This week on the podcast I’m chatting with pre and post-natal corrective exercise specialist, Ashley from Get Mom Strong.

She talked to me all about prenatal fitness myths vs facts, ab training, how to even START working out as a pregnant lady if you weren’t pre-pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and more!

Her journey teaching moms to heal was born from her own struggle with diastasis recti after the birth of her twins.

She’s also the creator of Strong Like a Mother (SLAM), a total-body health and fitness program that helps thousands of women stay strong during pregnancy, heal postpartum, get stronger overall, and ditch diet culture.

Inside the episode we chat about:

  • Who Ashley is and the details of her amazing platform Get Mom Strong
  • What motivated you to start Get Mom Strong, what’s your “why”?
  • Why do you think prenatal fitness is so important?
  • Can you talk about a few prenatal fitness myths/common mistakes you see and how to fix them?
  • Specifically, ab training in pregnancy – I know this can be a hot button issue. What’s the right way to do it, and what are benefits?
  • Where do you recommend someone who’s pregnant start with fitness if they weren’t previously active or in a fitness routine at all?
  • What can the currently pregnant mamas physically do NOW to set themselves up for an easier postpartum recovery?
  • Can you tell us about your SLAM program? I love that you recently added on SLAM pregnant and really focus on a whole mother approach
