By

Thanks for making 2009 such an incredible year. Here is a workout that I'd like to share with you. I would also like to introduce Della Welchel who is a true role model and an inspiration. Della is one fit mom of 5 girls and I'm proud to announce that she will be joining the On The Edge Fitness team!.
Della will also be leading our brand new BuggyBellz workouts starting in February. This will be an incredible workout that you actually can bring your baby or toddler with. Find out more details about this unique new kettlebell class with your kiddos here.

It's up and working now. Let me know how you like it!

Great, loved the tempo. She had excellent form. Loved it. Now how could you set this up if you don't have the equipment for the arm pulls she does?

Thank you for recommedation of using a jungle gym. We do own jungle gym for years but we hardly use it. We don't have to worry about buying TRX and looking forward to new video workout. :)

I'm not sure how you do it, but these workouts come right on time.. just when I'm looking for something new, THANKS! I looove the KB, TRX mix & seeing the workouts done outside. It helps me forget that it's 30degrees in NY!
-Are you putting together your own team of trainers? I'd like to be a part of that! Please let me know!

Lauren,

I love your blog! I recently started doing kettlebells, and shortly after starting them discovered I was pregnant (I am now approx. 5 weeks). Before that I had done plenty of running, yoga, and weight training (mostly BodyPump), so it isn't as though I only recently started a fitness program.

My husband and I do "Art of Strength: Providence", but I haven't been doing a ton of weight since I found out I was pregnant. I'm going to order your video as well. My question is, during the first trimester is it OK for me to do most of the regular kettlebell exercises, such as they are done in the "Art of Strength: Providence"? I've been told that during the first few months it's OK to continue what you have already been doing. I'd love to get your feedback, though!

Thanks,
Natalie

Hi Natalie,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Yes as long as you have no complications and your Doctor has allowed you to continue to exercise you should be able to continue with what you are currently doing throughout the first trimester. The only thing I do not recommend is too much pressurized breathing or Vo2Max. This is not a time to break records, but to maintain your current strength and fitness level as much as you can.

Good luck and keep me posted!

Best,

Lauren

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. WELCOME! First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second. I'm a kettlebell fitness strength and conditioning coach who relies on her body to share, teach, educate, and I was under the impression that having to give birth via C-section would and could destroy my body and career. Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today! 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...
