Baby girl & I still doing what we can 🏋🏻♀️💪🏼💕 .

I get asked all the time if I’m still working out regularly. The answer is YES, but my workouts look sooo different than they used to. I’ve reduced my loads on any weightlifting that I’m still doing, I’ve dialed back the intensity of my workouts, and I’ve cut a lotttt of movements out altogether. So yes, this photo may be of 55# overhead squats rather than #155... but I’m still getting in there, still moving, and 100% not ashamed of my scaled game!
On a similar note - I wanted to do a quick plug for brianna.battles podcast, Practice Brave ✨ I’ve been loving listening to these episodes and have found them to be so relatable and full of such GOOD information. So much of this is brand new for me and there have definitely been times that I’ve felt like I was in the dark. What should I do, what shouldn’t I do, what does “listen to your body” even mean?? How do I change my mindset and shift my priorities around training now that my body is going through these huge physical changes? How can I make smart choices now with my long term health and recovery in mind? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ If you’re a pregnant or postpartum athlete, or if you are a coach who works with pregnant or postpartum athletes, I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen!
