Show Notes

What's up, Achievers?! In this episode, Lauren kicks things off by talking about how she's feeling during her pregnancy thus far - we're 21 weeks in! In the first question, we discuss strategies for someone who has a tough time counteracting lower back arching during exercises like squats and deadlifts (4:42). We also talk about how to recover from a hernia surgery. We go over this in our answer, but if you're experiencing hernia-like symptoms - make sure to go get checked out by a doctor and physical therapist! We give some general recommendations, but you really need to see a medical professional and you also want to go based on how you feel and common sense! (8:30) Lastly, we cover the relationship between ankle mobility, big toe mobility, and flat feet! (13:36) We hope you enjoyed this episode! If you did, we'd love you forever if you left a rating and review on iTunes - it seriously helps us out a lot! Please DM us @achievefitnessboston on Instagram if you have any questions you'd like us to answer. Until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles! P.S - Prices for our Fit 101 workshop go up this Friday! Head to https://www.achievefitnessboston.com/pages/fit-101-workshop for more information, and to sign up. We wanted to create this workshop to clear all the confusion and misinformation in the fitness industry, and really provide the tools from a mindset, nutrition, movement, and strength standpoint for our attendees. Our Fit 101ers will leave understanding what nutritional strategies they should use as well as how to design a program for themselves based on their goals and how much time they have available to them. The workshop is on Sunday, June 3rd from 9-5pm. We hope you'll join us!
