Working out has always been a huge part of my life! Growing up I played many sports and I come from an extremely competitive family! When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to stay on top of my fitness to keep me physically and mentally well. After getting the OK from my doctor that everything was going great in my first trimester, and my morning sickness subsided, I started my workout routine again. In LA, I have a great trainer who I would see 5 times a week, but in New Jersey, it was harder to find a trainer, so I would continue my workouts that Jasper had made for me. (If you’re in LA, and need a great trainer, hit up Jasper. His Instagram is @jasperrc)

As I started to get bigger, my workouts were modified to keep my baby and I safe. We worked on balancing, and a lot of arm workouts to prepare me to hold my baby…… for the rest of my life, lol. I love the way Jasper approached our workouts. Slow and steady, but the movements made everything burn! Below is an example of one of our workouts!
