Now that my partner in business and life is pregnant with our second child, it got us both thinking about how many others of you out there might be worried if they can keep exercising or doing personal training and for how long. Here are some tips from our own experience with pregnancy as well as with helping others continue their fitness while pregnant. Take it Easy Depending on how you feel and how the pregnancy is going you may want to take it easy. Stick to low-intensity exercises, such as yoga or swimming for the first few months. You may be able to intensify what you are doing in the second part of your pregnancy. Then, for the last part, you may need to slow it down again. Slow the Pace Just know that you are not going to be able to work at the same pace, speed, or intensity. Don't push yourself. Just enjoy what you can do and know your temporary new limits for exercising. Take More Breaks Part of slowing the pace is taking more breaks. Sit down and relax to let your body recharge. Since it's already working overtime to create this incredible new life, you will definitely feel [...]

Summer is in full swing, and we are excited by how busy our personal training schedules have been, helping new personal training clients create their own success stories. With the kids out of school, you may feel like you have more time to devote to your summer workout sessions thanks to fewer Uber rides to and from school. Here are some ways that we recommend getting the most out of your summer workouts: Mix up your summer workouts with some fun outdoor activities, such as a bike ride, trip to the beach, or outdoor sports like tennis, basketball, or golf. This way, you can make sure your kids get some much-needed exercise in while you turn it into family time. If the heat gets you beat, then change any outdoor workouts times to the early morning or evening hours to combat the fatigue that sets in thanks to humid and hot conditions here in Georgia. Also, drink plenty of water throughout the summer heat even if you are working out inside of our gym. Staying hydrated keeps your body on pace with your workouts and provides a way to cool your body down. Change up your diet to reflect the [...]
