During the past year, Emily has worked with myself (Dr. Lindsey Mathews, DC) to better understand the body in relation to pregnancy and postpartum. Emily has spent hours coaching classes at DEUCE Gym as well as personally training clients (both pregnant, postpartum, and not pregnant at all).

Training
- 5 Rounds:
- 25′ Bear Crawl
- 10 Alternating Kettle Bell Snatches
- 25′ Bear Crawl
- 10 Squats
Notes
- Rookie: Go at your own pace. Pick a weight that you can press overhead with no problem. Alternate between right and left for each rep.
- Prospect: If you are feeling good, then make this into intervals. Try a one to one (1:1) work to rest scenario. Pick a KB that you can press overhead with no issues. Perhaps between 15-35lbs.
- All-Star: Try interval style just as mentioned above. However, try to start a new round every 2 minutes. Pick a KB that you can press overhead and maybe one that’s a little heavier than what you would swing with.
