BROWNSUGAMAMA: Getting Active With In The Dance Fitness & Yendi Phillipps! [video]

yendijuly2014 (4)It's been 2 months, and #BROWNSUGAMAMAhood has been quite the journey! We're getting to the point where Layla the Little Magician is starting to form some semblance of a sleep schedule - nowhere hear through the night, but at least she's starting to understand the difference between sunrise and sunset. As for me, I had a great 6 week check-up and have started to ease back into my workout regime. How did I kick off my return to the land of sweat, muscle soreness, and fighting the urge to skip workouts when my Nike Training Club app reminds me? By getting in the dancehall groove with Yendi Phillipps' In The Dance Fitness class - the Tdot return!

We talked then about natural hair, her life as a dancer/beauty queen/TV show host/model/media personality/mommy, and obviously chatted about her In The Dance Fitness project, merging her love of dance with a fun workout you can do in the comfort of your own home. Yendi returned to Toronto in July to give us more dancehall goodness, to tape In The Dance Fitness 2 (yes!), and to fill in as a guest host on Global News'  The Morning Show!

As busy as she was, I managed to have another fun interview convo caught on camera with the hilarious and beautiful chica after sweatin' it out in dance class. Take a peek at Yendi and I, glistening and glowing straight out of the dance studio - talking about motherhood, tips for getting active post-baby, what's next for In The Dance Fitness, and more!

Bonus: catch my dance moves and Little Magician joining in the fun too!
