Hi! My name is Raina and I’m a 36-year-old mom blogger from San Diego. I am a full-time influencer and stay-at-home mom. Before that, I was a barre instructor and dance teacher. Honestly, I never had to worry about weight loss or dieting because I was always active my whole life and preferred to eat healthy for the most part.
After my first child, I was really shocked at how my body changed and how much weight I gained. I gained 70 pounds during my pregnancy and definitely couldn’t wait until I was cleared to workout again after giving birth. After hard work, I was able to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight within 7 months, which I was thrilled about. Not too long after, I became pregnant with my second child which is when I actually started my blog. I gained weight back of course but not as much as my first pregnancy. After my son was born, I was working out and trying to reach my weight loss goals but before I could reach my goal, I got pregnant with my 3rd child.
After having my 3rd child, it was really hard to reach my goal of my pre-pregnancy weight. My weight was really inconsistent because of the crazy mom of 3 life. In January 2022, I reached my breaking point and my heaviest weight. I wasn’t happy so I made a promise to myself to really stay consistent all year until I reach my goal. I actually reached my goal in that same year by being consistent, working hard and pushing myself and being in a calorie deficit. I’ve never been happier! Putting my health high on my priority list was a major key. The workouts that I did were strength training, HIIT, pilates and of course cardio (on the treadmill or indoor bike).
I actually have a freebeat Litbike which is an innovative indoor cycling bike. I’ve had it for over a year and absolutely love it. They are perfect for the days I can’t get to the gym or even when I just want the convenience of getting a great cardio workout at home. It’s a Swiss design bike that is just aesthetically pleasing. The unique wooden flywheel and saddle sensors were designed to look clean and elegant. It’s almost like an added decor piece in our home because the design is so modern and sleek. I also love that it doesn’t take much space. Not to mention, it was pretty simple to set up.
Once I get on the bike, I’m able to enter my stress-free zone. I connect my bluetooth headphones and just get lost in my workout. There are 15-30 minute classes you can choose from which is so ideal. As a mom of 3, sometimes all I can squeeze in is a 15 minute cycle class but let me tell you, they are still super challenging but fun. Sometimes I find myself even going harder in those short classes cause I’m trying to get the most of it. I am usually dripping in sweat!
Another thing I love about it is the rotatable touchable 22 inch screen. It’s big and clear. It makes you feel like you are right there with the world class instructor teaching the class. The fact that it rotates is so awesome because it’s easy to adjust and transition from cycling to strength training exercises with dumbbells or other equipment. My husband also uses the litbike and since he is taller, we always have to adjust the screen after each of us uses it.
For only $39 a month, you will have access to hundreds of on-demand classes taught by amazing instructors and they come from top-notch studios like Equinox, Soulcycle, Flywheel, Cyclebar, etc. The all access freebeat membership provides household access of up to 10 accounts which is more affordable than competitors and the quality is above industry standard. You can even track your workout metrics like power cadence, resistance and heart rate. There are also monthly challenges you can join where you can win prizes like an Amazon gift card and real rewards. How cool is that?! Talk about a great incentive to workout and keep yourself healthy.
I’m so grateful that I have a Freebeat Litbike that was available for me to use at home. It definitely was a huge part of my weight loss journey.
