CONFESSION #7: It was HARD!

CONFESSION #7 : I had just had my 2nd baby, via Cesarean, 6 months prior in these photos. I was breastfeeding, a career woman and running around after a 2 year old.

I was adamant about getting UBSC Vol. 2, the follow up DVD to Ultimate Body Sculpt and Conditioning with Kettlebells, out to the masses. People were emailing me all over the world asking me when the next video was coming. The pressure was on!




I couldn’t believe that the first offering of UBSC Vol 1 and Baby Bells was taken so well, that people would actually be asking me to keep making more.

In the beginning, I was warned not to make a DVD since I knew zero about marketing. I was advised to start small. God had different plans for me.

9 years ago I had the honor of sharing the stage with 2 super powerful women who also happened to be my students. The inspiring Della Whelchel - Mother of 5 and Model/yogj, now Mom of 2, Emily Aguilar.



We had a lovely film crew of 7 and that was sweating bullets in the 95 degree heat watching us train. I was literally pumping milk during breaks. The ground we were filming on, was a rock garden! Not the smartest choice of spots, but I was determined to have an outdoor location that was beautiful and open. It was a brutally long and hard day of filming. These ladies were super women! 💕



Looking back it was worth it! It brought Kettlebell education to people’s homes who didn’t have a coach near by, the time or money to go to a gym, created efficiency that brought short Workouts of strength and conditioning. Knowing it was a game changer for everyone, made it all worth it.

My confession: I was miserable much of the time due to the heat, boobs hurting from the milk, core from 2 - C-sections wasn’t healed yet & fully functioning. It was HARD! But guess what? We can do hard things! Hard doesn’t scare us.

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

Let's Talk About Butts (Butt "on" Workouts)

To lift or not to lift, that is the question.  Despite the popular sayings, "Strong is the new Skinny" or "Strong is the New Sexy," there is still a large portion of the female population that will shy away from lifting solely due to their fear of bulking up or building too much muscle.  I'm not going to tell you that heavy weights won't help build muscle and I'm not going to deny the fact that some women can build muscle easier than others.   Let's start with the photo below.  This is a nice example of the female backside that shows two different body types.  The woman on the left falls in the category of an ectomorph, which generally means skinny, little muscle, and a very high metabolism.  She could probably eat what she wants and stay skinny.  If she committed to a butt strengthening and enhancing program, filled with exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings , developing the butt on the right would still be unlike
