When I was pregnant 20 years ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long!), Kettlebells weren’t available. John and I hadn’t met Pavel and the whole Dragon Door journey had not yet begun.
I did my best to stay in shape while pregnant and get back in shape after delivery. How much easier it would have been if I had had this remarkable tool AND the resources to make training with them safe and effective. Ladies you are in luck!
This book is just the thing you need to wiz through pregnancy, healthy and fit, with an easy delivery, healthy baby, and returning to pre-pregnancy shape in record time.
Yoana is just the person to write a book for mothers-to-be using kettlebells as the main training tool to attain all your pregnancy goals. She had been training with kettlebells for many years before getting pregnant for the first time. She has since had child number 2 and bounced right back into her pre-pregnancy shape.
Yoana offers the reader sound information on not only what to expect during pregnancy, but how do those changes affect your workouts. She gives the reader guidelines, such as to what size Kettlebell to use, what exercises can you do safely at each stage in your pregnancy, when to stop or go down in weight. All the while enforcing the idea of listening to your own body and talking with your doctor if you have any concerns.
She gives you guidelines for exercising and journal space for you to design and keep track of your workouts. She sets just the right tone. Pregnancy is not the time for setting PR’s or starting a new exercise program, but it’s also not an excuse to get lazy, eating for two and stopping your workouts.
But what makes this book different from others is the Birth and Post Partum section.
This is where many books miss the boat, they don’t give the mothers safe, effective exercises to get back into shape as quickly and safely as possible.
Of course every women is different, but every women needs to get her core and stability back as soon after birth as possible. This is really where Yoana goes above and beyond other books on this topic. She explains in detail what happens to a women’s body during pregnancy and birth and takes you step by step through a series of exercises to build you back up from the inside out!
This book reminds me of how far we’ve come in the last 10 years. Kettlebells have not only reached out to seniors and older populations, it has reached another group so deserving of it’s benefits – Mothers-To-Be!
Thank you Yoana for writing this book.

Getting pregnant, having Marianna and Esteban Andrés, the whole process was the best thing that ever happened to me. There are so many theories and myths regarding pregnancy. To calm my nerves and gain confidence I decided to follow my instincts and have constant communication with my doctor who told me that times have changed for pregnant women!!! She informed that the majority of healthy woman with a normal and uncomplicated pregnancy should exercise approximately 30 minutes a day 5 to 6 days a week.
When I heard all of the amazing benefits exercising brings during pregnancy, I didn’t have any doubt that I needed to keep training.

"Kettlebell Mommy is an excellent guide for kettlebell use during pregnancy. As Yoana states in the book, it is best for someone who is already experienced with kettlebell use prior to pregnancy. I tell all of my patients to avoid NEW strenuous exercise regimens during pregnancy.
Kettlebell Mommy thoroughly explains the physical changes that most women experience during each trimester and how to modify the exercises to safely adapt to these changes. She encourages the pregnant woman to listen to her body and communicate regularly with her obstetrician to ensure that she may safely be able to exercise throughout her pregnancy.
I took care of Yoana throughout both of her pregnancies and was very impressed by the way she maintained her fitness and strength and adjusted to the physical changes of pregnancy. She did very well through labor and delivery and bounced back in no time! I know this is a result of her excellent health and commitment to safely exercise throughout her pregnancy."
