how she built a power house dream team around her to help her achieve her goals!

Most of us don’t relate pelvic floor therapy to sport performance, but we are here today to chat with Beth Halford, Owner of KW Pelvic Health about the importance of Pelvic Floor Health when it comes to sports, performance and overall health.

Like many of our bad ass Moms at LP, Beth is an amazing role model for her two young children and is crushing it in her career running her own Pelvic Floor Therapy Clinic...And not to mention she has quite the resume of athletic accomplishments...

It wasn't always meditation pillows and yoga mats...

As an actress, dancer and performer life can be quite hectic for Bethany Kovarik. From "in season" work of rehearsals and multiple shows a day to "off season", her days are jam packed and high stress or not packed at all with plenty of time to think.

Being a performer, Bethany fills us in on what this lifestyle is like and how each day/season can bring some serious highs and some serious lows. And it was this instability that brought her to her yoga mat. Looking back, yoga was something that helped her heal some personal issues and guided her in creating a solid building block for herself. 

Coming back to her mat, yoga practise helps her with her mental, physical and emotional strength. And she now helps others feel the same. Listen in on Podcast Episode 29 and hear all about how Bethany was able to introduce some amazing self care practices in such a high performing lifestyle.
