Pregnancy is not where core training ends.
If anything, it’s where it gets a whole lot more interesting.
At 31 weeks, my deep core (aka TVA/transverse abdominis) is being asked to work around a growing baby, more internal pressure and very different mechanics than it was pre pregnancy.
That’s what you’re watching here when I “hug the baby.”
I’m not trying to sculpt my abs right now. I’m training my ability to create tension, manage pressure and keep my deep core doing its job as the demand changes. This is going to pay off big postpartum but also keeps me away from pain during pregnancy.
And THAT is what I wish more women understood about training during pregnancy.
You do not have to spend nine months disconnected from your body just because it’s changing.
You can adapt your training to it.
You can keep building strength.
You can keep fuelling for performance.
You can keep learning what your body is capable of in this version of it.
I think we talk way too much about getting our bodies “back” after pregnancy and nowhere near enough about what we can build during it.
Pregnancy isn’t giving up your body. It’s learning how to work with it. 🤍
And you better believe I’m already working on a way to coach women through this.
Because the constant conversation around “bouncing back” and shrinking the second our baby leaves our body is something I want to help women move away from.
We are so much more than that.
Pregnancy can be a time to build strength, connection, capacity and confidence in your body, not spend nine months waiting to get your old one back.
If you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or know a woman who needs to hear a different message about what pregnancy can look like, share this with her. 🤍

Fitness, Nutrition & High Performance Lifestyle Coach
Helping men & women 30+ build strength, fuel performance, and create sustainable confidence through every stage of life.
The tool? It’s not a workout tracker.
It’s the AKMETHOD coaching app.
And it’s one of the biggest ways I keep my clients connected to their goals AND to me between check-ins.
Their training is there.
Their nutrition is there.
Steps. Water. Progress photos. Measurements. Habits. Progress.
But the real value isn’t tracking more things.
It’s being able to actually see what you’re doing consistently.
Because when progress stalls, we’re not guessing.
We can see what’s happening.
We can adjust.
We can build on what’s working.
And when you’re having one of those weeks where you feel like you’re getting nowhere? We have months of evidence showing you otherwise.
Your results shouldn’t live in your memory. Your entire journey should be visible.
That’s why every AKM client has their coaching, program and progress in one place. 🤍

WHAT MY CLIENTS ACTUALLY EAT TO LOSE FAT 👀
Remember when I said a lot of women don’t need to eat LESS?
Here’s what that actually looks like.
This client is down 20 lbs.
She has not eaten under 2,200 calories a day.
And before working with me?
She was eating LESS.
Very little food during the day.
Lower protein.
Lots of snacking at night.
Cravings. Low energy. A LOT of food noise.
She was actually nervous to start nutrition coaching because she didn’t want to become even MORE obsessed with food.
So we changed the way she was eating.
More protein.
More complete meals.
More food throughout the day.
Structure AND flexibility.
Now look at her food diary.
Pasta.
Bread.
Potatoes.
Restaurants.
Dessert.
She is eating more than she was before she lost 20 lbs.
And THAT is exactly why I keep talking about under-eating.
Imagine spending years thinking your body is broken because eating less and less isn’t working…
only to discover that you can eat more food than you thought possible, go out for dinner, enjoy your life AND finally get the results you’ve been chasing.
That is the kind of nutrition coaching I want women to experience.
Not just “here are your calories, good luck.”
I want you to understand your body so well that you know how to fuel it, how to build meals, how to navigate real life and how to get results without food consuming your entire life.
This is AKM Nutrition Coaching.
And if you’re looking at these meals thinking there is NO WAY I could eat like this and lose fat…
We should probably talk. 🤍
DM me NUTRITION and let’s book a call to chat about what it could look like for you 🤍

Training hard without actually seeing their body change.
