MALE MIDWIFE

Did you know we have resources for guys and by guys here on Fit2B? As we head toward Father’s Day this week, I want to take sometime to highlight them!

Jacob Mearse is a midwife and father of seven living in an American military town of 8,000 who has begun raising the standard of care for women after watching his wife struggle to recover.

It’s all fine and dandy to call for every woman to get physical therapy and rehab after birth, but when there are NONE around, then what?

Jacob calls himself “dual-hatted” as a certified nurse midwife and psychiatric nurse practitioner serving in the Navy. He primarily works in psychiatry but will be catching babies in a hospital once he retires from the military soon. He and his wife, April, discovered Fit2B when April became a member. We connected with Jacob when he started chiming in with his expert advice in the Fit2B private member forum, and I’m so delighted I had the chance to pick his brain in this interview!

We are aging!

My MIL is on her deathbed in my dining room. She is 82 and for the past 6 decades, she lived in survival mode in rural Montana: self-sufficient, isolated, unwilling to get help for her mental and physical struggles. She was skin and bones when she came to us in the final stages of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s which she’d hidden from us.

Aging doesn’t have to be like that. And you and me? We are aging!

The Benefits Of Online Fitness

Are you unable or unwilling to join a gym right now? Hey, I get it. I live pretty far from any good gyms myself, plus I’d rather work out at home. Have you been looking for fun ways to stay in shape at home, either by yourself or with your whole family? But then you’ve gone on Youtube looking for free workout videos, only to be overwhelmed by the pro-pretenders, ads, chaos, poorly executed exercises, horrible cueing (or no cues), lack of oversight, and even downright indecency?

Working out at home with online fitness videos can be an excellent alternative to gym workouts, but it’s hard to find quality workout videos with well taught exercises, modifications for every need, and what about stuff for the kids? Not only is working out at home a great, green way to get in shape, but it can also help promote quality family time. Here on Fit2B we have been filming fitness workout videos since 2010, and we’ve honed in on 4 benefits of doing online, streaming fitness at home with your family.
