Katherine Baquie on exercising during & post pregnancy + optimise recovery
This week I am joined by Katherine Baquie who is a mum of 3 young girls, a physiotherapist for women, and host of The FitNest Mama Podcast. She also has anan online community to provide pregnant and new mothers with the exercises, support & resources they need to move from the overwhelm, the physical aches & pains of pregnancy and the weakness felt after birth. Today we chat about all of this postpartum recovery, as well as do a deep dive into what the pelvic floor is and why strengthening it is just as important as learning to relax it. We also chat about exercising before, during and after pregnancy, why we can't let our recovery take a back seat, intensity and exercise times, your baseline of fitness, the talk test and giving yourself grace. She also shares some beautiful mantras for all new and expecting mamas. Something a little different and niche today, but I loved chatting with Kath about this area. You can find Kath at www.fitnestmama.com, or on IG @fitnestmama or tune into her podcast here. Share this with a mama who is expecting or newly blessed!
