’ & .... ’ / . How do you breath when you exercise? Are you a....... hold your breath until the exercise is done - I just want to get through it. just breath - no rhyme or reason. inhale as I engage my muscles, exhale when I release. ???? Did you know that you can train your core while doing any exercise if you connect your breath to your movements? A lunge for instance - inhale as you lunge down and exhale as you come up. The diaphragm, transverse abdominals, pelvic floor and multifidus are the very important core 4. A team of muscles that when used together correctly build a stronger core. As you inhale the diaphragm and pelvic floor descend, the transverse and multifidus relax (as you lunge down). When you exhale the diaphragm and pelvic floor lift up, the transverse and multifidus engage (as you come up from your lunge) this is when your core muscle are working at their best - add in a Kegel on your exhale for an added PF engagement. My clients always get the best core connection when working with me. They learn the foundations of their bodies and are able to build strength from the inside out. It’s my passion to educate women to get the best out of their workout. Do you know how to connect with your core? or

key 5 ! . My water broke around 12:00 am on Dec. 7th. I thought I maybe peed myself (I was laughing at a Saturday Night Live skit) as I wasn’t due until the 19th. I went to bed and got up an hour later something didn’t feel right I couldn’t lye down comfortability, I started to feel some pain (I knew I was in the early stages of labour). I decided to move to the couch. I called my Mom and let her know my water broke, ...and then I sat watching TV, the pain was getting worse. I told my husband I was starting to feel contractions (he was sleeping) but he wasn’t concerned and said we will head to the hospital first thing in the morning. So, I went back to the couch. By this time, a few hours went by and I was really starting to feel lots of pain. I got out my baby app and started to time my contractions they were 2 minutes apart. I went back to our bedroom and told my husband my pain was getting bad and we needed to start heading to the hospital. He called my father in law to come and watch my older son Henry. At this point I could not even stand the pain was so bad. We finally left the house at 5:15 am got to the hospital at 5:30 am I WAS IN LOTS OF PAIN at this point I was screaming (yes screaming). I couldn’t lye still, I wanted an epidural, but the nurse said I was too far along. 24 MINUTES later at 5:54 am I delivered my beautiful baby. He came out fast his head was bruised, and his eyes were blood shot but he was healthy, and we were in love. Wishing my handsome boy a Happy 5th Birthday. See more

The Prenatal Car Seat Class. One of my favourite classes to teach....because exercising during pregnancy is about preparing the body for motherhood, and learning how to move to prevent core dysfunctions like prolapse, incontinence and low back pain, postpartum. I love teaching and giving my clients knowledge to make informed decisions.

Ready for the week....whatever it may bring.
