Anyone remember watching Superman the show with Dean Cain as Clark Kent? I know I had to have been young when it was on the air, but I specifically remember watching it with my mom and thinking how cool he was. The movie MAN OF STEEL™ is now playing in theaters and I know it’s one that both John and I would enjoy. Clark Kent is played by actor Henry Cavill and he was able to transform into his super hero role thanks to Mark Twight, Hollywood fitness trainer.

The transformation of Clark Kent to Superman is similar to the transformation of National Guard Citizen-Soliders – ready to transform when duty calls! Both are American icons who don the uniform in a flash. Want to transform too? With help from Mark Twight, the trainer who trained the cast and stunt crew for MAN OF STEEL™, you can train like a Soldier of Steel™ too!   

You can download a FREE one month training routine developed by Mark here: Soldier of Steel™ workout. One of the best features of the workout is that 23 tutorial videos are available for the exercises – learn how to do the moves right there! Fitness training webisodes, episodes watching Henry Cavill transform into the MAN OF STEEL™, National Guard exclusives, MAN OF STEEL™ movie exclusives, and more are all available! This really is a cool website to check out and I have to say I’m excited (and extremely intimidated) to do the Soldier of Steel™ workout!

Many of the exercises use functional body movements (hello burpees, frog hops, and air squats). And many of the workouts can be completed at home if you have a small home gym (pull up bar for dead hangs, a few dumbbells, and a box to jump on). There are sprints, ladders, pyramids, and more included too! Definitely looks like a sweat-inducing workout that will transform!

Have a fitness question for Mark Twight? On Thursday, June 20, Mark Twight will answer answer fan questions on the @NationalGuard Twitter handle. Follow the conversation from 3PM EST – 4 PM EST at #TwightTakeover.

I can’t even begin to tell you how fun this age is. Xander is full of personality, loves playing with his friends, is extremely active, and has a mind of his own. This month Xander went strawberry picking for the first time and also had a big trip to Ohio visiting Nana and Grandpa. To say he had a blast is an understatement. Mommy and Daddy were also able to go on their first date without baby!

Xander is eating more and more and we love that he’s able to tell us when he’s hungry. He will sign “more” followed by “eat” and then we know it’s time for a snack! He still nurses 4 times a day and we think we will introduce milk soon. He has his 15 month well-baby check-up next week, so we will talk that over with the pediatrician then. We’ve graduated him to toddler metal fork, as he is extremely good at spearing his food and the metal spears it even better. X still isn’t a fruit fan but we’re realizing he likes a good popsicle – so homemade fruit pureed/yogurt popsicle recipes will be abundant this summer, I think!

We visit the pool once a week and bought a family pass for the splash-park. He is such a water baby and I want to keep him exposed to it all summer long.

Can’t believe another month has passed so quickly – he’s the brightest light in our lives!

Meet Deelle

My name is Deelle. I am a wife, mom, personal trainer, body building athlete, fitness model, clean eating enthusiast, FitSavvy blogger and creator of award nominated Mother & Fitness – the #1 health and fitness blog in the Top Mommy Blog directory. This is a long list but everything on it is super important to me. I am a firm believer in doing things that make you happy. Yes, I am a mom but I am also human. I make sure I do the things I love to do, all while taking care of my family.

I go to the gym before my son gets up in the morning, I blog while he naps in the afternoon, I model or train people in the evenings and my weekends are reserved for my family. I am a woman of schedule and this one works wonders for me.

I must mention I have the best husband and parents in the entire world. They support me in everything I do and make my life so much easier. I love them dearly.

I have been loving getting to know Deelle’s blog and hope you enjoy it as well! Thank you for sharing how you fit it all in D!

I had never tried Rite Aid Tugaboos Diapers (or any of the Tugaboo products for that matter), but was happy to find out that this product exists! I live within walking distance to Rite Aid, so it’s a nice quick option to have. The quality of the Rite Aid brand is better than other store brands (yet doesn’t top my favorite store brand diaper). The Tugaboos have a comfortable, stretchy waistband that provides a snug fit that can be adjusted depending on the size of your baby’s belly. The diapers do get that hard feeling after peed in, which I’ve noticed with other store brand diapers as well. I’m not sure why this happens but the feeling wasn’t as bad as other store brands that we’ve tried. The inner diaper liner is hypoallergenic and these diapers seem to be a good value for what you pay. A mega pack (52 count) of size 4 diapers costs $13.99, which comes to $0.27 per diaper!

Our diapers had a cute tiger on them and said “T is for Tiger!” on the front. Xander seemed to be comfortable in them and they didn’t slow down his movement in the slightest. We’ve worn them throughout the day and then switch to our overnight diapers for bedtime. I’m glad to have learned about this product and can feel comfortable knowing Rite Aid has a nice diaper option in case we’re in a pinch!

Rite Aid is having a Vera Bradley diaper bag sweepstakes – so be sure to read the details below! My diaper bag is Vera Bradley and is in the Purple Punch pattern – I’m a big Vera fan
