Hi guys We've recently written an article for a pregnancy magazine, which gives great information on how to maintain exercise while pregnant, and how to exercise safely.   This should help answer a lot of your queries and give you some helpful advice. Check it out here: ...

I've heard so many conflicting reports about how much weight I should be lifting in my second trimester.  Any suggestions?  I'm specifically concerned about squats and back weight.

Yes I actually am just hearing about this today myself and Im a big fan of Beachbody and of Bodypump so obviously I was excited. I do think that NOTHING beats working out in a group setting and having an instructor in front of the class PUSHING you to your max BUT for those who can't make it to the gym every single day, have to miss a class, ...

I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and have been teaching Body Pump for a year and did my Body Vive certification training just last weekend.  I think if you are teaching that you can show the advanced option, then do the lower impact option yourself.  Your members/students WILL UNDERSTAND.  You are pregnant and are still active and ...

She's a healthy weight and looks fit, but she says she's just getting back into the workout routine, so her fitness level was just starting back again. She plans of course to speak with her doctor....I know the normal rule of thumb ...

First of all, congratulations! Motherhood is amazing! Much more fulfilling than I could have ever imagined! I am 34 years old and when I got pregnant with baby #1, I had been teaching 3 Combat and 2 RPM classes a week. I taught my last Combat class 13 days before a scheduled c-section at my 38.5 week point (so I guess that would mean I taught up ...

Can anyone help? Yesterday I was asked ''How soon after giving birth by cesarean section can someone participate in Body Pump?''. This had me stumped so if anybody could point me in the right direction i would be grateful. Thanks.

awesome! thanks for that! Cuz I'm stuck on dialup I rarely tend to just ''browse'' the site as it takes me too long. THanks for pointing it out to me
