E47. Why we should adapt exercise for pregnancy? | James Davies

For those who have been following me on social media it will come as no surprise that I am a huge advocate of exercise during pregnancy. The benefits are huge, and it is an area I am super passionate about. But of course, we want to ensure exercise in pregnancy is done safely to support our bodies. With this in mind you can be forgiven for ending up in a rabbit warren of frantic googling when it comes to exercise in pregnancy and finding a confusing tangle of poor quality, outdated, inaccurate information. Unhelpful to say the least but also super disempowering at a time when accurate information is imperative. I am really excited to put your questions to this weeks podcast guest and dispel some of the myths and misconceptions around exercising during pregnancy and explore the best way to navigate this precious time. I am joined by James Davies, this man has an extensive portfolio from a career in professional support himself, to working with elite athletes in the worlds of premier league football, the commonwealth, and Olympic games. More recently James has begun to focus on the historically neglected area of women in sport, qualified in pregnancy training and shares my relentless passion for empowering women to embrace healthy, active pregnancies safely. And on a personal note, James has been the voice and expertise behind my own pregnancy journey allowing me to enjoy physical activity throughout and genuinely have the positive, healthy pregnancy I dreamt of.
