On this edition of UR Podcast, we're talking all about training through pregnancy.
For some, it's the most wonderful of times, for others, it can be far from rainbows and butterflies, and anything but enjoyable.
So when it comes to pregnancy, however, how and where does training fit in? Should you train? Why should you train? Are you training to prepare your body for a pregnancy journey, are you training while pregnant, or are you looking to get back on the mats post-natal? Can you still lift? Should you really be running? What kind of exercises and movements are good for me, or what should I avoid? What are my coaches going to know about or even care about? So many questions!
Thankfully, through UR coaches' own training and development, along with the lived experiences of UR community members on the gym floor, we hope this podcast will bring you some of the answers. From navigating training through different trimesters, to working with coaches to adapt movements and training plans as your body changes and adapts to pregnancy, to overcoming fear and uncertainty, there's a lot to discuss in a shade over 30 minutes.
We'll also hear from Anna May, Clodagh and Marina on this episode as they share some of their own thoughts around training during and post pregnancy, each very much with their own personal experience.
As always, when it comes to training pre, during or post pregnancy, as with all exercise, if you're in any doubt about your health, speak to your GP or a medical expert. For information on pregnancy including warning signs, health and lifestyle, food and drink, exercise and more, visit MyChild.ie.
And if you're a Dad-to-be, this one's for you too!
