127: Well-Rounded Training for When You're Done Having Babies
07/28/23 • 35 min
Today, I have Heather join me as we talk about what our life and fitness is like post-babies and what we think a well-rounded fitness program for women should look like for a lifetime of athleticism.
We strongly believe that athleticism does not end when motherhood begins, OR after we’re done having our babies, and especially so as we age. We don’t buy into age being a factor that stops us, but rather an opportunity to continue doing our fitness as long as possible (like my mom, Sharon).
The Practice Brave Fitness Program is designed to give you the well-rounded fitness that you want and need for a full, strong life. It’s a program created based on how we live. Maybe you have a background in dance and CrossFit like Heather and are feeling lost as to what to do next - The Practice Brave Fitness program bridges that gap and gives you the sustainable, reliable programming you want and need.
We also chat about how cool to have our kids be involved in our fitness and see it be a normal part of life. They get to see us become stronger and work hard - and they need to see us doing it. We are in it for the long game. That means we learn how to start over again and again as life gets lifey.

126: What Your Programming Should Look Like for Pursuing a Lifetime of Athleticism
Recently, I had a complaint about my Pregnant Athlete Training Program that the workouts repeated and that it lacked variation. That’s the point - we test and retest and same basic movements over time to make progress and gain strength.
Programming for a lifetime of athleticism isn’t about randomized, all high-intensity workouts. Those can be sprinkled in, but what we’re looking for is supporting your lifestyle, goals, and overall health. Sometimes that can get boring. It’s doing the same stuff over and over (and over) again.
Commit to it being a little boring sometimes. Treat your workouts like you’re training for something and you’ll begin to make progress.

128: A Second Chance with Chance
Get ready, because this is going to be an emotional one... The decision to have a second baby seemed like an overwhelming decision after the traumatic and extremely hard experience I had with my first birth and postpartum. But, through time, I felt ready and found what I had control over and was able to turn it into a beautiful, empowering experience.
I dive into what taking control with my second birth looked like by having an elective, gentle cesarean (the first time this happened for my hospital) and how everything was so different the second time around - the birth experience and postpartum was different, Chance was different, and I was a different person.
Every day I am so grateful we took the chance to have Chance - it was truly a second chance in every way.
