Podcasts about pregnancy fitness

In this vulnerable episode, Ashleigh shares her pregnancy and birth story from the recent birth of her daughter. She covers topics including: Her symptoms and overall experience during pregnancy, and how it differed from her first How she managed severe pubic symphysis pain, and her experience with pelvic floor physiotherapy All the details of her unmedicated water birth and the immediate postpartum period Information on her exercise and nutrition The ups and downs of being a parent of two, and how this is impacting her fitness and overall health And much more! And listeners learned about the NEW program from Muscle Science for Women: The Fit Pregnancy Specialization program! There has been a slight delay in launch, but if you want to be the first to gain access to the program (and our early bird discount) you can email and let us know at musclescience4women@gmail.com  If you're interested in listening to Ashleigh's episode all about her first pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience, you can listen to it here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4FHQRW8LMDEXt2lLUgpLVz?si=eb5dab46d9ba4e6b If you have comments, feedback, or questions please send them to musclescience4women@gmail.com.

While we wait for Ashleigh to recover from her second birth, we decided to re-release an episode from before the rebranding of the podcast. Back in 2021, when the podcast was called Muscle Maven Radio, Ashleigh did a long deep dive about her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience with her son Magnus. If you're pregnant, looking to become pregnant, know someone going through this, or simply love hearing these kinds of stories, this one is for you.  She covers a lot of her decision-making processes around how she decided to eat, workout, her birth plan and birth team, her mindset, how she specifically "prepared" for birth, her recovery journey, and so much more. Hopefully this episode helps you get more clarity on making your own decisions around your birth story. Thanks for listening and please send your feedback, questions, or topic ideas to musclescience4women@gmail.com. Shoutout to our show sponsor Active Stacks! They make high-quality collagen peptide powder and beef protein powder in two delicious flavors, chocolate and vanilla. They're made with cocoa and vanilla paste, not that unexplained "natural flavoring" you see listed everywhere, so it tastes better and mixes well into your protein shakes or baking. The chocolate flavor literally tastes like chocolate milk - it's a great way to get a collagen boost in your daily diet.

Now is the time to take charge of your health this holiday season as a busy mom or a  mom-to-be. This time of year can be extra busy with the tendency to put yourself last. Today, Jenn Lathrop, a pregnancy and postpartum fitness coach, explains why health and happiness should be your top priorities. With tips and tools about exercise and pregnancy, Jenn breaks down some myths. Due to the misinformation out there, many pregnant women rest their bodies rather than move. During pregnancy, this is actually not what most women should do. We should be keeping our bodies healthy and moving in ways to support ourselves for delivery and the health of our babies.It doesn't mean we should continue to exercise the same way as before. Moving our bodies while pregnant requires special precautions. I'm personally excited about Jenn's hugging the baby method and even started doing it during our interview. It's that easy. Additionally, Jenn shares information about sleeping myths we are told as pregnant women. And shares how we can stay healthy and happy postpartum. It is easier to be a better mom, wife, friend, or coworker when we are able to keep our bodies and minds healthy. Today Jenn shares her wisdom on how to safely keep ourselves healthy during this season of our lives.Grab your AirPods, and a notebook, and let's go.Connect with Jenn Lathrop and grab her Free at Home Pregnancy Plan Connect with Emmy  @theheyheyemmyemmycornwell.comReinvent your Homorone Story:  A new innovation for women.  A first-of-its-kind approach for delivering intuitive nutrition for optional normal healthOrder the Menstrual Formula-Synched to the phases of your unique cycle.Order the Menopausal Formula-Featuring proprietary Estro-OS (TM) Complex to help improve normal symptoms of menopauseWant to Partner with Emmy in Social RetailHey hey, sister...so excited to get to know you!

