The News:

Fit2B Radio has a NEW member spotlight podcast out, and it’s a deep one. We interviewed Marissa Froese who has been through breast cancer and now spine cancer. She’s been told she is dying, but she keeps moving and says, “You don’t stop just because someone tells you you’re not going to make it.”

The Moves:

Our sample workout for the month of May is Hippy Yoga. Scroll down to try it out!

Imagine what it would be like to live with a prognosis of imminent death. How would you live? How would you parent? How would you eat and exercise? Listen in as we talk to Marissa Froese of Wyndelin Farms in Nova Scotia, Canada.

On A Personal Note…

I have started my training season for race walking, and I’m working with a coach to hone my technique. I’m entered in two relay races, and she’s trying to get me to join USA Track & Field and do some official time trials… this scares me. 

Up until now, my walking has been recreational. She sees speed in me and a future as an “official athlete.” Funny how I’ve always thought that professional athletes must always start as children. I know we can begin recreational athletics at any age, and the sky is the limit as to how many new things we want to try as we get older… but she’s talking olympic time trials and 35k distances, and I’m not sure I wanna!

Right now, I’m planning to go through this season, do the two relays with my race walking team, and observe how her additional coaching plays out when my shoe rubber actually hits the road, not just a race track. My best time last year was 6 miles at a 10:08/min/mile average. We did an unofficial time trial this past week that paced me at a 9:52… If that actually happens during a race, then maybe… It’s kinda cool to be 44 and still getting faster as I continue to show up and do the technique work. 

The same goes for you too: As you show up and do the little things, improve your alignment, get help when you’re stuck, move your body some way each day, it will pay off. Yesterday, I took a premium member call from a client who slowly worked o her squatting form, and now she can squat deeper in her 40’s than she could in her 30’s! 

See you in the workouts,

About ‘hippy yoga’

Strengthen and stretch those tight, sore hips with this gentle yet thorough “hip” focused exercise routine that begins standing and ends on the floor. Like all of our specialized routines, I practiced this flow of exercises with a group of women whose hips were giving them fits, making sure it could really help before filming it. Member Valerie W. said this about it. “I finally tried “Hippy Yoga” this morning and wow! It is my new fave! My 4yo joined me, too. Our family is going through a big transition currently and a lot of things are just heavy right now. This was a beautiful workout and the sweet doggies just brought an extra element of comfort. Thank you, Beth!”

Exercise Q & A with Beth

Question about Splinting Weak Abs from Kelly:I’m finally on the mend from some medical set backs that left me relatively inactive for the last 12 ish months or so. My core is borderline jello at this point. I plan to splint while working out. I have the tummy team splint although I may have outgrown it this past year. I’m wondering if anyone uses shapewear tanks for gentle all day support? And if there is a brand you would recommend. My health gave me some set backs that caused some home neglect — I was finally feeling up to cleaning kitchen but even just standing to do some housework was a lot for my core at this point.

Answer from Beth: Yay for being on the mend! Yay for already having a splint for your abs. Yay for noticing that housework is a “core workout.” Shapewear can definitely work for lighter all day support IF – and only if – it’s actually lighter and not tighter. Any type of external support for your abdominal muscles should feel like a gentle hug, not like a python is squeezing you. You’re worth a new splint if the old one doesn’t fit anymore + some shape-wear that helps you feel held together, however both of those props should only be used in conjunction with restorative exercises. You’ll want to wean yourself off your splint/shapewear a little at a time, starting in a few weeks. The best time to go without it is during your Fit2B exercises when you have our cues to stay aware while you’re “splintless.” And be sure to treat housework like it’s own workout, staying aligned and engaging with exertion. You’ve got this!

Testimony of the week

“Fit2B has played a huge role in helping me close my diastasis recti and strengthen my pelvic floor after prolapse. There were a few years when I didn’t think I’d ever be able to carry a backpack on a walk or a sleeping child into the house, or help my husband move furniture without serious concern, if at all. But that is no longer an issue for me!” 

