After having 3 kids in her thirties, Jennifer’s body went through 3 pregnancies, all C-sections, breastfeeding and sleepless nights, all while working full time. It wasn’t until she turned 40 and her youngest was 1 year old, that she decided it was time to put her health first. She began eating healthier, started running for the first time, and concentrated on cardio style training. HIIT training made her feel strong and she grew to create friendships with like-minded people. She made do with the little time she had and I started to get into shape. However, after 3 and 1/2 years she still wasn ..read more

The #1 topic that comes up with pregnant clients? ⁣ ⁣ BODY IMAGE⁣ ⁣ This trumps the “what to eat” questions, the “what to expect while expecting questions” & the “when will I bounce back” questions (which I’ll get to in a minute, don’t-you-worry). ⁣ ⁣ Finding confidence in your new skin can be tricky.

I get asked ALLLLL the time about how to grow the peach. Genetics is helpful, but I will also tell you that is not the main reason. The main reason is in your workout regime. I used to be a runner, entering all the local races and basically just going out and running. However, once I began to implement resistance training, my legs began to take on a new shape. Once I began to specifically train for the bikini shape, they got even better and once I began to lift heavy and implemented a good diet as well…well that’s how it really started. Here are some of my favorite glute and hammie workouts, d ..read more
