Featured Business: Lindsay Brin - Moms Into Fitness

When my family decided to expand, I was on the hunt for things that could
help me feel better during my pregnancy. I had a very difficult first pregnancy
and I was determinded to look after my body (and mind) better this time
around.

I came across Lindsay's DVD set and was excited to give it a try!

I found Lindsay's DVD relaxing and easy to follow along. I found it a good
mix of relaxing breathing exercises and phyisical extercise that when I
completed the quick 20 (or so) minute exercies, I felt refreshed and ready to
take on the rest of my day.

I found that during that exhausting 1st timester phase, it would give me a
boost of energy and the 2nd trimester exercies kept me motivated and focused on
my body rather than my morning sickness. I am now enjoying the 3rd trimester
work out as it helps relieve back pain, hip pain and helps me get past the
'waddle' stage I seem to be enjoying at the moment.

If you are looking to expand your family, are expecting, or have a friend
that is expecting, this DVD set is a great mix of yoga and workout to keep you
feeling your best during your pregnancy!

The Ispiration

I've always worked with women and pregnancy is an amazing thing! There
weren't enough fitness programs for mothers, and the ones I did find were still
using ACOG's guidelines from 1987. Having always wanted to produce fitness DVDs
(I grew up watching Denise Austin) I just knew it was something I had to do.

What is the most rewarding thing about being a mom running your own
business?

Being able to help moms and make them feel better about themselves.

What advice would you give to someone considering starting their own
business?

I'm still trying to figure out how to balance work from home and being a
stay-at-home mom! But I think I would advise a mom to have her own work space
and designate times she has to work (and not be mom too).

What's your motivation?

New ideas.

Where do you see your business in 5 years?

I've been lucky enough to work with some of the best people in the business.
I hope that helps my creativity to reach moms in new ways. And I'd like to keep
growing of course!

What is the most valuable lesson you have learned as a working mom {so
far}?

Put my children first, not my business. Now I just need to follow that lesson
everyday
