If I think back to that first year of motherhood, I remember my circle of mom friends. We’d meet literally in circle, squatting, crunching and hanging out in plank. I didn’t realize it at the time but these women and the mama who was leading our workout kept me sane during that long sleep-deprived year when I wanted desperately to feel like my old self – mentally and physically.

This week our Mom in T.O. is one of the best-known personal trainers and women’s fitness experts in Toronto. Dara Duff-Bergeron, Founder and Head Trainer of Belly Bootcamp, brings together moms across the city and inspires them through her workouts created specifically for those new-mom areas that need special attention and extra strength. The mom-of-three shared her story and what she loves about Toronto with and without kids in TOw on www.momsinTO.com

I absolutely love her “Perfect Day Alone” — and she’s inspired me to do some more urban hiking. Stay tuned.
