Crystal McCrary-Anthony:

This mom and author is in better shape now than before she had her baby. Her diet and exercise program give her the energy to keep up her hectic schedule with her toddler and to travel with her husband, Chicago Bulls guard Greg Anthony.

I became pregnant and was having a great time eating for two. After a few weeks, I began to gain weight too quickly and wanted to get on a fitness program that my doctor approved.*

Being pregnant, I needed a healthy, effective program that wasn’t a get-fit-quick scam. I needed a balanced and safe program. I found that in Victoria’s Body Revival program. It was simple and easy to follow. I learned how to eat for my body type and I learned how to work out in a way that I developed long lean muscles instead of bulking up.

I can’t believe how incredible I felt. Victoria’s program was perfect for me because I loved being pregnant and I didn’t want to miss any part of the process. Victoria’s approach focused on me as a whole person. Her program involved the mind, body and spirit. I had a healthy delivery and I recovered so quickly. Because of the thoroughness of the program and the effectiveness of the training, I was up and back to working out in no time. My figure came back quickly, I had great energy and I had no postpartum blues. I never knew how great the benefits of exercise were for a healthy pregnancy.

Initially I was nervous about fitting my workouts in with a new baby and a busy schedule. Being married to a professional athlete can be chaotic and hectic. We travel a lot and we have an unpredictable schedule. I am a writer as well and that means I have a lot of deadlines. Victoria’s techniques translate to any workout facility and the nutrition plan is so functional that I follow it at restaurants all over the globe. And she taught me the importance of hydration. Now I never leave home without my water bottle.

Today, almost two years after my son’s birth, I’m still in incredible shape. I’ve got the physique and attitude that reflects Victoria’s teachings. The results from the program never go away. I am in better shape now than I was before I got pregnant. My stomach is flat, my thighs are sculpted and my husband loves the way I look in a swimsuit.
