Kritik und Lob » suspension. The All-Star right fiel

Three-time Olympic gold medalist Heather Mitts retired from soccer in 2013, then moved on to the next challenge: starting a family with husband A.J. Feeley. A lifelong athlete, she knew she wanted to continue working out throughout her pregnancy. Its a part of who I am, she says.When she became pregnant with her son, Connor, in 2013, less than a year after the London Games, she was able to do CrossFit until she was six months along, plus Pilates, elliptical work and running until two days before delivering.With her second pregnancy, it wasnt so easy. Living in the suburbs with a toddler in tow, she looked around and found she just didnt have as many options.When I was playing soccer, it was my job, she says. It was the first thing I would do every day. But as a mom, it can fall to the bottom of your list. I needed something I could do at home.But she wanted more from her training than what she could find online. She had struggled with diastasis recti, a separation in the abs experienced by as many as two-thirds of women during pregnancy, and she knew it was crucial to focus on safe core strengthening moves.Ninety percent of women arent even aware they have it and can actually make it worse by doing the wrong exercises, she says.And so, Mitts partnered with sports physiologist and fellow University of Florida athlete Shannon Grady to develop a plan of exercises she could do throughout her pregnancy to prepare her whole body for birth and beyond. For Mitts, it paid off.?I felt amazing, even toward the end of the pregnancy. I had a lot of energy, no back pain, and I was shocked at how quick I was able to get back in shape afterwards, she says.Mitts was so inspired by the knowledge she gained that she created a series of workouts for pregnant athletes on her website, HeatherMittsEmpoweredPregnancy.com. She shared four of her favorite core moves with us:Modified side plankLie on your side with knees bent at 90 degrees. Raise your hips and torso off the floor, supported by your forearm with your shoulder over your elbow.

Do three reps per side.Prone plank with ballStarting with your fitness ball behind you, lower your hands to the floor for support and lift the tops of your feet or shins onto the ball. Come down to a plank on your forearms and elbows. Make sure to tighten your glutes, pull in your pelvic floor and keep your back flat. Hold for 15 seconds, then slowly come off the ball.Prone plank on ball with knee tuckGet into a plank position on your forearms with the tops of your feet or shins on a ball.

Beltre even came out of the celebration at home plate with his shirt hanging around his waist. The homer by Beltre leading off the ninth gave the Rangers a 2-1 victory Wednesday night over the Los Angeles Angels, completing a three-game series sweep in which Texas won each on game-ending home runs. "Being able to walk off three times in a row, and our offence has been the reason why we struggled the last few weeks, and our offence is getting a lot better," Beltre said. "And it starts with me. I havent been swinging the bat real well, hitting in the middle of the lineup and not doing my job, but the last couple of games have been better and hopefully it creates that for everybody."

"Its overwhelming really," manager Ron Washington said. "We just kept battling, and you know when were at our best, this is what you get. Not three walk-off home runs, but the different people getting it done. And thats what we need, is different people getting it done." Texas won the series opener Monday night when A.J.

Unfortunately, Perez outpitched him." Williams scattered eight hits over 7 2-3 innings with two walks and one strikeout. The right-hander, who had an 8.90 ERA and five losses his previous seven starts, left with two on in the eighth, when Kohn got Ian Kinsler on an inning-ending flyball.
