Jen Selter:
My fitness has remained the same for the past few years – to be the best version of myself! I always try to set and reach new goals, try new equipment/moves/classes and even exercise categories.At the moment, My mission to finish up 2019 is integrating mindful meditation and yoga into my daily routine. it’s important to train your mind the same way you train your body! The mind and body are so deeply connected.

How much do you enjoy being the exercise app Fitplan’s trainer? Why one must give it a try?
Jen Selter:
I started as a Fitplan trainer a few years ago and, to this day, it’s one of my accomplishments I am most proud of. I believe that following a program and staying consistent with your workout regiment is the key to achieving your fitness goals. Creating programs that are challenging and that have lead to real results is such a great feeling. The best part about fitplan is my FitFam private Facebook group for women.. We are over 30,000 members strong on facebook. It’s a private group where I speak to these amazing girls and give advice…but I’m not the only one teaching! The whole group is filled with the most amazing girls from all over the world who share advice, tips, recipes, struggles, ideas, and motivation. I am so thankful for them.

What does your first meal of the day look like? 5 foods to kick start the day?
Jen Selter:
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! I usually start my mornings with a smoothie which I make myself with my BlendJet which is a portable blender. My shakes are blended with a mixture of fruits, nuts, oat milk, and coffee. Following my shake I will have eggs or oatmeal, I usually alternate. On the weekends I enjoy cooking protein pancakes which are delicious. I have recipes on my Instagram, blog, and YouTube.
Namita Nayyar:
Do you advocate opting for cheat meals once a week? Cheat meals that you can’t resist?
Jen Selter:
I’m all about moderation! I don’t believe in depriving yourself of the things you love most. For example, I LOVE dark chocolate. I don’t remember the last day I went a day without having it! But I don’t over indulge. I also LOVE my cheat meals, and have a cheat meal once a week.
Namita Nayyar:
Three components that are a key essential in a fitness regime? How can a working mom achieve baby fat loss?
Jen Selter:
Cardio, weight training, and proper nutrition. Studies have shown that breastfeeding leads to quicker weight loss after birth. I would say that its important to listen to your body after having a child, you just created a little human inside of you, which is a miracle! Make sure you get consent from your doctor before starting your workouts again as well. My biggest advice would be to fuel your body with the proper nutrition and stick to a workout program!