–Kelley A.

May Spotlight: Kelly Dean

Kelly is our biggest content contributor and pretty much the main motivator for making Fit2B “diastasis aware. She provided my own ab rehab back in 2011 which was the catalyst for changing my approach to fitness. Not only has she contributed lessons to our Fit2B Girls course, ProActive Perimenopause course, Experts in Diastasis Recti course, and several blogs. She has mentored me, encouraged me, held me accountable, and I’m so grateful to her!

Our podcast with Kelly

“I love that Fit2B is REAL–real clothes, real homes, offices, real props, etc. It makes it more manageable. Customer service is AWESOME and Beth is a great teacher and good motivator.”

Laura D.

“This evening, I did Orange Oxygen and the new ball routine which will forever be known to me as ‘The workout formerly known as Brainy Ballz’ I’ve never done any of the ball routines because they just didn’t jump out at me, but my girls requested them, so we tried them. The new one was really fun and the kids all loved that even Miss Beth drops her ball sometimes!”

– Kathleen B.

“I have been blessed by the Postnatal Course I purchased through Fit2B! It’s hard to put it into words but basically I’m slowly getting my body back but also accepting my new body. Thank you for how careful and positive you are with both your actions and your words. This has truly been an answer to prayer.”

-Anna H.

“I love Lazy Weights so much! Not only does it fit my usual speed of needing to squeeze in a workout somewhere between working full time and homeschooling, it’s especially helpful right now as I keep dislocating a metatarsal and need to minimize time on my feet.”

Karen R.

“I love that you can tell that Beth cares so much about each of us as we’re working on getting fitter. I love that she doesn’t just go with mainstream advice of doing more crunches, (that clearly isn’t working) but has educated herself on how the body is truly working so that we can truly get fit. And that she provides workouts that people at any fitness level can do no matter how much exercise equipment you own, how much time you have, etc. I also love every time she suggests using a cooperative cat if you don’t have dumbbells.”

-Emily V.

“Wow! Just did Perky Peach and I loved it! I was concerned about my knees, but my bolster worked perfectly! Perky 🍑 and my thighs are on 🔥 I did follow up with Pink Piriformis and that felt great!”

-Sara H.

“I accomplished something incredible today!!! I did the Fusion Mix on Fit2B and could actually do the head stand!! I thought- “no way in this world will you be strong enough” but I guess 9 months of fit2b and Kelly Dean’s core foundation class last December really did help me more than I ever thought! I feel soooooooooo accomplished! I came into Kelly’s class feeling broken forever and with daily back pain and lots of random numbness and now that I stretch and strengthen slower I’m so much stronger!! I’m so thrilled today!!” (Members: watch Andrea’s headstand video in the Fit2B forum here)

-Andrea G.

“If it wasn’t for thia workout, I’d still be flat on my back after putting it out yesterday! I couldn’t stand straight, and walking was out od the question. I was so happy that I could walk again after doing this routine!”

I’m thankful for Fit2b because Beth always reminds me “smile you are moving! Everything counts”. My favorite workout is probably 21 ToneUp. I love the basic aerobics series as well.”

-Melanie E.

“I did a 40 minute workout today. With weights. That’s the longest I’ve been able since before cancer treatment. Felt tired but good. It feels good. But now I have to remember that just because I did that today, doesn’t mean it will be the same tomorrow. I already know that tomorrow I’ll do a gentle stretching workout and then cardio the day after. Fit2B gives me these options without having to think too much about it.”

-@marissa.froese on IG

“I just did Green Gertie this morning with my new-to-me 25 lb kettlebell. Wow! I love the education along with the workout. I felt safe the whole time and could feel when to modify or take a break. This was awesome, thanks!

—Casey C.

“Found a rebounder yesterday at Goodwill for $15, so did rebounding today! Love it! My girls, 7 and almost 9 loved it too! They all smiled or laughed the whole way through. My older girl also did black battlesticks. She was super pumped by the moves she learned with her brothers’ drumsticks, guess I’m going to have to try that one next! Thanks Beth!”

