Pregnancy CrossFit Workout - Fit Pregnancy

Alexa Jean Fitness - Pregnancy Workouts, CrossFit, Fit Pregnancy





·         30 air squats
·         20 modified push-ups
·         15 kettlebell dead lifts
·         10 half burpees

On days I'm just not feeling the gym, I resort to a quick CrossFit workout. I feel much more energized and alert. The lost important thing is listen to your body and don't overdo it. 

Many studies have shown that working out throughout your pregnancy not only benefits yourself but the baby as well. Increased oxygen and brain stimulation has shown to be a direct result of prenatal exercising. You'll also recover from labor and delivery much quicker.

RECAP! Last month

Where have I been the last few weeks!? AHH Planning the baby shower with my family members and close girlfriends, (including making my own baby shower invites), still decorating Baby Logan’s room, desperately trying to keep up on my fitness blog and all the amazing emails I’ve been receiving from my readers (I absolutely love hearing from all of you, keep it up!), and of course working, working, working! Anyhoo! SO much has happened in the last month, don’t worry I’m here to share it alllll with you. =]
First off, my dear friend Ashley got married! We couldn’t make it but I was able to celebrate with her along the way.
And I HAVE to share her AMAZING wedding photos done by Courtney Sargent. I’m so excited that she’ll be doing our newborn photos!! EEEK =]

She is stunning! 
4th of July was so relaxing! We BBQ , swam and lit our own fireworks with some friends of ours.

Megan and I are just a few weeks apart!
We also got to see Logan in 3D! Thank you Ellie for making this possible for us, it was amazing!

Troy’s family came into town from Colorado to visit and celebrate with us at the baby shower.








It was such an awesome weekend with them. Cara’s beautiful little girls Riley and Scarlett completely stole my heart. 
I hope you all are having a fabulous week! Yay for Friday!

Style Trend - Accessories From IMSMI Style

WOWIE! I'm obsessed with these watches and this website - IMSMIStyle.com



I've never ordered from them before but they seem pretty reasonable (these striped watches are only $29 each) and it's different from the things you can find at Charming Charlie which is usually my go-to for accessories.

Wishing bird necklace
Spike bangle bracelet
Arrow bracelet


Once I finally decide what to order, I'll keep you posted on the quality and everything once I get it in the mail!
