You know what they say, life changes after you have kids. Everything you knew before becoming a mother is replaced with a new life, new habits, new challenges and a whole lot of joy and love, too, obviously. And it’s true, when a child is born, a mother is born, otherwise we would be just women. We would just have all the time in the world on our hands. We would still be spontaneous, and we would be having date nights every Friday night and Mimosas in the weekends in a quiet kitchen and could just jump on a plane whenever we wished to. But hey, I am going off trail here, sorry.
Anyways, what if someone told you that not everything has to change when you have kids? Your life as you knew it might suffer little adjustments, yes, but your true essence is not going anywhere. You are totally free to keep some – or all parts of yourself that you love. You are able to not only add to your list of invincible assets, but to become the best you yet. You are able to see yourself in a new light as the new superwoman you have become.
Because guess what- motherhood changes you into the best version of yourself you never knew you had. Everything you used to do in a day before, you will now learn to do in half that time, and on top of that, one-handed. The love you thought you can feel before, now proves to multiply by a million and even becomes unconditional. Everything you considered difficult before, is now possible. You discover this whole new you that you didn’t know you were because you never trusted yourself as much as you do now.
And from what I’ve learned so far, being a good mom does not mean putting your kids first and your needs last every single day of your life. You are the best mom to your kids when you feel whole, happy, fulfilled. When your needs are being met, when your glass is being filled. And sometimes you are the one who needs to to that, fill your glass with whatever it is you need- and very often it has to do with getting out there and being active! Get out of the house, get some fresh air and do your thing: power walking while listening to that podcast you have been postponing for so long, jogging with your friends in the park, or simply running by yourself to free your mind from everything else. Nothing compares to the healing powers of fresh air for a fresh mindset! And the best part is: you can do this all while letting your little ones tag along for that ride in the park!
That’s why we love the new Cybex ZENO multi-sport trailer! Designed especially for the active moms (and dads) who want to keep up with their daily or weekly workouts, without having to choose between me-time and kids-time. Now you can have both, and at the same time!
This one’s for the Supermoms. For the fit moms. For the unstoppable moms. For all moms.
The ZENO Multisport Trailer is basically the Tesla of running strollers. It’s not only extremely light, comfortable and functional, but also deliciously stylish! You can configure it and add to it the frame, the seat pack in the colour that you love (we went for the forever-chic Black and cool Maliblue), you can add the hands free running kit and cycling kit- all in just one multiport trailer that fits any hobby, occasion and season!
As I am typing this I have so many tabs (literally) open, that I could easily fall into the “tell me you’re a mom without telling me you’re a mom” category. I have the magazine admin website, a YouTube podcast on mixing business with family life (go figure), a wetransfer link, a Vogue article on my Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume, Melissa Wood Health’s 30 min Pilates workout, a Skyscanner tab with cheap flights to Portugal and a Booking one with expensive hotels I could spend those nights in Portugal while enrolling for surfing lessons.
Yes I’m a Mom, but I am also a woman, wife, girlfriend, and not only can I do it all at the same time, but I want to. I need to. So what I love about ZENO and the entire philosophy behind the brand is that I can now easily go home after work or errands, change into my running clothes, put my toddler in the trailer and hit the park, or the dunes or the forest for an hour to run, jog or power walk and just shake the day away in the best way possible. I no longer have to plan every me-time hour days in advance, find a babysitter, friend or husband to sit the kids. Now they can join me, comfortably and oh how this makes my life so much easier!
We have gathered together a group of SuperMoms, each with a different background, career and number of kids, but with one mutual feature: they all feel strongly about making time for themselves, value the concept of self-care (especially in the context of motherhood) and want to stay active and fresh despite having their kid(s) tag along for their outdoors active life! We came together on a chilly, rainy Amsterdam morning at the Cybex flagship store in Amsterdam on P.C.Hooftstraat, had some coffee and snacks, kids ran around, got to know each other, drank some apple juice, and then we hit the Vondelpark and ran, walked and laughed while getting wet, changing rain coats, and hoping for some sun. We managed to actually talk a lot to each other while being photographed by Rachel, so everything you see is authentic, real and not directed. There were motherhood tales, funny stories, and running back to the store for some tea and more snacks to get warm again. Overall? The perfect combination between working out, bonding, enjoying me-time and making friends.
So yeah, you can be a BUSY Mom on the go, you can be a stay at home Supermom, you can be a working 9-5 or entrepreneur mom, but nothing can stop you from taking that time for yourself and doing what makes you feel good, inspired, fit, energised!
And if you have more than one kid that fits into the ZENO (which is between 9 months and around 4 years), you can even run both ways- one kid in the pushing trailer and one in the back, doing hands-free running. Feeling like a Realmomster yet?
You can discover the multisport ZENO trailer on Cybex and configure your favorite stroller for your favourite kind of sport- be it running, hands-free running, cycling and even skiing! Nothing is impossible anymore now!
Get your ZENO and get moving!
