Erika took the time to design an excellent program especially for me based on my condition and my size throughout my pregnancy that allowed me to stay in shape. No question or concern I had was ever too small. Erika always had time to help me with any conditions or issues that I had. She came highly recommended to me as a specialized trainer for expectant mothers and went well beyond all expectations that I had!
Do you still look pregnant months after delivery?

As I drive to work every morning, I see alot of moms pushing their babies in their strollers and I’ve noticed that alot of them still have that mommy tummy that makes them look 4 months pregnant!…that’s what motivated me to write this post.
After we have a baby, its imperative to REHAB our core and work on our posture. Plenty of isometric work of your transverse and pelvic floor will strengthen your core back. But most important, you need to assume proper posture the rest of the day all day!
I know that while we are pregnant most of us forget how to use our abs, but making a conscious effort pays back. Wearing a postpartum girdle helps alot. It creates awareness of were your abs need to be: squeezed back in. Try and wear it the amount of time you showd a belly while pregnant (Usually 5 months). Furthermore, stand up tall. It’s very common to see all new moms hunched forward. Every other day try to strengthen your upper back and stretch your chest.
Don’t wait until you go to the gym to take care of yourself…stroll the baby, drive your car, sit down at a business meeting making sure you are squeezing your abs in and standing up tall. It makes a big difference in the way you look!

From my first session with Erika I knew that I made the right choice; nutrition, exercise and a caring trainer were all wrapped up in one person. Because I had three previously unsuccessful pregnancies and am over forty the thought of exercising during my pregnancy made me a little nervous. I wanted to make sure I was doing things right so I wouldn’t harm my baby. However, every session with Erika put me at ease because each was fun, challenging and a learning experience. All the knowledge she has about the changes a women’s body goes through reassured me that I was with one of the best in the trade. She taught me a great deal about my body, pregnancy and labor. The results were nominal weight gain, easy labor, a very smooth post-partum process and most importantly a beautiful healthy baby girl. My pregnancy was such a special time and I know that it could not have been so without my sessions with Erika

Erika trained me all the way through my pregnancy. Working out with Belly-n-kicks™ during my pregnancy kept me feeling strong, healthy and energized all the way to the end. Her knowledge and guidance was very important in having a healthy pregnancy. She focused on a safe exercise routine that promoted endurance for the birth process and overall fitness. My recovery after birth was extremely fast. I wouldn’t go through a pregnancy without her!

Training during pregnancy with Erika at Belly-n-Kicks™ was without a doubt the best decision I could have made! There were months when I felt tired and with no motivation; but after each workout at Belly-n-Kicks™ I came out energized, felt better about myself and very healthy. In addition to a healthy diet and working out at Belly-n-kicks™, my pregnany had no complications and I was back in my pre-pregnancy weight a few weeks after Martin was born.
