Welcome to Fierce & Fearless podcast where we’re pulling back the curtain to debunk the falsehoods around pregnancy and exercise, breaking down the benefits and importance of staying active during this time. There’s a world of research out there highlighting how physical activity can reduce the risk of C-sections, gestational diabetes, and unnecessary weight gain, while boosting your energy levels. Plus, it’s not just about you - it’s about your baby too!
Wondering how to safely incorporate exercise into your pregnancy routine or how to adapt your fitness goals?
We’ve got you covered. Uncovering the truth about exercising during pregnancy, we discuss how to introduce physical activity into your daily life if you weren't previously active and how to adjust your fitness goals throughout the journey. Let’s also put an end to the guilt around being 'selfish' for exercising during pregnancy. In this episode we're busting some major myths around pregnancy and exercise, armed with personal insights and research-backed evidence.
