When To Rest Vs. Workout in Pregnancy and Postpartum

In pregnancy and postpartum you’ll come across times where a nap is much more appealing than a workout.

But that’s not the problem. The problem is when we feel guilty or lazy because of it.

When we can lean into what our body needs and trust it, there is much less guilt and shame. PLUS, we’re actually giving our body what it needs in the moment.
