We all know we should be doing exercise, right? It’s good for our physical health, mental health and your blood sugar. So it's a no brainer to fit it into your day, right?

Except that ... sometimes life gets in the way and sometimes it can be hard, and how the hell are you meant to know what to do when you're pregnant!

It's not always simple. 

It's a bit like with food how we all generally know the gist of what’s good for us (moving our body, eating fruits and vegetables), but the tricky thing is actually knowing HOW to do this, and what specifics to focus on in certain times, again, like pregnancy.

So I get it.

You might not know what exercises are safe, or what is best to reduce blood sugar.

OR you might have a decent idea of what you could or want to be doing, but a busy toddler and a full time job take up almost every moment of your time and regularly get in the way.

This episode is here to demystify exercise for you.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Kath Baquie,  a mum of 3, a perinatal physiotherapist, and founder of FitNest Mama. She has SO much wisdom around pre and postnatal exercise and I know you'll get a lot out of listening to this!

We touch on what is safe and recommended, how to overcome barriers to exercise, and the impact on blood sugar.