-Meg C.

“I finally tried “Hippy Yoga” this morning and wow! It is my new fave! My 4yo joined me, too. We both loved Winston and Mandy’s presence and participation. Our family is going through a big transition currently and a lot of things are just heavy right now. This was a beautiful workout and the sweet doggies just brought an extra element of comfort. Thank you, Beth!” -Valerie W.

“I don’t have a trampoline but I’ve been loving the rebound videos. I just bounce on my toes on my mat and do a little adapting as needed. I also like the water aerobics one out of water!😊 that one really gets my heart rate going!” -Jessica H.

“I was leaning toward aerobics 2 which isn’t easy for me at this point, per se, but is in my comfort zone. My younger kids (7 and 4) pushed me to the color series and then to Blue Belt. honestly, I was reluctant. I LOVED it! They did it with me, which was a bonus.” 

—Mandy T.

“Was not feeling up to the workout I thought I would do tonight, but then I remembered Lazy Weights and it was perfection. I love that there is a workout for every mood and time, not just workouts that assume we always need to go hardcore 100 percent of the time.”

-M. Brander

Fit2B Member Testimony: I started my weight loss and Diastasis Recti healing journey on July 4th of this year. After YEARS of making excuses. We moved in with my parents in 2020 while we built and my bad habits became worse, but when we were finally able to settle into our new home, I made my health a priority. This is the product of daily walking and/or fit2B workouts and clean eating. I’ve lost 24lbs and 6 inches off my waist. And my gap is down to two fingers from four. Beyond that, the strength I have gained is immeasurable. I can actually FEEL my abs. And that is HUGE for me! I have a ways to go in terms of where I want to be, but I just can’t thank Beth and her team enough for both the program and her accessibility (I literally message her almost every day). But also for all the encouragement she and this group provide." -Kelly Mayhorn

“I’m 6 weeks postpartum and my midwife actually checked for diastasis at my appointment! Just wanted to share because my mom went through 9 pregnancies before even learning about it, so I was excited that my midwife knew about it. She checked it by my belly button and said it was about a 1(finger width). I did fit2b throughout my pregnancy and I’m excited to keep going!” –Elizabeth B.

“I have tried so many different programs and workout routines for the last 35 years or so and never have I ever felt so confident that I have the choice to do the right thing to care for my body…it honestly can bring me to tears. Thank you, Beth! I’m starting with ‘Orange Openers‘ this morning!”-

Tricia M.

“I’m so grateful for this group and what you created, Beth! My 8 year old daughter is so curious about her body and what will happen as she gets older. Like so many, I grew up with shame around these “private” matters and wouldn’t have even dared to ask about them. I have the language and the resources to talk to her about the amazingness that is a growing girl’s body. We’ve been going through the Fit2B Girls’ Course little by little as she asks about various things (when will her period start? Why do girls get a period? Does everyone get cramps? And so on and so forth). Thanks Beth and everyone here who is so open and honest!!”

-Cynthia D.

“Warning!! Do not I repeat Do not underestimate the effectiveness of Black Battlesticks. My legs and butt are sore today! Okay, carry on…”

-Charline L.

“I love Kelly’s Full Body Workout because I have a hard time going from one video to the next (there’s so much to choose from! I want to do it all!), so I appreciate having the stretching on both ends of the video.”

Allegra C.

"I had a four finger gap from the birth of my twins. It's kind of hard to tell but seems to be at a two now. (Was at a four right before I started fit2B) So happy I found fit2B. I actually like working out now and am feeling so much healthier and stronger." -K. Shaw, Fit2B member

“I just happened to stumble across Chunky 5×5 Fitness in the A-Z section this morning and decided to give it a try. I loved it!! I did all the sections as one workout, but can very easily see how it would be great on days where I have little bits of time throughout the day, but not 30 minutes all together. This may be a new favorite!”

-Carla M.

