#AskAchieve 49: Updates on Lauren's Pregnancy, Lower Back Arching While Exercising, Recovering from a Hernia, and Flat Feet!

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!

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.
