S13 E3: Movement and Motherhood With Ashley Thomas

We often expect our bodies to "bounce back" after having a baby. This unrealistic pressure ignores the beautiful and challenging realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. These seasons are ones to honor your body — and navigating the shifts that happen takes time, patience, and a different approach to physical and mental health.     In this episode, Ashley Thomas, a fitness instructor at Life Time and mother of three, talks about how we can view and care for our bodies after having children. She discusses how to redefine what fitness success realistically looks like during these life phases, and she shares practical, actionable guidance to help you feel empowered to reclaim your strength.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/movement-and-motherhood   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?
