Motherhood is not the end, it can be your rebirth. Motherhood is a challenge in itself, it’s that magical period in your life where you are in the middle of a struggle: being a mom, keeping your physical and mental sanity and the daily obligations towards your new bundle of joy. During the middle of all of this internal and external struggle as a new mom to a baby (and the never-ending questions such as would I be ever able to do it again?!) the phone rang, and – boom - the next big change in my life suddenly appeared.

The last couple of months were very challenging for me and my family and I’m sure for the majority of people – everyone has a story to tell. We have lived through an unprecedented time and have been deprived of the freedom to do the things that we enjoy the most, such as social gatherings, sports activities in public, and many other activities which we took for granted. However, I am a firm believer in the saying, “When there is will, there is way”. My way was with my daily activities – I transformed them into useful, fun and engaging workouts, runs, and believe it or not even a small obstacle course on my balcony.
