Things are going to change as your body takes a life of her own (pun intended). After becoming pregnant with my second boy, I decided to embrace my pregnant body rather than resist and become discouraged. I wanted others, especially first time moms, to have the opportunity to embrace their pregnant beauty as I did. To this end, I developed a fitness class called Belly Beautiful Workout which made its debut at Equinox in Woodland Hills , CA in 2009. Using Pilates and functional exercise, the workout is designed to reinforce postural muscles, develop strong muscles for labor and delivery, and to help prepare for newborn care.
