How did you find FIT4MOM?

Instagram or Facebook

What is/was your career?

I was a landman (oil & gas) for 8 years before becoming a full-time mommy.

How long have you been a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces, and what has it done for you?

Since October 2021. Being a member of FIT4MOM got me out of my boring gym routine and gives me something to do with my baby while my son is at school. It’s also been great meeting other moms with similar interests who I might not have otherwise had the opportunity to meet.

What is your favorite class exercise?

Anything involving squats and lunges.

What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?

That you’re a lot stronger than you think. Motherhood tests you in every way and it’s surprising all the things you’re capable of doing and handling.

What are three of your favorite things?

My family, good food, being on the water.

What is your proudest mommy moment so far?

Seeing how much my son loves his baby sister and how he’s always wanting to help take care of her.

What advice would you give to a new mother?

Give yourself grace and know that everything is a phase.

Anything else you'd like to add?

I’m so grateful to have found this community of wonderful moms supporting each other through fitness and this thing called motherhood!

We are so lucky to have Amara in our village. It wouldn't be the same without her and her kiddos!
