Although celebrities would have us believe otherwise, having a baby can wreak havoc on your body. Personally, I gained over 40 pounds, and even after losing all the weight I felt (okay, feel) unsatisfied with my saggy post-baby body. I had an almost ten pound baby and my body will never be the same, but after coming to terms with my new shape, I hired a personal trainer to help teach me safe ways to gain muscle and energy.
My workout enthusiasm is hit or miss, so I’m not one to give advice, but my trainer was great. I talk with her, Connie Marshall of Life Fitness 4 Me, about working out during and after pregnancy. What are the biggest mistakes pregnant women and new moms make? Are personal trainers only for the rich and famous? Are all trainers the same? Connie answers these questions and more.
