    Women with uncomplicated pregnancies should be enc Women with uncomplicated pregnancies should be encouraged to engage in aerobic and strength-conditioning exercises before, during, and after pregnancy.

Benefits of exercise in pregnancy include:
⬇️ excessive weight gain
⬇️ gestational diabetes
⬇️ gestational hypertension
⬇️ preterm birth
⬇️ lower birth weight

Physical activity in pregnancy is safe and desirable, and pregnant women should be encouraged to continue or to initiate safe physical activities.

    Vigorous-intensity exercise into the third trimest Vigorous-intensity exercise into the third trimester is safe.

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AGOC) April 2020 guidelines, it is safe for women to participate in strenuous, vigorous, and high-intensity exercise programs that they were completing pre-pregnancy.

Women who are pregnant must pay attention to staying hydrated, maintaining adequate caloric intake to prevent weight loss, avoid overheating, and should not participate in drills with an increased risk of blunt trauma. 

For elite athletes who are used to training 5 days a week, ~2 hrs a day, all year round, you will need frequent and close supervision.

Rule of thumb: regardless of what you read, ladies, ALWAYS get approval from your healthcare providers, make sure you 100% understand the risks, and consider reducing the resistance load you train in comparison to what you were training before pregnancy.

For questions about training during or after pregnancy, schedule a free consultation call today (link in bio).

    There is no reason to be wearing a weightlifting b There is no reason to be wearing a weightlifting belt during your warm up sets.

Warming up plays a huge part in how you perform, and being able to create spinal stability without the assistance of a belt is a non-negotiable requirement for athletes.

This doesn’t mean you should never wear one or that you can’t, but you shouldn’t be wearing it all the time. 

So when do you wear a belt? When you’re healthy, injury-free, and going for a heavy set and want a little extra stabilization. But again, not every single time.

Prep and train your body to get the most out of your programming. Or else, what’s the point of all the time you’re putting into going to the gym?

    Elbow pain with gripping? Lateral elbow pain is Elbow pain with gripping? 

Lateral elbow pain is common in tennis players, Olympic lifters, and workers whose jobs involve a lot of gripping (using a screw driver, holding power drills, opening a door, twisting a lid) or constant typing.

Initially you want to avoid aggravating activities that provoke pain early on such as heavy gripping and carry items with your palm facing down. You can also use your opposite hand to unload the aggravated side during unavoidable daily or work-related tasks.

Most importantly you don’t want to just stop using that arm for days or weeks on end‼️

RELOAD that tissue back up in a way that doesn’t aggravate it more and continue from there with a prevention program to prevent future symptoms🙌
