Pregnancy is a life-changing journey filled with excitement and anticipation, but it can also be a time of physical and emotional challenges for many women. For athletes and active women, adapting to their changing bodies can be particularly difficult. Recognizing this need, pliability has collaborated with The MINT Prjct and elite athlete Tia Clair Toomey to develop a three-part pregnancy series, providing safe and effective mobility content tailored to each trimester of pregnancy.
The MINT Prjct, a team of experts specializing in pregnancy and postpartum fitness, has joined forces with pliability to create a comprehensive program that addresses the unique challenges women face during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. As gym owners and mothers, the founders of The MINT Prjct provide invaluable expertise in fitness, nutrition, and mindset throughout the motherhood journey.
“We are so excited for the opportunity to work with pliability on this program!” says Cara Forrester, Director of Education at The MINT Prjct. “With pregnancy can come discomfort, and many women aren’t aware of what they can do to alleviate their day to day aches and pains. Mobility is an area we want women to be educated in so that they can feel their best and prepare their body for birth. Lengthening the pelvic floor muscles and opening up the areas that get tight can have a profoundly positive effect on pregnant women. Having pliability as a platform to share prenatal mobility health is very exciting and is going to help so many moms in their pregnancy journey.”
Tia Clair Toomey, a long-time pliability athlete who recently announced her own pregnancy, played an essential role in the development of the pregnancy series. Drawing from her athletic experience, Tia provided valuable feedback on the movements and even created affirmations that conclude each routine. Showcasing her dedication to supporting pregnant women, Tia is featured as the model for all content, demonstrating each stretch while seven months pregnant.
“pliability has been a large part of my daily routine as an elite athlete and throughout my current pregnancy,” says Toomey. “I’ve naturally had to adapt my training plans and understand what is and isn’t safe to do, and with the help of pliability and The MINT Prjct team, I’ve been provided with the right exercises to help me with my movement patterns and range of motion which have been essential throughout my pregnancy. This is such important content for women to have at their fingertips, and I’m proud to be a part of ensuring we elevate the care and resources we provide women.”
Divided into three Paths, the pregnancy series contains 12 routines tailored to each specific trimester. Designed for completion three days per week, these routines can also be adapted for daily use. As your body evolves throughout pregnancy, the movements adjust accordingly, ensuring a safe, effective approach to reducing discomfort and maintaining activity levels.
Committed to providing high-quality mobility and stretching content that enriches the lives of our users, pliability is excited to introduce this unique pregnancy series. By offering safe and effective mobility routines, we aim to empower women through every stage of their pregnancy journey, supporting their well-being and helping them enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle.
You can access these pregnancy paths through pliability.com, our iOS and Android apps with a 7-day free trial. To learn more about The MINT Prjct and their valuable contributions, visit their website.
