Tia Mowry is on the Cover of Women's Running Magazine

I've been a fan of Tia and Tamera Mowry since their Sister Sister days, despite the annoying taunting I used to receive due to our shared curly girl hair do's when I was younger. It's been really nice to see both of their careers progress as well as their personal lives - I've been able to grow with them and now they both are wives and mothers just like me, so that makes them even more relatable. Tia looks fantastic as the cover women on the latest edition on Women's Running Magazine and her interview inside is very insightful....

· Tia’s advice for new moms: “Start slow. Work out two of three times a week in the beginning. As you get stronger again, you can start working out four times a week, then maybe five. Set small goals, and only set new goals once you accomplish the small ones. “

Behind the scenes, Mowry danced along to her favorite Pandora pump up channel: Today’s Hit Hop & Pop Hits, played around on a red mini tricycle and scoured the wardrobe racks full of sports bras, tops and tights to find the perfect looks.
