E36. Why we should not ignore our core in pregnancy | Hollie Grant

There are so many myths and misconceptions when it comes to exercising in pregnancy but none more so than pregnancy and our core muscles. Unsurprisingly women are left confused, scared, and disempowered to embrace safe, effective core exercises that are fundamental to our wellness, to a healthier pregnancy and smoother postpartum recovery. That is right ladies- we should not ignore our core in pregnancy! So, on this week’s episode I am really excited to be joined by Hollie Grant to discuss what our core is- because most of us do not actually understand it, why our core is so important in pregnancy and how we can be safely exercising it to protect and support our changing, growing bodies. Hollie is a woman with a hell of a lot of passion to empower women to feel strong, powerful, and healthy in pregnancy and her message that you can be Pregnant and Powerful is something that totally resonates with me, and that the world needs to hear. In fact, Hollie attempted a world record attempt for the most pregnant women exercising at one time- that is serious dedication! Specialising in prenatal Pilates and being an award-winning Pilates instructor, Hollie is an expert in the area of the core, stability and functional movement for pregnancy and so we are in great hands for today’s chat! You can find Hollie on social media: @thepilatespt And check out her prenatal fitness plan: @thebumpplan Hollie’s goal is to help every woman learn to love exercise for its effect on performance, rather than aesthetic gains and I could not be more on board with this ethos!