Now is the time to take charge of your health this holiday season as a busy mom or a  mom-to-be. This time of year can be extra busy with the tendency to put yourself last. Today, Jenn Lathrop, a pregnancy and postpartum fitness coach, explains why health and happiness should be your top priorities. With tips and tools about exercise and pregnancy, Jenn breaks down some myths. Due to the misinformation out there, many pregnant women rest their bodies rather than move. During pregnancy, this is actually not what most women should do. We should be keeping our bodies healthy and moving in ways to support ourselves for delivery and the health of our babies.It doesn't mean we should continue to exercise the same way as before. Moving our bodies while pregnant requires special precautions. I'm personally excited about Jenn's hugging the baby method and even started doing it during our interview. It's that easy. Additionally, Jenn shares information about sleeping myths we are told as pregnant women. And shares how we can stay healthy and happy postpartum. It is easier to be a better mom, wife, friend, or coworker when we are able to keep our bodies and minds healthy. Today Jenn shares her wisdom on how to safely keep ourselves healthy during this season of our lives.Grab your AirPods, and a notebook, and let's go.Connect with Jenn Lathrop and grab her Free at Home Pregnancy Plan Connect with Emmy on the GRAM  @theheyheyemmy or hang out on Facebook.As always, this episode is brought to you by my favorite Liquid Collagen.

Pregnancy Podcast – Episode 29: Pregnancy Fitness with Sara Haley We have a very special guest with us today, Sara Haley is here to talk all about exercise during Pregnancy. Sara is a certified trainer and instructor by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and a certified Pre/Post Natal Exercise Specialist by the American Fitness […] The post 29: Pregnancy Fitness with Sara Haley appeared first on Growing Our Family Podcasts.

Kim Vopni is a mom of two, a personal trainer and owner of Bellies, Inc and The Vagina Coach. She is the author of Prepare To Push, Your Pelvic Floor The Inside Story and Pregnancy Fitness published by Human Kinetics. She is also a speaker and a women's health educator who passionately talks the taboo. She has a busy online coaching practice and also offers DIY pelvic floor fitness programs for women in pregnancy and beyond. Growing up terrified of childbirth, Kim's relationship with her mother gave her another woman's experience with motherhood. After not wanting children most of her life, and choosing to focus on herself and her journey with physical fitness and well being. Following her journey and watching her sister grow into motherhood, Kim decided to have a child and being curious, leaned into the experience and used a pelvic floor trainer Epi-No, recommenced by her midwives (unfortunately no longer available in Canada). Following the success of her birth and loving the experience, she became a distributor for the product. After being laid off from her job, she leaned into selling this product and using her network of midwives, she learned more about pelvic floor therapist, something she had heard of and learned more about. Tying her connections to physical health and wellbeing prior to kids, she became the Vagina Coach. Even though Kim “talks the taboo” the topics she shares and discusses are things people with vaginas deal with regularly. Historically its a topic of shame and embarrassment, and Kim's goals are to destigmatize and make our vagina health less clinical and more relatable. The over-medicalization of childbirth has led women into fear-based reactions and interventions, rather than trusting the process of childbirth, when our bodies have been designed to go through this. But with the rise of social media, and being able to bring awareness to the options available. When given the information, women are able to make the best choice for their bodies. We talk so openly as mothers about what is going on with our children, but we will have so much shame and embarrassment when trying to talk about what's happening to us. From incontinence to bowel issues and pain, it is important to share the issues we face to ease the anxiety and shame, and to heal. Kim works with women in all stages of motherhood, from postpartum to menopause, she works with anyone who has female anatomy. She works with people in prevention or for correction of issues. Kim wants people to take control regardless of their symptoms or lack thereof. The most common issue women face post-childbirth is leaking when they laugh stress urinary incontinence, from exerting a force that the muscles don't have the strength to manage. Urge incontinence is also the sudden urge to use the bathroom without warning. The second would be prolapse. Over 50% of women have some degree of prolapse. Back pain is also another issue, that is very common with pelvic floor weakness. Often times a chiropractor for the pain, yet it is closely tied to the pelvis. Diastasis Recti is another closely tied symptom of pelvic floor challenges. A lot of women cope with these issues and often don't realize how closely tied they are to pelvic floor health. We see dentists for preventative care, why can't we normalize seeing the dentist? Having these conversations early, and often would do wonders for empowerment, movement, birth and general wellness. When we don't know these things are associated you can work on healing them. When we are aware of what the issues are and how to manage them, we are in a position of power and can control the things we do to counter the symptoms. Therapy can help more than a surgical intervention because we are learning different strategies to prevent problems and optimize the outcomes. When we break a leg we go to physiotherapy after surgery to heal the muscle and body after a traumatic injury for rehab.

