DEBUNKING 140BPM DURING PREGNANCY


Pregnancy and postpartum can be an exciting and challenging time for your body. You may be looking for safe and effective workout options that will help you maintain your fitness and health during this period. However, there are many misconceptions and outdated advice out there that can make it difficult to know what is safe and effective.


One such outdated advice is the recommended heart rate for exercise during pregnancy. The old advice used to be 140 beats per minute, but recent studies have shown that it may not be the best approach. Following this advice may lead to over-restriction of physical activity and limit the benefits that exercise can provide during pregnancy and postpartum.

 
So, what's the alternative? The answer is the talk test. This method is a simple and fun way to monitor your heart rate during exercise. All you have to do is chat with your workout buddy while exercising and make sure that you are not huffing and puffing so hard that you can't hold a conversation.

By using the talk test, you can tailor your exercise to your individual fitness level and any complications you may have. Whether you're feeling like a super-fit superhero or a sleepy sloth, you can adjust your workout to suit your needs.
 

The talk test is a great way to make sure that you are staying healthy and happy while exercising during pregnancy and postpartum. It allows you to monitor your heart rate in a way that is safe and effective. So, whether you're doing yoga, strength training, or cardio, remember to get chatting and keep that heart rate in check!

5 Ways to Physically Prepare Yourself for Pregnancy

If you've made the decision to embark on the journey of pregnancy, you probably have a million questions and concerns running through your head as you move into this phase of planning and trying. And as a busy, parent-to-be who values fitness and well-being, you may be wondering about how this is all going to affect and change you body.  I know for me, personally, it was the reason I got into this work.

I had spent my entire life training and strengthening it to be able to rehearse and perform.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Life Hacks: Simplifying Nutrition, Movement, and Mental Health

Being a busy career professional and mom during pregnancy and postpartum can be overwhelming. We have been conditioned by society to think we “can have it all”.  I’m not here to burst your bubble but I often find that “having it all” means that our personal health and wellness tends to suffer.  To the world, we look like we are all put together but secretly suffering inside.  Juggling multiple responsibilities often leaves little time for self-care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I don’t have a magic fix for you, but I do have a few #lifehacks that my clients and I have picked up along the way. To simply sum it up, it’s all about simplifying your daily routine and reducing stress (note the bold highlight on that one).  Let’s start with one of my favs… NUTRITION Nutrition Tip #1: Plan 5 meals I know what you are thinking, “Joanie, please don’t tell me I have to make a meal plan.”  I’m sorry to say it, but streamlining your grocery shopping and meal prep by ...
