MIA Blogger

I can barely wrap my head around how busy I have been. I added 4 fresh faces to my roster in the past week- 3 diastasis rehabilitation and 1 prenatal. That is a lot of program planning, paperwork and correspondences, which leaves less time for my own workouts! I am now also taking clients from Maternal Fitness Rx. The need for qualified experienced diastasis trainers is immense. I swear there is not one postpartum woman I have checked this year who has not had some degree of separation between her rectus abdominis.

As for my own fitness I just completed 5 consecutive days and took a rest day today. I have been leaning heavily on the cardio (4 of 5 days) but still getting in 1 core and 1 crosstrain workout. I have been successful in my goal of doing short daytime family stroller run/bike rides with both kids, and I am very happy about that.

Tomorrow is day 1 crosstrain with 10 exercises planned for 20:00. My prep for tomorrow night's client is done so I can focus on my own extreme burn tomorrow morning. I am excited to break in my new Gymboss Interval timer! Woot. No more missing intervals due to a wimpy alarm beep! No more messed up programs because I am preoccupied that I am hearing my timer! This is the caddy of interval timers and mine is pink :)

What do you have planned for tomorrow mmmmmm?

I don’t have a Diastasis- Why is my abdomen still distended postpartum?

I get asked this question all the time! Here is my answer: Research has shown that 100% of pregnant women will develop some degree of diastasis recti. A diastasis is a lateral separation in the abdominal wall between the recti or “six pack”, due to a stretching of the midline connective tissue or “linea alba”. Although some diastasis will heal postpartum, in many cases a separation will remain without restorative exercise. Distention from DR will present as a doming in the midline. Women who heal a diastasis spontaneously or through restorative exercise may still find that their abdomens are distended, particularly after a meal and/or at the end of the day. If there is no diastasis, why is this? This abdominal distention does not occur in the midline, but rather across the entire abdominal wall. This is due to a weakened hypotonic TVA- transverse abdominis muscle. The TVA is the deepest anterior abdominal muscle, wrapping around the midsection like a girdle, with a left an...

Kate's Guide to Getting the Correct Sports Bra!

I wear an unusual size and it took me years to unlock the secrets to bra fitting (and finding!) I suffered for years in improperly fitting bras, and during exercise I would wear 2 or 3 just to get the support I needed.  E very woman needs support while performing sports; not having proper support means that there is extra stress put on the back during various activities. Even low-impact exercise s done without the support of a sports bra can result in strain on the upper back and shoulders that can result in pain or worse- injuries that may develop over time. Sports bras affect a woman’s posture. Exercising without support can result in slouching to prevent painful bouncing which throws the back and hips out of alignment and impedes form, leading to potential injury. The most common mistakes are when women wear a bra that is too small in the cup and too loose around the body for example a 38e instead of a 36f. Note: When you go down a band size, go up a cup!
