Pregnancy and postpartum are two of the most transformative—and often misunderstood—chapters in an athlete’s life. From adjusting training in each trimester to safely rebuilding strength after delivery, women are often left with more questions than answers.
In this empowering conversation, we sit down with Jenny Wilder, a women’s fitness specialist dedicated to guiding athletes through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and core reconnection.
Jenny shares her expertise on how women can train safely, return to sport with confidence, and harness the power of deep core work—not only for healing but also for athletic performance. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or simply looking to better connect with your core, this episode is full of actionable insight.
We cover:
• The biggest misconceptions about training during pregnancy.
• Safe modifications for swimming, cycling, running, and strength work.
• What Diastasis Recti is, how to recognize it, and how to heal.
• How to rebuild strength postpartum—c-section vs. vaginal delivery.
• Why proper deep core training benefits every athlete, not just moms.
A huge thank you to Jenny for bringing her wisdom and compassion to this conversation.
