So much has changed about what we know inregards to exercise and pregnancy. Welcome to a new world. First,let me say congratulations.

When I was pregnant with my first child I wasconcerned about what I could and couldnt do so I remedied thisconcern by doing nothing. I owned the eating for two bunk andsomehow believed I would not need to work out or develop muscles asthe baby was just going to pop out when the time came. Who knew howmuch physical work was involved in childbirth?

When my daughter came into my life it was themost amazing and beautiful experience but it was also a realitycheck!

When I learned I was pregnant with my secondchild, I was actually training for the U.S. womens bobsled team. Ihad survived the first several camps in Lake Placid, NY, beenbanged around and loved the sport too much to walk away. I joinedforces with OB/GYN researchers so that I could ensure the safety ofmy unborn daughter.

In return, researchers were excited to studyan athlete who was squatting over 300 pounds, running at 21 MPH,performing plyometrics (explosive bounding activities) andotherwise doing things they had never studied before with pregnantathletes. I was hooked up to EKG leads, fetal and heart monitors,oxygen masks to measure my intake and, yes, a rectalthermometer.

At that time doctors always cautionedpregnant women to pay more attention to their heart rate,discouraging the mothers heart rate from exceeding 140 bpm. Butweve learned that your inner core temperature is exceedinglyimportant! Your babys own body temperature is one degree Celsiushotter than yours but unlike you, your baby has no way to sweat andregulate body heat. So throughout my workout routines, I was alwayscautioned to never let my own inner core temperature to exceedbeyond 101 degree F.

Empowered with this information and strongsafety guidelines, I didnt just make the U.S. team, I wonNationals and was named Athlete of the Year by the United StatesOlympic Committee. (Pssst! Turns out that pregnant women excrete ahormone that has a steroidal effect. I was a beast!)

When pregnant with the third child, my son, Iearned my second black belt in tae kwon do. There was nothingmiraculous about my training it had everything to do with tappinginto the power, strength, beauty and majesty of pregnancy. Howeverclich that may sound it is nevertheless true so true!

Because of my pregnancies, because of mychildren and how I learned to train while pregnant, I learned tounderstand and appreciate the human body. Muscle development,mother fuel, stamina and endurance are all so vital to trainingwhile pregnant. When you train while pregnant, not only do you loveyour own body more but most importantly, you love your child.Monitoring inner core temperature, being cognizant of propernutrition and hydration, resting fully and working routines aroundyour babys safety all make you love and appreciate your child allthe more. It is a beautiful and amazing experience.
