\r\nI’ve been into fitness since I can remember. I love exercise and movement from a kid until now a 35 year old woman.\u00a0 It gives me such a rush and I feel empowered.\r\n<\/p>\r\n3)\u00a0What is your favorite type of exercise?<\/strong>\r\n

\r\nafrikoPOP, running, and strength training\r\n<\/p>\r\n4)\u00a0How did pregnancy change\/affect your fitness regime in each trimester (if it did)<\/strong>\r\n

\r\nWith this pregnancy during the first trimester I was on physical activity restrictions and I re-injured my knee so I was out until week 14. My second trimester I had my energy back but I adjusted my afrikoPOP routine so that I wasn’t jumping and kicking like previous routines but still an intense workout.\u00a0 I hardly run or strength train right now, just afrikoPOP.\r\n<\/p>\r\n5)\u00a0In what ways did\/has being physically active helped you through your pregnancy?<\/strong>\r\n

\r\nAbsolutely! My energy levels are so great right now, especially since I was active before I became pregnant.\u00a0 Right now being in my third trimester my energy can be up one moment and then I just get so tired.\u00a0 I still will afrikoPOP until this baby drops. I just get as much rest as I can and do the events and programs I can do.\r\n<\/p>\r\n6)\u00a0What fitness advice would you give to someone who is pregnant or planning to get pregnant?<\/strong>\r\n

\r\nI give the same advice to both parties. Start now, even 10 minutes of dancing in the house does the body good. Do what you enjoy and try something new a prenatal yoga class, water aerobics, at the simplest level, walk for 10 minutes. Something is better than nothing.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
