The Body you Create

The Body you Create

In fitness we often talk about exercising to create the body that you want. The amount of work you put into your training combined with your diet should reflect your results. In pregnancy, exercise and diet are not so much about the body you are creating on the outside, but about the little tiny body you are creating on the inside. So much of what we consume, orally and spiritually plays apart in…

Human Connection

In a world seemingly overrun with technology, I have the opportunity to be a part of something special. As you may or may not know, in my daytime job I have the opportunity to serve as a personal trainer. This for me has transformed beyond just being a personal trainer.

Experts urge women to exercise during pregnancy

In a recent article, the Minn Post talked about how experts and doctors are now urging women to exercise during their pregnancy. With the ever increasing numbers of interventions during labor, research is showing that exercise can reduce the likelihood of intervention. Another reason women are being urged to exercise is to reduce excessive weight gain. "In the United States, 45 percent of women begin pregnancy overweight or obese, up from 24 percent in 1983, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And 43 percent of pregnant women gain more weight than is recommended," wrote Susan Perry. Perry, mentions that caution must be used when beginning an exercise routine while pregnant. This topic has been researched for many years with new information and data shinning a light on the many benefits for mom and baby. In a quantitative randomized controlled trial, 251 pregnant women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies were placed into either a control group or an exercise group. The study was deigned to measure the influence exercise programs throughout pregnancy have on maternal and fetal parameters. Researchers found that in a healthy pregnancy, there are. I adverse effects as a result of exercise during pregnancy on maternal or fetal outcomes (Barakat, et al., 2014). In a 2012 study (Barakat, et al. 2012) hypothesized that exercise could potentially create a protective effect against pregnancy complications.

Mindfulness and pregnancy

So I have always felt that being mindful of what you allow into your space makes a big difference in how you view the day. Often taken as me not caring, it wasn’t so much about me not caring about how someone else felt or what they were saying, as much as it was about protecting myself from negativity. What we don’t realize many times is that negativity can create unwanted and unnecessary stress. Here is a cool article about how being mindful can not only be good for you, but also for your baby.

Exercise with your baby

Can't seem to get a workout in when the kids are wide awake? Incorporate them into the workout or even better, teach them how to workout. This mama recently took exercising with her little to a whole new level. It's pretty awesome to see the strength and ability that her little one possesses at such an early age. http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/humankind/2017/03/01/-baby-just-held-plank-34-seconds/98480760/
