BodyRocker Tiffanie mom of 7 – Team USA and Burpees in Vina Del Mar

Hi Freddy and Zuzana!

My name is Tiffanie. I’m currently living in Santiago, Chile but am from Utah, USA. I’m a 34 year old mother with 7 kids. We just found out we’re expecting again and I’m excited for my first BodyRock Baby! I’m going to make this one my best pregnancy yet. I’ve always kept up with exercising during pregnancy but usually let my diet go and thus have gained more than I needed to. I was inspired by Bodyrocker Jennifer’s post on healthy choices and her pregnancy experiences. Thanks to all Bodyrockers for their stories and inspiration!

I’m a firm believer that having a family doesn’t mean the mom is destined to be overweight, overwhelmed, and tired. Mom’s can be fit, happy and healthy. My goal is to stay strong so that I can keep up with all these kids when they are active teenagers and beyond. Again from Jennifer, I’m excited to be able to share clothes with my teenage girls! I don’t have my 6 pack yet, but I know I’ll get there after this baby. BodyRock TV has helped me solidify that vision – I can stay strong and healthy as I grow older. I’m not going to let life give me reasons to give up on my goals – rather with all the things to juggle I can become even stronger and more determined to achieve my personal goals.

My husband and I were told by many people to wait to have kids, cause once you do, you’re stuck – no more traveling, no more achieving your personal dreams, you have to give that up for the normal life, housework, and a 9-5 job. We’re don’t accept those sterotypes – that’s the message I get from BodyRock – don’t accept what others say about “the way it is”. We are all free to choose what we want to be – it’s up to us! My husband wanted to travel, I wanted a family, and we are doing both. We spent time last year living in Costa Rica and are currently living in Santiago, Chile. Here’s a post from our blog (to keep in touch with family) of how I came across BodyRockTV and my experience so far.

Bodyrock TV has been such a huge blessing for me since we’ve been living abroad, so I want to say thanks so much for what you do! I can get in a great workout everyday that pushes me hard, doesn’t take hours of my time, and it doesn’t matter where I am ~ I can get it done and move on with my day.

Cheers to the Home Workout Movement! Love it!

    If you can stay fit with 7 kids, I should definitely be able to do it with all this studying to get into medical school. Thank you for the motivation! :) Another amazing bodyrocker.

    Hello Tiffanie! So great to see people bodyrocking in Chile. I’m a chilean living in Los Angeles Ca and also bodyrocking from here. You are really inspiring other moms!
    Best regards and enjoy that beatiful city of Vina del Mar. I miss those beaches!!!

    Tiffanie, you story is delightful and your children are adorable. My husband and I are looking to live abroad – surely if you can do it with that crew, we could! We are heading to Ecuador this weekend to check things out. Blessings for you, the new baby and your family.

    Congrats on #8! What a fun family adventure… My family travelled a lot while we were kids and it gave me such a great perspective on life and all the different people in it, how they live, and what luxuries I had. Good for you guys! I’m from Utah also :) Thank you for posting this, because you’re right… so many women think they are destined to be fat, tired and harried. And we all know how easy it would be to do just that! Keep on BodyRockin!

    Way to go Tiffanie! This is great inspiration for all Mom’s out there including me! We shouldn’t let ourselves go after childbirth because after all we have to take care of ourselves for our kids :) Thank you for sharing :)
