I started this routine to get “me time” before the day got busy, but was immediately humbled by my children 🫣😅 tbh I had a bad attitude about it at first, but this is some of what’s helped me #morningroutine #morningworkout #momof2 #postpartum #motherhood

Anyone can “lock in”. The real flex is finding a balance that allows you to stay consistent even when you’re not motivated. ⁣ ⁣ #motherhood #postpartum #postpartumfitness #momof2 #runningjourney

The training you didn’t see 👇⁣ ⁣ Educating myself on physiological birth, reviewing labor positions and pushing techniques with my pelvic PT, breathwork + pelvic mobility in the ANDA app, carefully selecting my care team and discussing how we’d handle different situations so I could stay calm in the moment.⁣ ⁣ While strength training and cardio have benefits for mom & baby during pregnancy -⁣ ⁣ Training for pregnancy vs training for delivery are two different things.⁣ ⁣ During pregnancy, you want strong muscles that can support the load of your growing belly and provide stability to your joints.⁣ ⁣ During delivery, you want RELAXED muscles which might not come naturally during the intensity of labor.⁣ ⁣ Does this mean you shouldn’t strength train during pregnancy?⁣ ⁣ No.⁣ ⁣ But it does mean that you should balance that strength training with breathwork, mobility, and an awareness of what it takes to keep labor progressing.⁣ ⁣ #pregnancy #pregnancytips #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyfitness
