FOR ALL MY PREGNANT WOMEN OUT THERE….watch out for this BAD workout advice:
“Just continue doing what you were doing before…”
Raise your hand if you were a runner, a power lifter, loved your Bootcamp classes, cycling or anything other high impact – high intensity workouts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now you know me – I help women continue to do the movement they love during pregnancy and beyond BUT not taking ANY considerations for CORE SUPPORT, PELVIC FLOOR and PRESSURE MANAGEMENT is just plain silly.⠀⠀⠀
That’s IF you want to keep doing what you love.
See the pictures? That’s me deadlifting and squatting quite a bit of weight – SAFELY at 8 months pregnant!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LISTENING to your body is essential to prenatal exercise and I would NEVER SUGGEST OTHERWISE – doing so may increase the risk of core dysfunction in postpartum recovery. You have to keep your END goal in mind.⠀⠀
Inside MIGHTY MOM TO BE – we do just that! It’s the third foundation in my program and honestly it’s just as important as the first two – core breathing and pre pregnancy ability. Mighty Mom To Be is focused on getting you strong and ready for one of the biggest days of your life.⠀
Want to join us and move without fear in pregnancy? Want to lift and feel GREAT about it? Exercise is a Wonderful tool to setting up your mind and body for a easy labor and delivery.
Another program starts on soon! We’d love to have you 🙂
