There are normally between 3000 and 5000 attendees at this conference, coming from all over the world.

When I started this journey, I believed my goals would be achievable in 5-10 years. It has been 2 1/2 years! Of course, none of this would be happening without the support of my husband and children.

For more information about the Mom and Baby Aquafit class or the IDEA World Fitness Conference 2009 please fill out my contact page on this website.

May this day move you!

It is very simple and requires 90 minutes of your time. It would be great if you could help them out!

Aquatic Fitness Instructors, Group Fitness Instructors and Kinesiologists are needed to lead various types of exercise classes. Previous experience with pre & post natal women is an asset, but not necessary.

Was it ever chilly up there!

I enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones. The presenters were fantastic! Canada has some of the best fitness presenters in the world. These are the same people who present at international conferences like IDEA. If you have a chance to go to a Can-Fit-Pro event – it is well worth the money.

So, I feel energized and very stable! My core had a rough go of it on Saturday but I felt great Sunday (despite Maureen Hagan’s best efforts). I learned a lot, remembered things I’d forgotten and, best of all, became a certified Pro-Trainer for Pre & Post Natal Fitness. Let me know if you need any fitness instructors or allied health professionals trained in Pre & Post Natal Fitness!

While I was busy becoming buff my husband and girls met Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at the Olympic Demonstration Site. If you watch “Family Jewels” keep an eye out for Gene in a bobsled with two little girls wearing glasses! You just never know what will happen in Whistler!

Speaking of the girls, I’d better go pick them up from their Granny’s house. I hope you had as fun a weekend as I did!

Yours in motion,

Leah

I just got back from presenting at “Ripple Effects” the 2007 Aquatics Provincial Workshop put on by the BCRPA. I had a great time catching up with a lot of you…there were still some people I would have liked to have talked to. Maybe next time!

Hopefully you had a good time at the conference. Kudos to Kara and Heather for a job well done!

If you have any questions or need to contact me please fill out the contact form on the website.

Keep moving!
