Meet Sophie
Hi, I'm Sophie.
My name is Sophie I’m 29. I’m from Sydney originally and moved to the central west of NSW 6 years ago where I met my husband, Will. He’s a farmer and I am a nurse and we got married in 2018. I’m currently studying my Masters in Public health specializing in prevention of chronic disease (a real passion of mine).
When I became pregnant it was the beginning of COVID and unfortunately gyms started to close when I was about 9 weeks pregnant and I live out of town so I felt quite isolated (I was working at home as well).
I knew I wanted to do pregnancy Pilates as I wanted to keep active but nothing too strenuous. Again, given COVID face to face classes were stopped. I was on Facebook and BBB popped up and I signed up. The best decision I made.
“Signing up to BBB was the best decision I made!”
Before BBB
- Prior to BBB I have always been very active. I love tennis, walking and was having personal training twice a week to maximize my strength.
- I have a love/hate relationship with high intensity interval training haha I feel so good after it but those burpees are horrible.
After BBB
- I kept active daily and was able to choose when I wanted to do the workouts which was great. This helped me in many ways - improve my pelvic floor which is so important post natural delivery, keeping active, staying positive and overall having a healthy pregnancy. All the information, videos and nutritional advice was so beneficial.
- Favourite exercise? Such a hard one as they were ALL so good! The ones for my back using a band in particular were great and I still do them post birth to help with my posture. My advice is to drink plenty of water and rest when needed - don’t over-do it.
- My favourite recipe were the chocolate cookies as I had such a sweet tooth during this pregnancy and this was a much healthier option than a chocolate bar.
- My last bit of advice is limit social media as I found myself becoming addicted and comparing my pregnancy and body to others which had a negative effect on me. I gained a healthy amount of weight but got some serious stretch marks which at first I was ashamed about. Looking at them now I’m in awe of my body and what it’s capable of. Doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
