Welcome to the SportsFit Mums Podcast Episode 34
In this solo episode, I'm talking all about my experience on being bully to myself, and all things related to my health and fitness journey.
It's important to be kind to yourself and to recognise that you're doing the best you can. Here are some tips for not being hard on yourself:
- Acknowledge your accomplishments. Take the time to recognise the things you have achieved, no matter how small. Doing this will help to boost your confidence and remind you of your worth.
- Let go of perfectionism. You don't have to be perfect in everything you do. Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them without beating yourself up.
- Talk to yourself like you would talk to a friend. Many of us are much harsher on ourselves than we are on others. Try to be more compassionate and understanding with yourself.
- Practice self-care. Make time to do things that make you feel good and take care of your mind and body.
- Seek help if needed. Don't be afraid to reach out for help if you are struggling. There are plenty of professionals and support systems available to help you.

Welcome to the SportsFit Mums Podcast Episode 27
In this solo episode, I'm talking about another controversial headline. What I want to share to you is the number 1 thing I did to kick start my weight loss journey at 4 months postpartum.
Let me break down exactly what I mean by my weight loss journey Postpartum.
First I knew the rough amount of weight I had gained and I know that my baby, for example, contributes about 7 to 8 pounds to your “weight gain” and the rest is associated with:
•larger breasts (1 to 3 pounds)
•larger uterus (2 pounds)
•placenta (1.5 pounds)
•amniotic fluid (2 pounds)
•increased blood volume (3 to 4 pounds)
•increased fluid volume (2 to 3 pounds)
•fat stores (6 to 8 pounds).

- Had you done any pelvic floor prehab before you started running?
- What glute or core activation had you done in preparation for running?
- Have you got a strength programme in place to compliment your return to running?

Join me as I explain why I chose to change my mindset during pregnancy to train for labour,
I give you the why and how and discuss all things in between LIKE... training 4 labour is not like training for a marathon! #FACT
Here are my top 5 tips
1= Include minimum 2 strength sessions a week and be sure to add
- Full body compound movements
- WORK in INTERVALS - start with 20:10, moving to 30:30, 30:15, 40:20 and 50:10.
2= Prioritise core and glute activation .
3 = do as much walking as you can for as long as you can .
4= mobility and plenty of pregnancy yoga
5= include swimming if you can or deep water running is fab.

Join me as I have an amazing conversation with Vivienne Stallwood- MIDWIFE-TURNED-PREGNANCY NUTRITIONIST, MOM OF 2, AND A LOVER OF IMPROMPTU KITCHEN DANCE PARTIES.
We chat top tips for nutrition in pregnancy and early postpartum days.
In her words' Before becoming a certified holistic nutritionist, I spent 20 years working as a midwife and a specialist public health nurse, helping women take their first steps into motherhood.
During that time, I noticed something interesting about the journeys of mothers around me.
While some seemed to “sail through” their pregnancy, others (including me!) struggled with a range of unpleasant symptoms like excessive morning sickness, constipation, and lack of energy.
The main difference between the two groups? *Their nutrition.'
Do reach out to us on social media and start a conversation, we would both love to help in anyway we can

Welcome back...Its been a while, Crazy postpartum life caught up on me.
This is an episode I recorded a couple of months ago to help motivate and inspire me as I tried to get back to training for an international competition.
I will highlight the highly competitive athletes that trained and competed during pregnancy and postpartum, which many people will judge as unsafe, but for those of us that know and respect our bodies and what it is capable of when growing and birthing a baby will be able to make their own decisions on what is best for mind and body.
Enjoy this splash of inspiration

Kez 'Yes. Um, well, that is the question, isn't it? Um, hypnobirthing doesn't work. It's a common misconception that doing a hypnobirthing course, just attending one, will create this particular birth for you. But as you know now, and as I, uh, have always known, it's actually you doing the work that makes hypnobirthing so valuable. And is the benefit really, um, underlying all of hypnobirthing'

The best time to begin core strengthening is before you get pregnant, and in the early stages of pregnancy.*
- **I highly recommend seeing a women's health physio before and after your pregnancy
Do be careful with exercise. Some routine fitness moves, including crunches, sit-ups, pushups, press-ups, and front planks, make abdominal separation worse. So can swimming, some yoga poses (like downward dog), and doing anything on your hands and knees.*

Its such a pleasure to have Karen Denwood, women's health physio on this episode
Karen is a pre and postnatal exercise specialist, a super duper pilates instructor.
She's based Down Under, but originally from Liverpool, and the creator of the new Mummy Plan.
Karen is a firm believer that prevention is the key to most things especially when talking pelvic health in pre and postnatal women,
So we chat today about what should we focus on?
Karen says - 'In terms of prevention, we've got to think about more preparation. So what is it we're trying to prevent, which is what I focus on with people. I think I don't kind of treat as I see, I treat. What could be? OK, you're pregnant and this can happen to a pregnant body. So let's prepare for that and let's try and prevent from a preparatory kind of focus. So the kind of things that we're trying to prevent, and there's a high incidence of pelvic girdle pain. Pelvic floor strain & posture dysfunction among other issues.'
Karen gives us some really good take away information that really is going to protect your pelvic health.

This is episode three with a controversial topic: why I think labour is not like running a marathon. I see posted on social media all the time.
Giving birth is like running a marathon. You should train like you're going to run a marathon. It's really hard work. Make sure you're conditioned. I see it all on social media all the time. And actually, I 100% disagree.
There are definitely elements related to a marathon that can be seen as similar to giving birth. But in this podcast, I'm going to tell you why I think my opinion is completely different and what type of event I think labor is. And my thoughts on how you can train for labor.
