Live Online Belly Mama Program
In the live online class version, I offer the same small group and personalized attention as in my in-person classes but it is given through Zoom. I suggest certain equipment but we can make due with what you have at home too. I offer a 10 min consult with each participant online before they start to discuss any injuries or issues going on and at the same time see what equipment they might have and make recommendations to them directly.
Here are some things that are suggested for the circuit training:
-small pair of free weights (5lbs for example)
-stability ball (it's a great tool to have for labor, bouncing on with baby and for exercise)
-mini band or a resistance band
-mat
-we are creative to find ways to do our cardio: different exercises, stairs, little step etc.
* I am available over Zoom to go over any exercise or to make a suggestion depending on what is needed throughout the session.
**If you are new to class I am offering a 10 min consult to go over anything that I need to know of in terms of injuries or any issues I should know about and including your personal goals!
