Episode 22 - Prenatal Fitness: Running During Pregnancy

About the episode:

Just cause you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t run!  I’ve been running for almost 33 years now, and I had a blast sitting down for a solo episode to talk all about my running journey and how I adapted to the changes throughout pregnancy.  I love to run and exercise, and it was something I wanted to continue to do during my pregnancy. 

However, not only is your body changing during pregnancy which means your running will change, but there will be changes in your level of fitness from the 1st trimester vs. the 3rd trimester.  I love sharing how I approached running during my pregnancy, some of the things I’ve seen with the moms I work with, products that can make a huge impact in your comfort level during exercise, other exercises to incorporate besides running, of course what chiropractic care can offer, and much more!

Please check in with your care provider before beginning any new exercises and to go over your fitness goals.
