Your body changes. Your life changes. Your exercise should change, too.
Guidance, research, and answers to help you stay active through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
Ashley Reid, Exercise Physiologist, Pre/Postnatal Wellness Practitioner, and Author of Active Mom.
Moms want to stay active during and after pregnancy, but it's hard to know what to do and how to approach exercise as your body and life change.
Of course you have questions. Every stage of motherhood brings physical changes to your core and pelvic floor, and your energy. Pregnancy and postpartum bring emotional changes that impact exercise, from fear to mom guilt. Most exercise advice doesn't account for this or teach you how to determine what is right for you.
That's where I come in. I'm an ACSM-certified exercise physiologist, pre/postnatal wellness practitioner, mom, and the author of Active Mom.
I'm here to empower you with guidance and resources backed by research and an approach that's helped hundreds of moms just like you feel strong and confident through motherhood.
