Pregnancy and postpartum  fitness advice can really crazy really fast

One minute women are being told to lift heavy, build muscle, and get stronger-and then the second they become pregnant, suddenly it’s, “Be careful. Don’t lift too much. Don’t get your heart rate too high. Don’t do core.” Then postpartum hits, and somehow the messaging flips again: now you’re supposed to lose the baby weight, “get your body back,” and return to normal as quickly as possible.

This week, we’re talking about what strength training during pregnancy and postpartum should actually look like. We’re joined by pre- and postnatal trainer and female physiology researcher Tasha Leung to break down some of the biggest myths around lifting while pregnant, core training, diastasis recti, Kegels, pelvic floor function, the six-week postpartum clearance, C-section recovery, and the pressure women feel to bounce back after having a baby.
