Description
We’re told “just do what you’ve always done” and “just listen to your body”, but we know that this is not enough. I hope by the end of this episode you gain a better understanding of how to train during pregnancy and why we need to adjust in the first place. I dive into mindset (athlete brain), core + pelvic health considerations, and more.   If you’re a pregnant or postpartum athlete looking for resources, I can help:   The Pregnancy Cheat Sheet Free E-Book: https://go.briannabattles.com/adjust-cheatsheet   The 8-Week Postpartum Athlete Training Program: https://go.briannabattles.com/8-week-postpartum-athlete-training-program   **COMING SOON: The All-New Pregnant Athlete Training Program!
