Maybe these are hot takes or maybe these are just honest truths that I feel moms need to hear.
I am a former college athlete and I’ve had to unlearn a lot of things when it comes to expectations and training needs in different seasons of life. I do believe that moms should be strong but whether that looks like going to the gym everyday and slinging weights or squeezing a workout in while your baby naps with your 10 # dumbbell is going to depend on your season and your capacity.
For me, I try and get a gym workout in while I’m at the clinic during the week and all of the others are at home. I TRY to do it during nap time but with a bad napper I’m hitting pause quite often or finishing my workout with her next to me all while shoving toys off to the side of the living room. Some days I sweat, some days I run out of time during the day, some days I’m just getting in snacks throughout the day.
An important thing of course is that I’ve laid a good foundation after 4 babies. I’ve rehabbed my core, I’ve built strength in the muscles that get compromised during pregnancy and birth. I don’t have symptoms holding me back from lifting a barbell or lifting my babies. The only thing holding me back is the busyness of this season of mom-hood but I’ve decided to show up for myself in this way because it’s important to me!
Arrow was built to support mamas and help them enjoy life, enjoy movement and show up for themselves without worrying about their pelvic floor symptoms. We are here whenever you’re ready.
