LIFE AT THE MOMENT

In 2020 I became pregnant with our first child! Although I was met with some challenges during my pregnancy (as we all are!) I was able to keep myself motivated to stay active right up until I gave birth. Workouts went from 60 minutes to 30 and it was all I needed a few times a week! We also got our puppy at 20 weeks and she kept me moving all day every day! After I gave birth I developed de Quervain tenosynovitis in my dominant wrist. It was the most excruciating pain that I had to deal with! It started when Jake was only 4 months old and lasted for over a year! YES! I am still dealing with it to this day! For the majority of that time I could not lift anything else aside from him! No weights, No planks, some days I couldn’t even drive or write!

This took a major toll on my mental health, not being able to do daily tasks or even exercise without being in excruciating pain was very difficult for me! To say I was frustrated was a Huge understatement; me, the “fit personal trainer” was plagued with another injury! I was so grateful to have access to the EMS suits. It was the only thing I could do to work out my upper body. I cannot express how amazing EMS was and is for me postpartum.

I had an emergency C-section and after 2 sessions with the suit I was able to recruit my deep core muscles (The transverse abdominis)!! I was in total shock with how well the suit activated my muscles! Not to mention the amazing strength training I got! Some other amazing benefits for me were immediately noticeable strength and muscle recruitment, the ability to intensify an area of focus while still working out the whole body, the efficiency of the workout (20 min in my own home!!!).
