47: CrossFit During Pregnancy & Postpartum with Katie Bacarella
October 16, 2024 · 54 min

Katie Bacarella is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and P&PA coach who became who she needed after her first pregnancy & postpartum experience. She was an avid CrossFit athlete who, like me, was pretty surprised on how these seasons of pregnancy & postpartum impacted her athletic endeavors. 

In this episode we talk all about how to adjust workouts during pregnancy, what a postpartum return to exercise timeline looks like and more.
