Why are there not more free resources on how to heel a diastasis recti on the internet? Why are people not giving proper instruction on how to activate the pelvic floor and core to close the ab gap? Why is it so hard to find good, reliable and accurate information when it comes to ab

You’ve heard of Veganism, Paleo, Keto, Intermittent Fasting but what is the best diet for you based on your DNA? Turns out, if you’ve taken a genetic test from 23andMe or Ancestry.com, you can find out pretty quick. Sort of. Recently, DNA Diet Plan reached out to me to test their services. The DNA Diet

When it comes to making dinner, I need easy solutions that take minimal ingredients, prep time and preferably no real “recipe.” It’s hard to follow a recipe on your phone when you have a 3 year old running around and a 9 month old screeching unless I want to eat at 9 pm. Spoiler, I

He might almost be 10 months but I wanted to share what life is like with a 9 month old and a 3 year old brother. Unlike Tommy, Connor is pretty average when it comes to height and weight. He’s in the 55% percentile for height and about 75% for weight at 21 lbs! Tommy

You’ve probably heard of Great Wolf Lodge. It’s the indoor water park everyone raves about. Turns out, it’s not just a water park but has many other cool family friendly activities. I was recently invited as part of a press trip to experience their new Summer Camp-In programming. I got a lot of questions on

Wow, it’s been a hot minute since I blogged. Who knew a taking on a new business adventure (FWTFL), a family and preschool volunteer could keep me away from my original love, BLOGGING and creating VIDEOS. Last month, I took my first trip away from Connor to South Carolina with Graco and Michelin who have

I did not write this truth bomb. It was written by a mom of three named Sarah Buckley Friedberg. She shared it on Facebook and it went viral for a reason. Society to working moms:  Go back to work 6-8 weeks after having the baby. The baby that you spent 9-10 months growing inside of

If you are looking for ways to repair or fix your diastasis recti, you’ve come to the right place. After years of thinking that I knew what I was doing, I saw a pelvic floor specialist and realize that while I “knew” what to do and what not to do, I was not actually engaging

I think working moms who breastfeed have the motivation of a start up CEO who grinds 24/7. I don’t know how you do it, but you do. Add on top of that a working mom who travels a lot, is a goddess. I guess it’s one of those things that you just don’t think about

When I used to diet for photoshoots in my 20’s, I would always reward myself with a treat at the end. Slowly, the weight that I lost would creep back on until the next shoot. I was so self conscious if I wasn’t in my top shape but it was hard to maintain because I

I love seafood. It’s definitely my protein of choice for taste and nutrition. Eating fish during pregnancy benefits children’s brain development as well as increases your chances of carrying your baby to term. A study at Harvard even found that eating 2 servings per week of omega-3 rich fish lowered risk of dying from coronary

Many people have asked me for my opinion of the Baha Mar resort! You might have seen it on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and it really is beautiful. They stayed at the Rosewood which is one of three hotels that make up the resort, the Grand Hyatt where we stayed as well as

It seems fitting that my first round starts one week from today and I’m sharing my review of the FASTer Way To Fat Loss® program. Quick conclusion if you don’t want to watch above: I lost 5 inches and 5 lbs in 6 weeks! While weighing yourself is not part of the final program, I

We just got back from a 5 night vacation in the Bahamas at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar and wanted to share a review while it is still fresh in my mind. Tommy had two weeks off and I knew we had to go somewhere warm. In November, a friend of mine went to the

I’ve been saying this for years but after having a baby, you really should go to a physical therapist for your pelvic floor and if you believe you have a diastasis recti. As a personal trainer, you do not learn the basics when it comes to healing. While I have done a ton of research

While I’m working on my review, I wanted to share a video we shot during week 2 of the FASTer Way To Fat Loss program. Unlike many other diet programs I have tried, this one does not tell you what to eat but rather gives you macronutrients guidelines. They have a few daily suggestions of

I don’t talk about eating disorders often on my blog but I do talk about disordered eating. This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness week and I’ve been seeing a lot of posts from my friends and felt compelled to share my own story. The theme for this year is “Come as you are.”  Come

I created this standing crunch-less ab workout in September of 2011. I recently stumbled upon it and realized it is actually a really good postpartum ab workout as well. And speaking of 2011, this was prime crazy dieting Sarah. Sure my abs look good in this video but all I thought about was food. I

I am a failure this month in at least two things in my life. The first is sleep training. I wrote 3 posts about the method we were doing proactively when Connor was 4 months old and consequently how it was going. Is Connor sleeping through the night now at 7 months? No. The other

“Who ever says Pilates is easy has never taken my Pilates class.” – Jenn Phelan I am obsessed with this 5 minute Pilates Core Workout. I remember filming this and could not stop shaking. Sometimes, all I have are 5 minutes to work my abs and this is perfect. You do not need any equipment.

Itching to get back to working out after baby? I often get messages from moms wanting to workout shortly after giving birth. They want to know what they should start with and when they can start! Of course I need to recommend that you wait to start any fitness program after delivering a baby until

I get a lot of questions about safe arm workouts postpartum that people can do asap. I would recommend waiting as long as your body needs but if you’re antsy, this one is a safe place to start. Post baby workouts are no joke. Do not start exercising again until your body is ready. While

Not a review but an update on how I’m liking the Faster Way To Fat Loss program today. I’m starting to write this at 10:51 am post biceps, triceps and back workout but before breaking fast. I’m feeling blah. Do I need a cup of coffee? Should I eat something earlier than planned? I must

Oh how I miss yoga. Before having kids, I used to go religiously once a week to a 60 or 90 minute class. These days, the length of a regular yoga class feels part selfish and part time consuming. If I have 2 hours in a day to myself and I have 5 things I
