    Post-Partum Ninja Training

    Post-Partum Ninja Training

    Chances are, you know someone in the Ninja community who is currently pregnant or has been pregnant during their career.
    My guest this week is Amy Harski, a pregnancy and postpartum coach. She works with athletes looking to stay fit during their pregnancy and helps them get back into their sport postpartum. Amy’s career as a Ninja didn’t start until she was postpartum herself, and that experience navigating Ninja after her own pregnancies helped inspire her to help other ninja athletes.
    Pregnancy does not have to be the end of your athletic career. There is a lot you can safely do, both during pregnancy and postpartum. In this episode, we’re going to talk about how athletes can navigate their training throughout and after their pregnancy, common postpartum issues, and how we can unravel the stigma of pregnancy in sports.

Often in this sport, we want to go full steam ahead, 100% of the time and we tend to fall into some unhealthy habits.  In this episode, Alex and I are going to talk about the habits and warning signs of overtraining and how to step into a healthier training mindset, how to properly recover from injuries, and how we as a Ninja community should reevaluate what it means to have a supportive training environment.

I found confidence in ninja bc of Cara

When I first started Ninja, I was listening to episodes of the ninja babes non stop. Even still, it is a common pod listen for me and her interviews and episodes have been so informational and encouraging as I have grown in the sport. Definitely worth a listen whether you’re a ninja or just a female athlete! The advice and guests have all added so much value to my mindset and growth in the sport.

The definition of ninja warrior

This podcast is perfect for women and men. This podcast is simply inspiring. I am a ninja warrior athlete and it is comforting to hear about other women who experience similar feelings that I do. Ninja warrior is not as big of a sport as others, but it is still a group of athletes who work hard and support each other. This podcast captures the true meaning of this sport.
