(This post was sponsored by Secret. All opinions are my own.) I LOVE a good myth-buster, don’t you? I bust pregnancy and postpartum myths all the time here on my blog. But let’s talk about a few myths that don’t just pertain to just pregnancy and postpartum . . . but to sweat. You know…
 I’m pretty much a sucker for a massage all the time (It’s my favorite form of self care.) but especially during pregnancy. I couldn’t imagine getting through the stresses, aches and pains of pregnancy without a good massage therapist, so when fellow mom, Jenny Silverstone from the blog MomLovesBest, offered up some helpful information on…
As a pre/postnatal exercise specialist, I often hear moms-to-be complain about the lack of “ab exercises” available to them. “Sara, they are all so boring!” Well, this is somewhat because we don’t want to overuse or over tighten our abdominals during pregnancy because they need to be able to separate with ease as our baby grows.

Do you remember watching Oprah have a guest on and they would cry, confess and say quotable things? That’s exactly what happened last week when I had the honor of being interviewed by who some might consider “The Oprah” of the fitness industry – Petra Kolber. The interview went live on her Perfection Detox Podcast today.…

See HERE for Moms-To-Be and stay-tuned for Veteran Moms (or really ALL moms) tomorrow. New Fitness Wear:Â As a new mom, it can be really awkward trying…
I’ll be honest . . . I almost don’t know where to start with this. Plus, it just feels a little weird to be writing about this since I’m such an advocate for working out during pregnancy. For so long, when someone would ask me about whether a certain exercise was okay for pregnancy, the majority…
