When you first think of pregnancy, you probably don’t associate strength training with it. However, the right strength and pelvic floor training during pregnancy can really make a difference throughout your pregnancy and beyond. That’s why I am so excited to jump into today’s episode with my guests, Krystle Howald and Amy Kiefer, the sister duo behind Expecting and Empowered, a pregnancy and postpartum fitness company that aims to help women navigate this challenging time with safe and efficient workouts. 

In today's episode, we discussed the benefits of strength training during pregnancy, the pelvic floor, how to work with it throughout pregnancy for a smoother birth and recovery postpartum, how to address pregnancy pains throughout the body, lots about Kegels, whether or not it's okay to start strength training for the first time during pregnancy, and so much more! 

Whether you are going through your first, your second, or maybe planning for your first pregnancy and you're trying to get ahead with some education, or maybe you're postpartum, and you really want to help with the recovery process, this episode is for you!
