YAY! for pull-ups and pistols! They're what I was talking about when I said (in an older blog) that my training is not very exciting. :p Those and deadlifts are ALWAYS apart of the program :)

Sara,

In my little world that is very exciting. To most of my clients I'm sure it would get old very fast. But when those reps start getting higher or the weight goes up, that is all I need to keep it fun! I agree, YAY for pull-ups and pistols!!!

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me.

Many people have asked and here is part of my experience.  I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core aga
