I remember when I was pregnant (living in Santee at the time) and I searched and searched the internet for prenatal exercise classes and all I could find was a gentle yoga. I ended up attending the yoga classes and it was relaxing but it did not give me the cardio and strength I was looking for! Pregnancy is not a state of weakness and I was looking for a way to get my heart pumping and stay strong! Labor and Delivery is similar to a marathon, which requires a lot of training.  I don't think anyone would want to participate in a marathon after nine months of inactivity. I am so glad that I kept fit during my pregnancy because my labor ended up being twenty six hours! The strength and endurance I had during labor and the three hours of pushing was definitely a result of staying fit throughout my pregnancy. I admit I was nervous about exercising during pregnancy because my doctor didn't give me specific instructions and there wasn't very much information on the internet that I could trust. This is another reason why I am so excited to offer Fit4Baby Prenatal Classes! I want to help educate pregnant mommies on the benefits of exercise during pregnancy and provide a safe environment to gain the strength for motherhood! Each Class will provide cardio, strength training, balance, and flexibility with modifications for every stage of pregnancy. There will be a guided meditation at the end of class which will also serve as a lullaby for your baby :)

Fit4Baby classes will be held on Tuesdays at 7pm.

To Burn or Not to Burn is the Question

Everyone loves the smell of a fire during the holiday season. But wood burning fireplaces introduce unique hazards, including the possible emission of toxic chemicals. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency identifies some of these toxic chemicals as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dioxin and inhalable particulate matter. These air pollutants can cause a wide range of health problems such as burning eyes, coughing, headaches and bronchitis.

To minimize the emission of toxic chemicals with a wood-burning fire:

• Only burn dry seasoned hardwoods like oak, hickory and ash
• Avoid burning soft woods like pine and cedar
• Avoid burning wet wood and wood treated in any way (like painted wood, plywood, etc.)
• Never burn plastics, cardboard, garbage, gift wrapping, magazines, etc.

If you want the beauty of a fire without the big environmental impact, light soy or beeswax candles. Get several large pillar candles or varying heights and place them on a flat surface in your fireplace. They are cleaner and gentler on the environment, but are every bit as beautiful and fragrant. Plus they last longer!
