Good for the Swole 4+

This is my 3rd pregnancy. I always get super sick and with my first two I stopped working out with the nausea/fatigue and then never started again (at least not consistently). It felt overwhelming when I had lost so much strength and didn’t know where to begin or what I should be doing. After discovering Becky I was determined to make my next pregnancy different. However, once morning sickness set in I once again stopped working out and felt discouraged. When I finally started feeling a little better around 20 weeks I decided to give her app a go. I figured late was better then not at all. I am now almost 28 weeks and feeling so much stronger. I have been able to consistently do the workouts and even feel that they have gotten easier despite being further along in pregnancy. It’s so encouraging and makes me feel so much more empowered and grateful for my body throughout this process as I take care of my mind and body. Becky is just the right amount of challenging and encouraging. She makes it doable and makes you feel like you can work with your body and not against it. I am so grateful for her knowledge and workouts, I cannot wait to see how it changes my postpartum experience as well.

Growing up, I hated working out. I truly dreaded it and would feel nauseous whenever I thought about having to work out. After having my 3rd baby in 4 years I knew I wanted to do something to stay healthy and fit for my family. I didn’t know where to start or what was safe for pregnancy AND postpartum without having to buy separate programs or do lots of research and planning. Good for the SWOLE has been SUCH A BLESSING! It is perfectly challenging and Becky constantly gives ways to adjust it to your needs and level all while sounding encouraging and positive. Many of the workouts are interval style so it’s 30sec work and 30sec break so you don’t get overwhelmed and you can truly focus on proper breathing and form (super important). She’s also a mom herself and you can tell she understands and is sympathetic to the journey of health you’re taking. I actually found myself telling my husband “I like working out”!!! I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SAY THAT!! Do yourself a favor and try out her free trial! You have nothing to lose (except fat ;) and everything to gain (like muscle ;).

I’ve been using the app for almost a year, starting in my second trimester and am now 5 months postpartum. I love Becky!! The workouts are perfect. Following along with a weekly workout plan is so nice because I don’t have to think about what I’m going to do for exercise that day. It’s nice just to turn on and follow along. Moving my body all throughout pregnancy and using these specifically tailored workouts has been huge in my quick recovery and feeling good throughout pregnancy. I am a massage therapist, corrective exercise specialist, and have my bachelors in exercise and wellness and I appreciate SO SO much the focus on strengthening/engaging the core, using proper form and breathing, and strengthening the body in an effective, balanced, functional way. I have learned so much! I also love how she has us drinking water throughout, every rest, it has really helped me stay hydrated while pregnant and breastfeeding. Well worth the subscription!!