This evening, I did Orange Oxygen and the new ball routine which will forever be known to me as ‘The workout formerly known as Brainy Ballz’ I’ve never done any of the ball routines because they just didn’t jump out at me, but my girls requested them, so we tried them. The new one was really fun and the kids all loved that even Miss Beth drops her ball sometimes!”

– Kathleen B.

“If you need a lil’ something to work out the kinks after sitting a lot, try Silver SavasanaI had missed that one, but the stretches were just what I needed after working at the table most of the day. 😊 💕 Thanks Beth!”
-Jennifer M.
For all those who wonder if the little bitty changes you make day in and day out are doing anything…let me tell you-they ARE. Don’t give up. After my third was born I had a 6+ DR, super deep. I couldn’t stand up straight without supports. I couldn’t even pick up my newborn son. This weekend, my husband and I ran our first half-marathon. It’s been almost eight years since my youngest was born. I’ve done The Tummy Teams Foundations and then their Core Integrations program (four years apart!). Fit2b was my intro into healing my core. And foundational in building my confidence and knowledge of my body as a whole. I’ve also been consistent in getting help for my mental health, regular therapy is so valuable and necessary when wanting healing in any area of our lives. All this to say, don’t give up. We all hit road blocks. We all have sorrow and hardships. But in this healing process I have learned the value of failure. When we fail at something, it gives us an incredible opportunity to assess what went wrong and how we can do better. Keep going friends. ❤️💪🏻 YOU are worth it. And healing IS possible.

Top2Toes: Normally I do bigger workouts on Mondays but I’m honoring where I am today, which is that my kids gave me their germs 🤣 I’m sick but was feeling restless and antsy. This was the perfect amount of movement.”

“I love that I can do some of the Fit2B workouts in jeans and know that I’m still getting something from it!”

-Dara M.

Bedtime Relaxation with Kelly Dean was the perfect routine I didn’t know I needed, after a stressful week. P.S. I did it in the morning.”

“Doing these workouts by Fit2b and Beth Learn has helped me close my gap by 1 finger already. We’re looking at a month now, and it’s already closing. That’s phenomenal! She gives you so many neat cues! I am trimming down and closing my Diastasis with these workouts, and I can’t thank her enough!”
-Kelly M.
“I’ve been trying to eat healthier and move more since November last year, but life goes up and down, and so do the numbers on my scale, and in what, 8 months? I’ve only lost 2kg on the scales. But today I measured my legs (for a sewing thing) and thought, well since I’ve already done all of those measurements I might as well measure everything into my much neglected health app. And lo and behold, most of my measurements are smaller. According to the app I’m carrying a bit less water weight, AND I’ve gained almost a kg of lean body mass. That’s a kg of muscle!!! 😁😁😁 you guys have no idea how happy it makes me to know I’m growing muscles!” -Kristin W.
"PINK props pile! By the time I was done with the four non-biking Pink workouts, I had accumulated this pile of props. What fun! Beth, your creativity amazes and blesses me." -Desirae, Fit2B Member

Weightlifting 301 😲 I wasn’t sure I’d finish. I gave myself permission not to. I skipped the last half of the plank-fly combo because my legs wouldn’t properly hold my weight. I kind of wanted to see how it ended so I pushed forward, doing fewer reps or even skipping sets if needed. I got to the end. Everything that can shake is and I’m a hot, sweaty mess. Not sure when/if I’ll come back to it, but at least I know. I CAN.”  –Bethany V.

“I tried out Sterling Center and Shining Savasana to relax tonight. Loved both of them! Beth, you look so pretty in these silver videos!” -Erin H.

“I just tried Rebound Cardio and…that was the most fun I’ve had on my rebounder, ever! 😁 I loved it! I was putting off trying it because I didn’t know how my pelvic floor would handle it, but there was a lot of variation in the intensity and I’m glad I gave it a go! Beth, I loved the music too – so fun!”
-Jennifer M.

