Turkish Get Up - Modified for Sensitive Knees

Modified Turkish Get Ups became my best friend in 2010 when I tore my ACL during a Krav Maga test. Naturally I was completely distraught when this happened. Luckily during a CK-FMS certification, I was shown by Jeff O'Connor, former Master RKC, how to work around this injury. I brought this back to California after that weekend excited to show my students and colleagues this modification. Many people loved it and began using it with their students too! My clients with very tender and sensitive knees were finally able to do the Get Up pain free. I usually do this style Get Up with lighter bells. Hope this helps you as much as it has helped me and my students over the years!

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 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

5 Year Blog Anniversary and Giveaway

My blog was born March 10th of 2007, 5 years ago, with this post that started it all. It all started 6 weeks after giving birth to my first baby. The purpose of this blog was to share my journey of embarking as a new mother recovering from a C-section, lost strength, and fitness. I wanted to share my struggles and perseverance in getting back to my pre-pregnancy self all while enjoying my new road in to motherhood. I felt this was an easy and convenient way for friends and family that live all over the world, to see photos of my children and updates about our life. What an amazing experience it has been for me. I never thought blogging my experiences would turn in to so much more. Through my blogging I got the chance to connect with so many wonderful people around the world. I never fully understood how powerful the stories would effect so many people. It's truly been an honor. Being able to continue to drive motivation and hope in to someones life by sharing my life
