This is the episode where I try to make amends for what many fitness experts tell you regarding working out until you give birth (myself included). Bragging that you did burpees or ran a 5K the day before labor may be great social media content, but is it really the best for a productive labor?
Even back when I was teaching barre at a fitness studio to now working with and being connected to many fitness experts/fitness junkies, I noticed a high correlation between intensity leading up to birth and longer, more intense labors. That got me thinking:
If you’re looking to help prepare your body for, or help it recover from giving birth, I encourage you to check out my Strong As A Mother Prenatal and Postpartum courses.
