Here are a few of my favorite things from my Black

Here are a few of my favorite things from my Black Friday order @legion ☺️

Apple Pie whey protein … it can be a bit sweet so I love it in oatmeal to get the taste while cutting some of the sweetness
….

Salted Caramel … I throw a scoop in my coffee but it’s also good with just almond milk and ice 😛
….

Recharge Arctic Blast is creatine monohydrate which I’m still taking a few times per week. Creatine can help with brain fog (which is a real thing for me right now) and long term use can help with energy (cool thing because I’m limited on caffeine intake right now).

Food and especially protein is really hard right now so I’m supplementing as much as possible to make sure I’m giving baby girl what she needs to keep growing 🙌🏾

My code ANAJA will give you double points 💵💲

The beautiful thing about exercise and fitness and

The beautiful thing about exercise and fitness and your body is that it’s all very adaptable. So what has changed in my lifting as we navigate week 24?

NOTHING 😜 and EVERYTHING 🥵

Here is what’s the same:
👉🏾 Barbell movements and Oly lifting
👉🏾 Lifting, running, and WODs every week
👉🏾 Protein and creatine intake post workout
👉🏾 Hamilton soundtrack or 90s Hip Hop during workouts

Here is what’s a bit different:
🤙🏾 Training is based on RPE and HR instead of percentages
🤙🏾 Workouts are time based instead of volume based
🤙🏾 Stopped “full” snatch and clean movements
🤙🏾 Lots of pelvic floor, core, and corrective exercises
🤙🏾 Built in extra warm up and mobility time
🤙🏾 More complete rest days filled with lots of grace, compassion, and kitty cuddles when I’m just not feeling it.

If you look closely, the things that changed over the last few weeks are recommendations I’d give any athlete who is experiencing a wide array of changes to their training capacity.

✔️ injury
✔️ voluntary time off
✔️ job/life changes
✔️ burnout
✔️ off season

It’s NOT specific to being a pregnant person. Athletes who are growing humans can strength train safely and have a healthy pregnancy. I also follow some really great coaches and practitioners (like @thebarbellmamas x @dr.christina_prevett x @anniemiller.co) who have amazing content if you’re looking for ideas or a place to start

Disclaimer: always talk to your healthcare provider team before beginning an exercise training program ♥️

Loved this message from @claire_barbellmedicine

“…you’re value doesn’t rest on your total.”

As athletes we are so much more than the number on the bar and your outcomes (good or bad) are only part of the story.
