010. Making Fitness Attainable for Even the Busiest Mamas - with Dr. Emily

Welcome, Mamas! My name is Dr. Emily and I am a: Bible-believing Christian Happy Wife Mama of 3 under 3 Pelvic Health Physical Therapist Certified Pre and Postnatal Fitness Coach I started @pelvic.floor.fit to inspire, educate, and empower mamas to achieve: a pain-free pregnancy the birth of their dreams a confident postpartum recover Join me as I discuss everything from preconception to menopause with your pelvic health and fitness needs. It is my passion to make these topics easy to understand and practical to apply to even the busiest of seasons. Today I want to talk about how we make fitness actually attainable as busy mamas or someone who maybe doesn't just love exercise. Firstly, it is important to get very clear on our motivation behind exercise. Break bigger goals into smaller chunks. Secondly, we need to find a way to be consistent. This requires us to be efficient with our time, have contingency plans for when obstacles come up, and to pat ourselves on the back for achieving smaller milestones - not just at the finish line. Fitness is actually a lot simpler than you may think - but simple and easy are not the same thing. What does this actually look like in practice? Listen now to find out!

008. Rejecting "Bounce Back Culture" to Embrace Life-Long Health - with Dr. Emily

Welcome, Mamas! My name is Dr. Emily and I am a: Bible-believing Christian Happy Wife Mama of 3 under 3 Pelvic Health Physical Therapist Certified Pre and Postnatal Fitness Coach I started @pelvic.floor.fit to inspire, educate, and empower mamas to achieve: a pain-free pregnancy the birth of their dreams a confident postpartum recover Join me as I discuss everything from preconception to menopause with your pelvic health and fitness needs. It is my passion to make these topics easy to understand and practical to apply to even the busiest of seasons. Today I want to discuss the importance of rejecting "bounce back culture" as a postpartum mama. Unfortunately, there is a massive amount of pressure on mamas to force their bodies to look as if they've never had children. This perspective is so superficial and limited when you consider that pregnancy, birth, and motherhood are the most impressive things that our bodies engage in as women. Furthermore, the societal pressure to look like you did before pregnancy in a matter of weeks causes women to engage in harmful practices that damage their metabolism and health for the rest of their lives. How can we approach postpartum recovery in a way that supports our bodies, minds, and souls for life-long health? Listen now to find out!

006. Why Pelvic Floor Relaxation Is Essential to Birth Prep - with Dr. Emily

Welcome, Mamas! My name is Dr. Emily and I am a: Bible-believing Christian Happy Wife Mama of 3 under 3 Pelvic Health Physical Therapist Certified Pre and Postnatal Fitness Coach I started @pelvic.floor.fit to inspire, educate, and empower mamas to achieve: a pain-free pregnancy the birth of their dreams a confident postpartum recover Join me as I discuss everything from preconception to menopause with your pelvic health and fitness needs. It is my passion to make these topics easy to understand and practical to apply to even the busiest of seasons. Today I want to discuss pelvic floor relaxation and it's importance in birth preparation. Unfortunately, much of the pregnancy resources you encounter discuss kegels or nothing at all when it comes to pelvic floor preparation for birth. This is a disappointing "one-size-fits-no one" approach to birth prep as our pelvic floor does not actually need to be "tighter" during birth - it needs to be able to elongate effectively. How do I know if my pelvic floor can relax? And how does this actually impact me even if I'm not currently preparing for birth? Listen now to find out!

004. Mindset Shift: Pregnancy IS the time to START...and here is why - with Dr. Emily

Welcome, Mamas! My name is Dr. Emily and I am a: Bible-believing Christian Happy Wife Soon-to-be mama of 3 under 3 Pelvic Health Physical Therapist Certified Pre and Postnatal Fitness Coach I started @pelvic.floor.fit to inspire, educate, and empower mamas to achieve: a pain-free pregnancy the birth of their dreams a confident postpartum recover Join me as I discuss everything from preconception to menopause with your pelvic health and fitness needs. It is my passion to make these topics easy to understand and practical to apply to even the busiest of seasons. Today I want to bust the myth that we should never begin a new type of exercise during pregnancy: Firstly, every mama starts from a different health status and fitness background so this advice is a very unhelpful "one-size-fits-no one". Secondly, our pregnant bodies require a great deal of strength to support the extra weight, balance challenges, and joint loosening effectively. While there are risks to strength training during pregnancy, there are also risks to NOT strength training during pregnancy. What is actually true about the BEST type of exercise to support pregnancy? Listen now to find out!
