Hello and welcome back to another episode on the Embrace real podcast. In case you have not heard the news yet, I am actually pregnant and I'm due any

minute now. So as of this recording, this is going to be going out on July 1st and that is officially

baby month for me. So really excited about it also kind of

terrified but so many exhilarating things have happened I feel like in the last 40 weeks and I'm just so ready to enter into this new chapter and I feel like I'm just I'm

feeling all the feels to be honest and so I thought it would be fun to kind of kick off baby month with a three-part series on

Q&A because I got a bunch of questions when I put up a question box and so I thought it would be fun to kind of just share,

you know, working out during pregnancy which is what I'm going to be focusing on

I know that navigating pregnancy while trying to maintain a healthy and strong physique and just mindset can be and feel overwhelming

especially in that first trimester and so that's why I kind of just want to share like my insight and just this is all just kind of you know I'm riffing it and I'm going to go off of just what I have been doing and in hopes that you can somewhat gain some insight from just my experience over these last nine months.

And I will be answering questions like how of my workouts change, what workouts did I do in the first trimester, have I or have I not

lowered my weights and how do I stay motivated to work out throughout my pregnancy?

So that's exactly what we're going to be diving in in today's episode.
