		<description><![CDATA[When someone says, "Now I know why I used to be skinny, too, I was burning all those calories chasing my kids," a small voice inside me yearns to receive some credit for the fact that I have to work HARD darnit to take off baby pounds, and not just once, FOUR times!  I should be a freakin' pro at weight loss by now!  Yes, I have learned a lot, and yes, I do take the weight off, at least by 1 year post partum, but I sweat and strain for every pound I lose!  I WISH it were as easy as just "chasing after my kids" - SHEESH!  Anyway, no matter what people think, or what excuses they want to make for themselves, the reward, for me, is not in the compliments, it is in the satisfaction I feel when I put on my pre-4th-baby favorite pair of Joe's Jeans!  My reward is the 9 miles I can run, because I am grateful for a healthy body that I can discipline and train, a body that has delivered four healthy children into this world and that gets me around in life and allows me to enjoy every blessing in each present day!

It is important in providing support for pelvic organs like the bladder, intestines, and the uterus (in females), and in maintenance of continence (so [...]

2. We don&#8217;t have much time to do anything about it.
That is why, as a busy mother of four I look for exercises and workouts that give me &#8220;two or three [...]
