I don’t think I’ve ever respected my body more than I do right now.

Pregnancy has shown me just how incredibly strong women are- mentally, emotionally, and physically. Our bodies are literally capable of creating and carrying life, changing day by day, adapting, growing, and doing something that still completely blows my mind.

One of the questions I get all the time is, “How are you still teaching?” or “I can’t believe you’re still working out so often.”

And the answer is simple: movement has carried me through this pregnancy.

Not because I’m trying to prove anything. Not because I think pregnancy is a time to push harder. And definitely not because every pregnancy or every woman should look the same.

I move because it makes me feel strong. It clears my mind. It keeps me connected to myself while my body is doing the most incredible work it has ever done. It reminds me that being strong can look different in every season of life.

Of course, I’ve been incredibly lucky to have the support of my husband @b_konopa, my family, my friends, all of the members and instructors at @core95lb and the people who continue to show up for me throughout this journey. But movement has been one of my biggest constants. It has made me want to continue becoming the healthiest version of myself- for me, for this baby, and for the family we’re building.

If you’re pregnant and your doctor has cleared you to exercise, my biggest encouragement is simply to move in whatever way feels good, safe, and right for YOUR body. Walk. Stretch. Lift. Ride. Take a class. Slow down when you need to. Rest when your body asks for it. There is no prize for doing the most.

Because strength isn’t about how heavy you lift, how hard you work out, or how long you can keep going.

Sometimes strength is listening to your body.
Sometimes it’s moving.
Sometimes it’s resting.
Sometimes it’s surrendering to everything your body is capable of.

Women are powerful. Our bodies are powerful. And getting to experience that power while creating life has given the word strong an entirely new meaning for me. 🤎🧸❤️‍🔥🫶🏼✨ by @chelskonopa
