Exercise During Pregnancy Guidelines for Athletes with Tricia DeNardis, PT, DPT

Holley Fueled Nutrition Podcast

In this episode of the podcast I chatted with Tricia DeNardis, DPT of @burpeesandburpcloths about current recommendations and guidelines for exercise during pregnancy including debunking some myths that have been circulating in the prenatal world that can confuse some pregnant athletes. Do you need to keep your heart rate below 140? Do you need to not lift anything over 20lbs? Should you really just "do what you've always done" pre pregnancy during pregnancy? Does exercise cause miscarriage? How should we modify certain movements in later trimesters? What can you do about certain aches and pains that arise during pregnancy? What should runners consider specifically? And so much more!
