Comprehensive Kettlebell & Pregnancy Guide The first of its kind!!!

***Please note that this is not available in hardcopy.

This is only available in E-version.

(*This is a re-post, My e-book has been out for more than a year now)

This reference guide and workbook is for women who are committed to sustaining optimal health, well-being, strength and stamina during their pregnancy. This program will guide you from the beginning of your pregnancy until your baby arrives.

Progressive workouts lead you through your first and second trimester. Then, as you near the third trimester and finish your pregnancy, the workouts taper down accordingly.

I have trained several clients through and after their first, second, third and even fourth pregnancies. I have also experienced the changes and adaptations for myself.

This 143 page no-fluff guide is a compilation of 102 workouts I have designed for these women as well as for myself. This means the detailed sessions outlined in this book are tried and safe for you and your baby from conception to delivery!

Because mobility and awareness of mobility changes are so important during pregnancy development, specifically selected joint mobility is preceded, incorporated into, and wraps-up each workout!

You'll also find:
A detailed list of Precautions
Extensive explanation of what to expect and how to prepare for the changes unique to each trimester
Description of how to use the manual and how the workouts are presented
A Pre-Assessment Guide
Note segments on each page to journal your progress
Over 70 pictures with drill descriptions
And even a suggested reading list to guide you through other areas of your pregnancy

"I cannot say enough good things about this pregnancy kettlebell book. I only wish that I had this book with my previous pregnancies. I am pregnant with baby number three, and I can now say that I am looking forward to working out while being pregnant! I cannot wait to see what workout Sara designed for that specific workout session. Sara has over 100 workouts specifically and SAFELY designed for each week of your entire pregnancy. With my previous pregnancies, I would get very bored doing the same workout DVD all of the time, and consequently would skip workouts because I couldn't bear to do the same exercises all over again. None of Sara's workouts are the same, and they give you a great workout. Many pregnancy workouts barely cause one bead of sweat to form on my brow, but I was so happy with Sara's workouts. I got a great sweat on, my heart rate was up (to a safe degree, of course), and the next day I was sore in all the right places ( the good kind of sore)! This book is different because it is designed for the pregnant woman already proficient with using kettlebells. This book is not a basic book just teaching you how to hold a kettlebell and perform a swing! If you have been using kettlebells for a while, you will love this book!
When I think about the amount of time that Sara must have taken to research and design these workouts, it blows my mind. I do not have the time or energy to design my own workouts at this stage in my life and make sure they are safe for my baby and me. I can't thank Sara enough for making this book available to the public. I feel strong and healthy, and I know that I will get back into pre-baby shape even more quickly after this pregnancy than with my last two pregnancies. Thank you so much, Sara!" -Ann Reinheimer Werner

"Sara missed NOTHING with her comprehensive kettlebell guide for pregnant ladies who enjoy kettlebells! This is the ONLY book of it's kind that gives you over 100 workouts, that's right OVER 100 workouts that take you through each week of pregnancy. This book is truly NO FLUFF! She will not bore you with information to just fill up pages or tell you info you can find in any pregnancy book. These workouts were carefully designed for the pregnant woman already familiar with kettlebells and not just on her own experiences. This book takes all the thinking out of the equation. Sara diligiently followed all the rules in addition to her own research, in regards to pressurization, stability, change in balance, hormone production, fatigue, and took each and every stage in to consideration with designing each program. This book also includes photos and explanations in case you are not familiar with or need extra instruction on each exercise. This manual is truly one of a kind in a way that it will take you from the beginning of your pregnancy to end with a complete game plan. This is a gold mine that every single woman who uses kettlebells should own, pregnant or not. If you are professional working with female clients who plan to become pregnant this manual will help design programs for each week. Sara is practically giving this information away for such a low price, it would be silly not to spend this amount to add this to your aresenal. Most comprehensive manuals with this type of detail would cost 5 times the price. As a woman who also specializes in working with fit pregnant women I know first hand the mistakes other trainers make with program design and recommendations. Whether it be unsafe or just plain useless, this book falls under the category of, I couldn't have done it better myself! This book is by far the best pregnant kettlebell workout guide I have ever gotten my hands on!" Lauren Brooks, Author of Baby Bells: The fit pregnancy workout

Just get started, and keep moving.

I have recently had a few conversations with friends and clients regarding where to start, or that they have goals and seem to be at a stand-still, at a loss, if you will. One of the sayings my wise "old man" once told me, that stuck, was, "Just get started. Even if you move in the wrong direction."

A lot of times, we get stuck on in the decision-making process mode. Where we think we have to gather as much information as possible, do all our research, and get our ducks in a row, before we take a single step. Then, once we gather the information, we think, "Oh man! There's so much I don't know! And what if I've been researching in the wrong area???" We get overwhelmed, throw our hands in the air and storm away, disappointed.

I have a friend: super strong, super capable, super smart, successful....a mom of TWINS and the wife of a Marine. She's got SO much on her plate and has SO much going for her. BUT, like many of us, she gets frustrated with where to go in her training, and once into it, how to progress. A specific example is her pressing. She's been keeping up with me, using the Enter the Kettlebell program (by Pavel Tsatsouline). She's an ex-professional gymnast, so she definitely has the strength and guts to take on the program, heavy.

This week, I'm pressing the 20 kilo for 5 ladders of 2 rungs, each. (Next week I'm shooting for 3 rungs on at least the first ladder. My goal is to get back to pressing the 24kg.) In the program, you match pull-ups with the presses. It can be pretty brutal on everything, not to mention your grip. So my friend, says to me, "I can press the 18kg (she doesn't have access to a 20kg bell) but then it just stalls." And I say, "right about here?" Meaning about the point where her elbow would make a 90* angle. Shes say "YEAH! How'd you know?" That's the sticking point. She's been frustrated and thinking about bailing on progressing, because, like most of us, she thinks she has to be perfect to do any of it.

On the contrary. The first time I got the 20 back overhead, I'm sure it looked more like a bent or side press, than a strict military press. But, I got in the reps, I got the successes under my belt. I modified my groove as I progressed each day. So, I coached her to train around and through the sticking point....train for success in your workouts, not failure, and you will get better, stronger, faster, smarter, whatever it is you're wanting.

Don't stop because you can't be perfect. And if you can't figure out a way around or through the failure, sticking point, whatever, find a good coach, an educated friend, or just talk through it with a training partner. Sometimes talking is the best way through our fears and self-imposed barriers. Make sure you talk with someone that's legit, and not just going to blow smoke up your you-know-what.
