The PedsDocTalk Podcast: Child Health, Development & Parenting—From a Pediatrician Mom

Why Strength Training is Important in Pregnancy and Beyond


Listen Later

On this show, I welcome guests to chat about parenting and parental health, especially maternal physical and mental health. Taking care of ourselves is just as important as caring for our children. On this episode, I welcome sisters Amy Kiefer and Krystle Howald, founders and creators of Expecting and Empowered. They join me to discuss:  


  • Why strength training is important in various stages of our life
  • Mindset shifts and reframing to approaching strength training and working out during pregnancy and postpartum
  • How to build strength training into our busy lives

  • Connect with Amy and Krystle on Instagram @expectingandempowered. For more resources, visit expectingandempowered.com.
