We know the drill. Have a kid or two, feel lumpy and soft. You want to exercise, but where do you find the time or an affordable class or gym?
A couple of years ago, we both started training with Dustin Maher through his MamaTone group fitness classes for moms. We can’t say enough about the experience—particularly the fact that it’s great to work out with gals of all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels who know what you’re going through. Dustin’s created a fun and supportive community atmosphere in his MamaTone fitness classes at Supreme Health club, and it’s fantastic to have a workout that is geared toward women’s bodies and getting us mommies back in shape fast. We’ve come to believe that we deserve to carve out time for focused exercise, as it makes us feel and look better, and helps us cope with and de-stress from the everyday aspects of momhood. That’s good stuff.
Together with the gals at Bean Sprouts cafe, we’ve created a monthly mommy chat. It’s an opportunity to gather, grow your community of moms, and talk about topics that are of interest to you. This month’s Coffee Talk, at Bean Sprouts, is loaded with inspiration and tips to make getting into shape easy. Dustin will teach 5 body-transforming
exercises you can easily do at home—whether watching the kids in the yard or Oprah on TV. He’ll also advise on exercises to avoid (yes mamas, it’s crunches!), and share nutrition tips on the top metabolism-boosting foods you can eat. You may have heard of Dustin; his fitness advice has been featured on local news casts for NBC, ABC, and CBS, as well as on Wisconsin Public Radio. He’s also founder of Fit Fun Bootcamps, and has recently launched a series of workout videos.

Dustin Maher, Madison’s best trainer helps a lot of people with their fitness goals and should be your first stop if you want to get started working out, up your workout, or meet a certain fitness goal.

Great group of women, one-on-one attention from Dustin—and it’s a blast! There are so many times per week that this class goes on, that even if kids get in the way of you making a certain class, there is another time available where you can get your workout in…

Dn Dn DNNNNNNNNNN! Bathing suit season is approaching, and below are some words of encouragement from Dustin on how you can quickly get back to pre-winter shape.
The extra winter pounds that were gained throughout the past few months can be taken off before June rolls around. Here are some ideas to get you or your friends and family into summer shape.
- Cut out all processed chips, cookies, and candy.
- Cut out all diet or regular soda.
- Don’t eat seconds
- Weight train 3 days a week.
- Find a workout buddy
- Join a gym
- Hire a trainer
- Do high intensity cardiovascular training
- Get at least 7 hours of sleep
- Instead of going out to dinner and a movie, take a hike around a lake or park
Watch for our post coming up on Dustin’s Summer Boot Camps where you can get your workout on outside! He’ll have you using the park, and park equipment to tone up for summer! Something you can always do when you take your family to the park.
You can learn more about him in the bio under FitMama on our site. His website is undergoing renovations…

Dustin, a local personal trainer has put together a post with some information to give you help when reading food labels in the grocery store. Below are his tips, and a notice for his grocery tour this Thursday:
—Manufacturers spend millions of dollars each year in research to find what buzz words and types of labeling will make people want to buy food that is bad for them. Here are a couple of deceptions I want to shed light on.
1. Wheat Bread: Sounds healthy right? Better than white bread right? Wheat bread is just white bread that has been food colored and fortified with some vitamins and minerals. You don’t get any of the fiber and natural benefits of whole wheat.
2. Whole Wheat Bread: Sounds good right? Kinda, it is much better than wheat or white, but in order for it to say “Whole Wheat” there needs to only contain 50% of the grains to be “whole” Please only buy 100% Whole Wheat Bread.
3. Multigrain: Hmm multigrain, having many grains… sounds good right. No, multigrain just means there are different types of grains, most of which are probably refined grains!
4. 0 Trans Fats: Many products that say 0 trans fats really do have some trans fat. How do they get away with this? They make the serving size small enough so that there contains .5 grams or less of trans fat per serving. If you want to know for sure read the ingredients, if the words “Hydrogenated or Partially Hydrogenated Oil” appears, you know trans fats will be in them.
5. No Fat: Pam Spray says that a serving contains no calories and no fat! That is because a serving is a 3 second spray! In reality there contains over 1600 calories of fat in the can and is 100% fat!
6. 80% lean ground beef. Sound pretty lean doesn’t it? 80% lean refers to the weight of the meet, not the calories. 80% lean is actually 72% fat and 28% protein. Doesn’t sound as good anymore does it? Even 93% lean contains 45% fat by calories. When buying red meat look for 97% lean and cook and rinse off the fat the best you can.
These are just a few of the many deceptions the food labeling companies use.
This week I will be holding two grocery shopping tours to teach people how to shop smart and how to shop to maintain or lose weight! I still have a few spots available in each one. They take place at Copp’s on Whitney Way near Odana. Thurs Nov 1st at 9:30 AM and Sat Nov 3rd at 9 AM. The cost is only $20. You will receive many helpful handouts as well. I encourage you to bring a spouse or friend along! We will look at foods that you buy on a regular basis and find out if you are “falling victim” to the manufactures deception. A grocery shopping list will also be provided and a helpful gift will also be included. Email me immediately if you want to reserve a spot!

Have a great week and talk to you soon!