“I’m feeling pretty darn proud of myself. I’ve done a routine every day for the past 3 days during my kids nap time which is the most consistently I have ever done anything fitness related! Kept it easy today with a stretching routine but on previous days I did the walking routine as well as Basic Aerobics. I like the way that amount of exercise makes me feel.” -Courtney C.

“The variety alone is reason to join! There are workouts that are gentle and slow for tired or rough days, there are workouts that are the complete opposite that will get you sweating and working! The creativity of the workouts… you’d never be bored!” – Ericka I.

“Seriously thankful for the kid workouts today! We are in quarantine with my husband having covid (not serious). Kids are bouncing off the walls – Beth to the rescue 😂 ” -Cynthia D.

“I love Fit2B because there is constantly more to do! I never get bored because there is always something new to try and so many ways to fit it into my lifestyle!” -Leslee O.

“Tonight, I thought I would try The Foam Rollaxing Routine as it’s helped me in the past with sore muscles. I feel so much better! I haven’t been able to get to the chiropractor this week because of a small cough, but now I’m thinking if I keep doing this routine (and probably one of the neck routines) then it will keep me from going crazy until I can get to the chiro.”

“11 days ago I asked for advice regarding what I suspect is a rectocele. Since then I have been doing a lot of Beth Learn’s breathing and core connection workouts, eating/drinking to resolve constipation, and saw a PFPT. I’ve still got work to do to correct and then maintain the situation, but I am thrilled to report significant progress in healing! Thank you for your input and support and encouragement.”

I always do a big/heavy weight routine on Monday afternoons, after school with my kids. I have upped my weights in the last little while, and I am feeling so proud to be able to do that! It feels SO good to be getting stronger, and to be feeling better. Couldn’t do it without Fit2b!!!!”

 —Nicole K.

“Tried 21 Tone Up for the first time today; gotta be honest it kinda kicked my booty! But, as usual, Beth made it doable with all of her tips and suggested modifications; I listened to my body and did my best. There was such a great quote in there, too! Something like you have to choose to focus on the right thing. So good. Definitely going to come back to this one.”

I knew nothing about core health until after the birth of my first child when I realized something wasn’t right with my stomach. After lots of online research, I found and joined Fit2B. Your workouts helped me understand and strengthen my body. I had an AMAZING postpartum experience with my second child, and I attribute so much of that to what I’ve learned from you.

“Rough day. woke up tired/drained. 1st forced workout of the day was cleaning up mounds of dog vomit that I was greeted with. Last-also forced workout was helping my husband break away ice off our roof at 9 pm because it was causing leaks in the house. Chosen workout was ‘Neck Routine‘ because i needed to get some of my tension out and relieve my headache. Grateful for it the routine!”

“I watched/listened to the replay of the menopause webinar today and it was excellent. Videoed a clip of Beth talking through heart attack symptoms in women [see video here in forum]. I continue to be so #thankful for Beth’s ♥️ for women and all she puts out into the world 🌎 I’m someone who has personally benefitted healthwise from her posts and knowledge. We women get so focused on caring for everyone around us that we put ourselves on the back burner and it’s. not. okay! We need a kick in the arse sometimes! Ask me how I know?! 🤣🤣

-Leslie G.

“I want to be a mom who is able and Fit2B got me there! My 7 year old was taken into the woods at a local park by a stranger yesterday — know what Fit2B gave me there? The strength and energy to sprint about 100 yards faster than the speed of lightening to get my son. I’m still not over that, but man does it feel good to have a working and able body.”

-K. Alexander

Hippy Yoga is my new favorite. Wow! I am so tight in so many of those areas! Great to have something to work towards for a while. I’m sure it will help me so much when I make some progress. I had no idea I was so tight in those areas. Like….so tight!! It is probably the source of my other sore areas and I’m looking forward to the relief I know will come when I’m a bit looser.”

