#226 - Helen (@Nurturemamas): Prioritise Yourself - Fitness, Pregnancy, Heart Health, V02 and More
We welcome Helen (@nurturemamas on Instagram) to the podcast this week.
Helen is a personal trainer, online fitness coach, marathon runner, pre and postnatal fitness specialist, and yoga instructor, having previously worked in the corporate world.
Helen shares insights into her multifaceted career in fitness, emphasising the importance of strength training and whether she prefers that to stretching to combat injury. She also touches upon her personal journey into fitness, starting from childhood and evolving through various stages of her life, including her experience as a mother.
The discussion delves into the intricacies of prenatal and postnatal fitness, highlighting the significance of maintaining strength and mobility during and after pregnancy. Helen discusses the common misconceptions surrounding exercising during pregnancy and offers practical advice for expectant and new mothers.
We also talked about Helen's struggles with zone 2 running, how, after getting V02 max testing with Sean at Health Matters, she changed her approach to marathon training in search of a sub-3:30 target, and her history with heart irregularities.
