Lindsay’s prenatal and postnatal exercise course was thorough and a great foundation to build individualized exercise programs for clients and patients. I greatly appreciate her knowledge of safe techniques for my patients during and after their pregnancies. Even my male patients have benefited from some of the core stabilization exercises she covers. I really enjoyed expanding my exercise “toolbox” for my patients with this great course!

I used Lindsay’s workouts through all five of my pregnancies. And being in better shape now, than I ever was as an athlete in high school, I knew I wanted to help others like Lindsay helped me. I was a Stay at Home Mom with visions of “some day” doing something for myself. I always thought that “some day” would be after my youngest went to Kindergarten. Instead I enrolled in the course, planning to take it at my own pace. And within a weekend I had completed the course. I am planning on starting my own business and I found the Instructor Tools helpful in getting me started. Lindsay offers a play-by-play of her business and how she started. I feel confident and am really excited to get started!

I had been teaching Boot Camp for 11 years. I started before I became and mom and was so excited that I could work from 6-8am in the morning and make $60k a year. As my Boot Camps became more and more popular I noticed an influx of postnatal moms. I found I could help them lose weight, but and I didn’t know help them get a healthy core again. Lindsay’s 3 phase core recovery is just perfect – I use it for everybody. You wouldn’t believe the difference – I never knew 90% of people do crunches the wrong way and don’t know how to activate the deepest core muscle (I am included in this 90%). Needless to say I am confident in training moms now, we need customized exercises! And since completing the course, I introduced Stroller Pump. It is fantastic because Lindsay creates all the exercises for a pre and postnatal mom, so you don’t have to think!

After using Lindsay’s DVDs during both of my high-risk pregnancies, getting into the best shape of my life, and becoming a group fitness instructor, I decided to get certified as a Prenatal & Postnatal Fitness Specialist through Moms into Fitness. Since I enjoy Lindsay’s videos and books so much, I was pleased to see that the certification contained in-depth information on the tips and techniques that I used to get my own body back. Both the manual and videos were easy to comprehend, while being grounded in up-to-date, ACOG-backed research. The quizzes were thorough and straightforward and tested your knowledge of the material in a practical way. Additionally, the case studies gave me the opportunity to critically think about the material and apply it to real-life situations. Now that I’m certified, I can’t wait to help other moms feel comfortable during pregnancy and after and to bring prenatal and postnatal fitness classes to my local health club. I may even start my own business someday!