“Thank you for Fit2B, but most of all, thank you for the encouragement you give. I received kettlebells for Christmas in 10lb, 15lb, and 20lb weights. Two days ago I did the Kettlebell I workout with the 10lb weight. Today, I could still feel the effects in my thighs and bum. This evening I did the first half of the Green Gertie workout, using the 15lb kettlebell. Wow! I’ll surely be feeling it for the next few days. Although I only made it through one set of Green Gertie, I watched the rest of the workout in order to pay close attention to your alignment and flow of movement. Then as the video was nearing the end, you said, “It’s only going to get better from here. You’re only going to get stronger from here.” I needed those words so much. Not because I only made it through the first set, but because it shifted my focus from the work to the long-term goal. I will keep coming back to the Green Gertie workout and know that each time I’ll get a little better and a little stronger. You have such a gift for encouraging people. You are amazing. Fit2B is amazing. Thank you and bless you for all you do!

“My kids had waaaay too much extra energy today, so we took a break and burned some of it off with Miss Beth. We did the Walking Workout, Basic Aerobics 1 and Kids’ Crossover.

“I did the dumbell routine with my 2 youngest today. Two year old started off with my 2 lbs and switched to a pen when they got heavy. 6 year old started with 5lbs and then moved to canned pineapples 😂 “

-Latoya E.

“This morning I was training a client at the gym. It was my second session with her, and I was really focusing on teaching her movement cues, and engaging the core properly during whatever part of the movement required the most effort, like you teach us. She’s a moderately fit, late-20’s, former competitive swimmer, no kids or DR issues, but half-way through our hour together she stopped and asked why her core was so shaky and tired when we hadn’t done a single ab exercise. I laughed and reminded her what I’d said at our first session: You can get an amazing ab workout in almost EVERYTHING you do without ever doing a crunch if you just engage your core properly through the movement. She was blown away and said no trainer or coach had ever taught her this, but she could FEEL that it was 100% true. Thank you, Beth, for not only helping me heal my body, but educating me so I can help others do the same. You’re truly changing the fitness world one body at a time.”

-M. Layaw

“I did Fuschia Fascia for the first time. By the end, I was crying with relief of letting some things go. Definitely confirmed it is time to move my career in another direction. So thankful for this workout and the joy movement brings!!” -Kelly G.

I have been doing bits and pieces of Ultimate Upper Body and Big Band Workout every day and being persistent, and I can now do 30 forward small arm circles, 30 backward small arm circles, 30 forward larger arm circles, and 30 backward larger arm circles all at once!!! I am really working on my upper back and I know that we all say how a weak core can cause back issues but I think I am realizing that my weak upper body was not helping my core. I am engaging so much easier now and everything’s just falling into place easier.”   

 -Alexandria P.

Still going through the Foundational 5 as I am still dealing with the flare up of seasonal allergies and asthma… I have an observation/victory to share: I do a TON of coughing. In the past I have had to do the leg cross to not leak when I got to coughing real hard and long. I have not once had a drop leak out. Also my abs and ribs are not sore this time around. Woohoo!    

-H. Wilson

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SPINNING! My 1st time! I have been needing to increase my activity & this is definitely one I will look forward to doing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Found a rebounder yesterday at Goodwill for $15, so did rebounding today! Love it! My girls, 7 and almost 9 loved it too! They all smiled or laughed the whole way through. My older girl also did black battlesticks. She was super pumped by the moves she learned with her brothers’ drumsticks, guess I’m going to have to try that one next! Thanks Beth!”

“My personal life has been a lot lately and I really let movement fall by the wayside, but last week I decided to get back into it. I started small with walking with my oldest and now today I did Lazy Weights. It was good to ease back into it and I am proud of myself for starting again because that’s the hardest part!
PS Lazy Weights is perfect if you need to do something but feel overwhelmed by doing something!”

    As much as I am so thankful for all that Fit2B is because of all of your hard work (and that of your team and your family), I’m also thankful you can write and say these things too (in response to “A relatable rant”)…cuz we all have days like this, or seasons. And as much as we need the content you produce, we also need to know that you are just like us! So thank you, thank you for ALL that you do, and thank you for not pretending to be something you’re not…I’m thankful for both!