One of my strongest beliefs is this: You have to learn to take care of yourself in order to better care for your kids. Of course, that often seems more easily said than done. Once the baby comes, life is forever changed. Free time seems to disappear. You're tired all the time. And your body is...different. Pregnancy changes your body in ways that can be both beautiful and challenging. Our culture places so much emphasis on "losing the baby weight" -- but what if there could more than that? What if you could be stronger -- both physically AND mentally -- after your baby than you were before? My guest in this episode knows how to get you there. Lauren Collinsis a phenomenal athlete. After an injury sidelined her Olympic bid in track and field, Lauren channeled her athletic prowess into a career in sports modeling. With her sister, Kelly, she cofounded SISSFiT -- a fitness brand that inspires and empowers women around the world to take their fitness into their own hands. And along the way, Lauren became a mom -- experiencing first-hand the challenges that new moms face, and carving out her own amazing path forward. Lauren Collins will get you inspired and strong -- and shares her top tips for moms in this interview.

Today's episode are dedicated to those that are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant. Many expecting mom's always question "what can I do while pregnant?" and "what should I not do while being pregnant?" The reality is that the more active and fit you are during pregnancy, the easier it will be for you to adapt to your changing shape and weight gain. It will also help you to cope with labor and get back into shape after birth.That said, don’t overdo it. If you are used to train, then great, carry on what you normally do. If you aren’t sure if you should exercise or not, consult your doctor before starting any workout. Every person and pregnancy is different so the following exercises are only a reference for ladies who are used to work out a little and for whom the pregnancy is all going well.While exercising is good for you, avoid high risk movements such as contact sports and any other exercises where you can easily lose balance. Even during your first trimester, your blood pressure may be low and you may get dizzy. Don’t start something new and listen to your body. If it feels wrong, don’t do it.Drink a lot of water as you will get dehydrated during your workout. Monitor your heart rate (many doctors recommend to keep it under 140 bpm) as well as your temperature, take longer breaks in between your exercises and stay away from multi-joint movements.Working out during your pregnancy is a great way to help you stay fit without compromising your baby’s health. It will help you perform a quicker and easier delivery.During this episode, I will cover the top 1st trimester exercises that are great for even the most nauseous times in your life....thank you all day morning sickness. Stay tuned this week for the launch of The Determined FIT Pregnancy Program. That will keep you strong and healthy throughout your entire pregnancy and a bonus, postpartum series that will get you fit after your baby is born.

Even during your first trimester, your blood pressure may be low and you may get dizzy. Don’t start something new and listen to your body. If it feels wrong, don’t do it.Drink a lot of water as you will get dehydrated during your workout. Monitor your heart rate (many doctors recommend to keep it under 140 bpm) as well as your temperature, take longer breaks in between your exercises and stay away from multi-joint movements.Working out during your pregnancy is a great way to help you stay fit without compromising your baby’s health. It will help you perform a quicker and easier delivery.During this episode, I will cover the top 1st trimester exercises that are great for even the most nauseous times in your life....thank you all day morning sickness. Stay tuned this week for the launch of The Determined FIT Pregnancy Program. That will keep you strong and healthy throughout your entire pregnancy and a bonus, postpartum series that will get you fit after your baby is born.
