Cotton clothes come in the way of your body trying to thermoregulate itself. They absorb the large amounts of sweat you are throwing its way and become heavy, clingy and damp. The moisture stays absorbed, for a long time, leaving your body and skin no room to become cool. Moreover, any damp fabric is a party ground for bacteria to grow and your skin is in direct contact with it.

Having a 2 year old and first film at the same time basically makes me a master at juggling a lot of things, or one could say the exact opposite thing about my juggling capabilities!

I love running and I used to be an avid runner most of my life. Although it's not always possible anymore to make running a part of my daily routine, I do try and fit it in a few days a month. But if I am unable to, I have realized that I don't really have to stress over it with a young girl and my dog Juno in my life! Running around them  plus running around my film's work keeps me on my toes. I walk the dog twice a day - while dropping my daughter to her school and then while picking her up. I take the staircase, throw in some stretching at home and hope I eat home food as much as I can. This is why I like cool looking activewear leggings, I just have to slip them on and I am set for all day and for any activity.

It may seem like my fitness is not anything to talk about, it may seem like any other day. But I remember a day when I walked the dog for a kilometer while carrying a very restless baby in another hand and still managed to crack a creative idea that was bothering me that week. That felt like my very own triathlon. That was magic.

I feel I am able to accomplish many things by not overthinking my fitness regime and by just being active and moving around all day. I guess the trick is to just show up - at work or at home or in your mind.
