I know how hard it is as a woman to see your body change so drastically and so fast. But what I have found is even harder, is when its been 6-12 months postpartum and you still look pregnant.   I tell you this because for years I have been working not only with pregnant women but with women who have had children years ago and still have a pooch and are 10-20-30 lbs over weight.

There are so many benefits to exercise during pregnancy.  That any woman is crazy not to invest the time into it. And it doesn’t have to be long super hard workouts, but safe and challenging ones.

The best thing you can do during pregnancy is EXERCISE. I can’t tell you enough the difference it can make in your mood, your healthy, how you enjoy your pregnancy, your level of comfortableness (is that a word LOL)….. Not only have I experienced 2 amazing pregnancies because I exercised throughout them.

I loved being pregnant! And I don’t take it for granted, I had 2 amazing pregnancies.  Not stress-free, not hassle-free, but great nonetheless.

Not only is it safe to workout during pregnancy, but it is crucial if you want to experience minimal aches and pains, have energy, sleep well, and have a speedy labor and delivery.  Oh, and if you want to get in pre-pregnancy shape in record time. I am such a huge advocate for working out during pregnancy, not only because I am a trainer and I know how beneficial it is but because I have been through 2 pregnancies.

Working out at home during pregnancy is so much easier than getting to the gym.   I mean most of the time we aren’t feeling too good and between work and shopping for baby LOL, it’s so hard to find the time. I actually worked out at home a lot during my second pregnancy.

Every woman worries about STRETCH MARKS when they get pregnant.  I mean, its hard not to.  Because you can’t imagine your body right now stretching as far as you know its going to.  And you can only hope and pray you don’t get stretch marks…..
