Finding Strength in Motherhood with Nicole Chapman {7.6}

Since becoming a mother I've found it really hard to find the energy, time and motivation to do exercise. I can barely keep the house tidy let alone find the time to get to the gym or an exercise class! Enter the Power of Mum, an at-home strength training programme. I found it totally by accident but it lit a fire inside me - I still didn't know how I'd find the time but I knew I needed it. So in this week's episode of Raising Healthy Mothers I'm talking to Nicole Chapman, personal trainer and founder of the Power of Mum. In the episode we discuss: The benefits of strength training as a mum Why exercise is important in motherhood The physical changes we go through during pregnancy and postpartum and how it changes the way we need to exercise How to find time to and energy to exercise Getting motivated and staying kind to ourselves Nicole combines the perfect amount of compassion for the realities of being a mum and motivation to stay on track - without the macho tough love so common in the personal training industry!

Raising Healthy Mothers is a podcast for mothers, whether you're pregnant, just given birth, or are two years postpartum. If you’re looking for a natural, calm, healthy start to motherhood and you’re after some inspiration to help you get started, then you’re in the right place. I believe the first 1000 days of motherhood - from conception to 2 years postpartum - is vitally important to get right from a health point of view. But it's so easy to get overwhelmed! This podcast is about feeling supported and crafting your very own village so you can embrace motherhood with confidence and joy. Each week I focus on a topic that I think is important for a mothers’ health and wellbeing, and I’ll be bringing guest experts on to talk about how they support new mothers.
