Taking care of YOU is the foundation for becoming a joyful teacher and effective teacher.  And while there are lots of forms of self-care, fitness is an important one for both our physical and mental health! It reduces stress, gets our bodies working more efficiently, and helps us focus better all day long.

Today's guest is Ann Wiegmann Stafford, aka Fit Teacher Momma, who has a unique [and free] solution she created to help herself and other teachers stay fit, support each other and connect. She's a science teacher, mom of 2, and wife who is passionate about fitness.
