"I really enjoyed being pregnant and becoming a new mum with the birth of my son, but no one could have been more ‘shocked’ than I was when my weight had sky-rocketed due to an increased appetite, cravings and painful sciatica. After the go-ahead from my gynecologist I got back into shape with traditional strength training and long boring cardio sessions after a few months. But I continued to suffer from lower back pain and tight hip flexors and I was also struggling to find the time to be consistent with my workouts. Although I returned to my pre-baby shape I continued to experience intermittent lower back pain and tight hip flexors, as well as an injury from training. Then I discovered the kettlebell, your ‘all in one’ hand-held gym."

"With kettlebells I could do my cardio and strength training simultaneously anywhere, anytime. I soon developed ‘real world’ strength and a rock solid back and core. I am now stronger than I have ever been and I train effectively in half the time that I used to. Kettlebell training solved my postpartum back problems and I no longer had trouble fitting workouts into my busy schedule as a ‘busy mum’. So it doesn’t make sense to me to continue training with traditional strength training equipment that isolate my muscle groups leaving me with lots of weak links. I am now functionally stronger and fitter than I have ever been, even before the birth of my beautiful son. My midsection is rock solid and my pre-pregnancy jeans have never looked better on me."
