In this episode of HSS Presents, host Dr. James Robinson is joined by sports medicine physician Dr. Ashley Austin to debunk common myths surrounding exercise during pregnancy. Drawing from her professional expertise and personal experience, Dr. Austin explains why outdated advice to simply "do less" is being replaced by evidence-based recommendations highlighting the benefits of combined aerobic and strength training. The conversation explores practical modifications using perceived exertion instead of heart rate, the safety of continued core and resistance training, and critical warning signs to monitor. Highlighting specialized resources like the HSS Perinatal Wellness Center, this episode is an empowering guide for expecting mothers looking to safely embrace movement as medicine.
