I have really ejoyed reading the blog of Cassandra Forysthe over the past few weeks. I am not sure where I first heard Cassandra's name. It may have been when I purchased the book, The New Rules of Lifting for Women. She is a co author along with Lou Shuler and Alwyn Cosgrove. That was a few years ago when their book came out. Since then, I have heard her name throughout the fitness industry.
What inspired me to first read her blog was her personal accounts of being pregnant, teaching her boot camp and still lifting heavy weights. She has since given birth to a healthy little girl and has done an incredible job balancing all of her commitments. She has been a very vocal proponent of continuing with a healthy and active lifestyle throughout pregnancy. Recently, her blog has been dedicated to interviewing various women who were quite fitness enthusiasts during their pregnancies. Check it out!

When I discovered I was pregnant, I knew I wanted and needed to remain active. I love fitness and exercise and how it makes me feel. I contacted Cassandra and thanked her for her openness about her experience teaching, lifting weights and making women everywhere feel that pregnancy is not a time to give up your efforts in the gym. She inspired me to keep at it, as long as I feel good, and continue to work hard!
