TBM EPI 2: When a woman gets pregnant, there's a lot of well-meaning advice.
They can be told to not lift over 20 lbs, to not lift on their back or exercise on their back, to not hold their breath while lifting.
Christina has published (with her research team) the ONLY study that has looked at women that did heavy strength training during their pregnancies on outcomes.
In this episode, Christina talks about common myths, where these myths come from and what the research ACTUALLY says.
She then goes on to help you talk to your midwife or obstetrician if they are giving you some of these recommendations. Strength training is unbelievably beneficial for pregnant mamas and we want to be ENCOURAGING getting stronger
