Kettlebell Training Before, During, and After Pregnancy!!

I have been training Ailis Aaron-Wolf for over 3 and half years. I have watch her prepare for her wedding, celebrate two anniveraries, and delievered her 1st beautiful baby boy, Nathaniel. She is a very dedicated to her training appointments. Despite all of life's challenges, she always adjust her schedule to have two training sessions per week. For the past two year, I've incorporate kettlebell training to her program. One day last year she came in and told me her big news that she's pregnant! Ailis receive the green light from her doctor to continue on kettlebell training, and I quickly contacted Sarah Lurie, RKC, founder of Iron Core kettlebell studio in La Jolla, CA for specific guidelines on kettlebell training for pregnant women. Based of her recommendations, we continue kettlebell training until Ailis reached her 8 month. The cool thing about all of this is Ailis only gained 16 pounds during her pregnancy! She delivered healthy baby Nathaniel in late February '09. Ailis is back swinging and snatching the kettlebell and the 16 pounds of course is gone! Go Ailis!!
