Show Notes

What's up, Achievers?! In this episode, Lauren kicks things off by talking about an Instagram post she wrote last week about how there's so much pressure on moms to get their "bodies back", and how it can be extremely detrimental and damaging to women. She challenges other coaches and trainers to be careful of the language that they use and to reflect whether or not they're spreading these messages. The post resonated quite a bit with a lot of other moms and professionals and our members that we thought it was worth discussing in detail on the podcast! Next, we talk about how to balance a running program and a strength training program, and how priorities can shift seasonally (8:56). Lastly, we discuss someone who happens to have both knee and back pain and how she can choose what variations of squats to be doing based on that pain (16:17). 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! Jason and Lauren
