They carry themselves with a lot more confidence and are much happier with their new bodies! I highly recommend that every women give themselves the chance to experience the difference with Sara’s workouts!!! Victoria Ricasata

If you want to lose weight Do NOT skip meals!  When you skip a meal your body doesn’t get the fuel it needs to function at it’s best so you will feel low energy and irritability.  Also, the weight you lose by skipping meals will be temporary. Once you lose the weight and start eating meals you skipped, you will put back on weight plus even more!  This happens because your body has been “starved” or “deprived”.   Thus when you resume your regular eating habits you are consuming more calories so your weight will go up.

One way to stay motivated to lose weight is to remind yourself of how good you feel after you exercise.  Exercise produces natural highs called “endorphins” that can improve your mood.  Therefore, the more you exercise the more “addicting” it will be.  Once you get in a routine, it will feel strange NOT to exercise!

Total body workout in just 30 minutes!, December 25, 2006 Reviewer: Rachel Gershwin from amazon.com - I am not “post-natal” but borrowed this DVD from a friend anyways because it looked like a great workout for someone with limited time. It was! 30 minutes in the comfort of my own home…definitely worked up a sweat and I could feel all the different muscles being worked. Unlike many workouts, this one addresses both cardio AND toning, and focusses on areas like the upper body that a lot of workout videos for women ignore. Great workout, even if you’re not a mom!

One way to stay focused on your weight loss goals is to remember that you are setting an example for your children.  They watch how you eat, and will follow your example.  I know that my 3 yr. old son always wants a bite of what I’m having.  You truly are a role model, so chose wisely!

My newest DVD, Sara Holliday’s Total Body Toning Workout DVD targets the areas that every mom wants to tone…the belly, hips, thighs, and upper arms.  I was filmed in this DVD just 3 mo. after I had my second baby.  In this video  I share the secret of how I got my body back so quick.  It’s a powerpacked workout that combines a variety of exercises including, kickboxing, aerobics, and pilates.  The best part about my workout is it only takes 30 minutes!  If you do my Total Body Toning Workout a minimum of 3 X per week along with eating healthy I guarentee you will have amazing results!!

“I like the fact this DVD, “Sara’s Total Body Toning Workout“, is a very effective and fast paced program allowing for maximum results in a short time period. Compared to other classes and videos I was able to follow easily as she instructs you on the movements just before you see them on the screen.” Kandra Olsen

When you’re pregnant and in your third trimester, it may feel like there is no room to breathe.  Try this simple yoga exercise to create “space”.  In a comfortable seated position, inhale and extend both arms overhead.  Reach your fingers up as high as you can while keeping both sit bones on the ground or chair.  Exhale release your arms down to your sides.  Repeat the exercise 10-15 times.  You will notice that this prenatal yoga exercise will create “space” for your ribcage so you can breathe easier.

If you’re pregnant you may be thinking that there is no way you can keep your ab muscles strong because you are no longer allowed to lay on your back to do abdominal crunches after your first trimester.  Well, I have some good news for you, there is a lot pregnancy exercises you can do to keep your abs strong while your pregnant!  Try this simple exercise.  Place a mat on the ground and go to all fours.  Place your hands shoulder width a part.  Now inhale and bring one knee towards your chest.  Hold your knee in for 2-5 seconds exhale, then switch legs.  Repeat this sequence working up to 15-20 on each leg.
