When this article about how crossing the midline helps kids was posted in the Fit2B member forum, it generated deep discussion. It also created calls for us to produce a midline-crossing video for our Fit2B Kids section of workouts. What our members said about midline crossing “We do some of these with my son! He […]

My daughter was almost 11 when this course started to materialize in my mind. It happened because hundreds of other moms in the Fit2B Forum kept getting angry: “All I got was sex-ed in high school, but by then I’d used tampons wrong and had horrible posture! Why can’t anyone teach about those things? Beth, […]
The same day I saw a sponsored post for fidget spinners while surfing online, both of my children (ages 8 and 11) came home from school begging for one! Available in a variety of colors and patterns and ranging in price from $2 – $300 and up (because we could all use a gold fidget […]

I felt like I could see her body fold into itself – knees not wanting to straighten, shoulders rounding – as her bones literally grew faster than her muscles and […]
Think about it: Even as grownups, we don’t just hop in bed, shut off the lights and fall asleep. We chat with our mate, read a book, maybe watch a short show, write in a journal, and take a while to get our own wiggles out. Children are no different, and actually they have so much […]
You don’t have to turn your home into an athletic club to encourage fitness and wellness in your environment.

We know you’ve always wanted to hear Bethany sing and teach your kids some anatomy, right? Okay, at least that’s a yes to the second. We normally sing it like this: You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out… but in our version, the lyrics are changed to basic anatomical terms […]

Do you ever just sit back and watch your kids do “dangerous” stuff? Of course, I’m not talking about playing with fire, but I’m just about the furthest thing from a helicopter parent because I believe kids are capable. One of the many reasons we moved to a 7 acre farm in the countryside with […]

My daughter spent a healthy amount of time this weekend with her cousins while I did the Portland to Coast Walking Relay. We ended up having a spontaneous aerobic dance party in the car after I retrieved her and my sister’s kids from my parents. Later we looked those silly songs up on youtube and […]
