About the author

Michelle Steinke-Baumgard

1 book21 followers
Michelle Steinke-Baumgard is the Co-Founder of My1FitLife, One Fit Widow, and the Live the List Nonprofit. After losing her late husband in 2009, she became engrossed in fitness not only as a lifestyle but also as a profession. After losing 80 pounds, Michelle decided that her love of fitness was more than just a pastime, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life empowering those with a loss to live their life to the fullest. Through personal experience, Michelle learned that exercise and endorphins were the most underutilized form of therapy, especially for those dealing with grief and trauma, and yet perhaps the most useful. With her personal perspective on loss, Michelle decided to leave her VP corporate job and become a certified personal trainer. Michelle started her fitness career as a coach at the gym that gave me weight loss success and eventually left to start My1FitLife. Her dream is to help as many people as possible find stress relief and renewal of life through health and fitness. Today, Michelle's coaching portal, My1FitLife has over 3,000 worldwide members reaching all over the world and The Live the List Nonprofit is helping the widowed live out their dreams so they can make deliberate steps forward with their life. Michelle has been featured in Fitness, Shape, Woman's World Magazine and is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post where she writes on both grief and fitness issues.

A special thank you to Edelweiss and HarperCollins for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

After losing her husband in a tragic plane crash, Michelle Steinke-Baumgard faced the darkest moment of her life. Widowed, with two young children, Michelle confronted her grief head on by choosing to strengthen her body, mind, and spirit. In doing so, Michelle rediscovered happiness through fitness and wellness.

Please don't let the title sway you into thinking that you have had to experience a loss to benefit from Michelle Steinke-Baumgard's book. She addresses the physical, mental, and emotional effects of grief juxtaposed against healthy eating and exercise in a 12-week plan that anyone can use.

Steinke-Baumgard dispels a lot of the myths not only surrounding grief, but also with diet and exercise. There is no one-size-fits-all in grieving, healthy living, or wellness—Michelle tackles these myths with knowledge and personal experience. Her approach is kind, motivational, and above all, honest. She has a huge following from her One Fit Widow community where she provides the same support, candor, and honesty to her followers (you can check her out on social media). Michelle is a wonderful writer and I have been following her for a while now.

If you are even remotely considering changing your lifestyle, and/or are struggling with grief, pick up this book. Not only will your body thank you, but in times of loss, your heart and soul will thank you. Michelle, you are a wonderful role model, woman, and coach—thank you for sharing your personal story of loss, your fitness journey, and your knowledge.

As a grief professional, I am highly critical of grief books, yet Steinke-Baumgard withstood all of my typical criticisms. She recognizes the unique timeline and journey for everyone who is grieving and creates a customizable plan that readers can tailor to fit their needs. Prior to reading this, I was concerned that it might be too pushy or prescribed knowing that it is a fitness book as well, but was pleasantly surprised that she encourages readers to start with where they are at and work on baby steps each week.

I find that instrumental grievers, those who process things physically and cognitively rather than emotionally, are often left out of traditional grief support and literature. This book provides a palatable framework for them, one that doesn't make them feel like they are "wrong" and one that normalizes the experience of needing to process one's grief through physical outlets.

I highly recommend this book for those who are grieving, especially those who may feel like traditional grief support does not meet their needs and are looking for a different approach.

This book is a lifesaver! The author gives you step-by-step instruction on how to regain control of your life through fitness and health - even when it seems impossible. While everyone processes grief differently, we can all learn from the steps in this thoughtful book. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I recently lost my husband and after a longtime friend sent me a link to Michelle's blog, I was happy to see that she had written a book as well. All in all, it wasn't at all what I was expecting even though the book is pretty straightforward. I found it a bit preachy in the beginning; a lot of information thrown at me about grief and so forth and to be honest a little of it sounded like 'bragging' or gloating, as though she was proud that she had been successful in getting through her grief. Maybe I should have waited till much later in my grieving process to read this because I wasn't (and am still not) ready to take on a full exercise program. I wasn't really motivated at all by the chapter that she intended to do just that. I skipped a lot of it that dealt with kickboxing, yoga, running, etc (things I'll probably never do) and honestly the only part in the exercise section that interested me was the swimming section (which is very small). Most of the book is about running and she talks a lot about the marathons that she's trained for. There is a large section on nutrition and so forth as well.

This isn't a bad book by any means and there was some good information; particularly the "myths" about grieving, but as I said before I think I should have waited a while before trying to dive into this. My life right now is very chaotic and I think a book that focused on the beginning of grieving would have been more informative. However in the future, I may give this book another try. It's not for everyone but it's worth taking a look at to see if it fits into your life.

This is an excellent book for anyone who's grieving - whether you're ready to take steps forward today or not. By putting these positive ideas in your head, Michelle has provided the reader a foundation for the work that is to come. There were painful truths in this book, the kind that resonate for many of us, but it was also a very uplifting and positive book; powerful motivation to find what lies within. You learn so much through loss and this is exactly the kind of book that helps reveal these discoveries. The book includes personal and moving stories but also extensive and simply laid out healthy habits for taking your power back. Her message isn't about moving on, it's about moving forward. Highly recommended for the grieving and those who love them.

Love love love. I very much resonated with this book and where I am at in my grief. It’s personable and approachable. I only have it 4 stars because I read through without filling the 12 week process because I wasn’t ready to in that moment. However I know I will be referring back to it as I do

Nothing new here-nothing a person couldn't find in any issue of any woman's magazine. The personal stories set the text apart but they are a very small part of the book. 1.5*

2018 Popsugar Reading Challenge prompt: a book about death or grief.

I like that the author gives you a plan of action and not just platitudes.
