Diastasis Recti and Low Back Pain - Are They Connected?
As trainers, we have all clients with low back pain. The MINT girls specifically have all worked to help alleviate that pain from many clients, including moms. Commonly, there has been correlations between diastasis recti and low back pain. It only makes sense that core instability would result in that kind of injury! Right? But there's some question on that.
We at MINT are committed to keeping up with the research and sharing what we learn with all of you. Today we’re going over a review of studies that are questioning the connection between DR and low back pain. We talk about the finds of the studies and our take on the breakdown. If you've wondered before what the harm of DR could be aside from aesthetics, this is one conversation to consider. Check out the review below to read for yourself!

Navigating Comparison in Motherhood and Female Fitness
Today we talk about how to navigate the difficulties of comparing yourself to others. We touch on body image comparisons and how we all handle those thoughts, as well as social media's effect on things you many not even notice. If you're a mama comparing your house to the perfections of others, your drop-off fashion, or lunch box standards, this is a great episode that was basically a therapy session for us all!

New Study on Pregnant Women the & Effects of High Intensity Exercise on Their Babies
We are BACK after a hiatus and with a really exciting new type of episode!
Our biggest mission at MINT is to help moms and trainers become more educated and aware. For the longest time, it's been very tough to find actual studies done on pregnant women as it relates to exercise. However, that's changing and today we talk about a recent study featured by Emily Beers in a Morning Chalk Up article. The study was done on a small group of pregnant women and their babies, testing how high intensity interval training and moderate intensity training effect health markers of the baby. If you're interested in the age old doctor's advice to "keep your heart rate below 150" and what new evidence is telling us, listen in as we go over the hilights!
