I’ve had four children, and my journey back into exercise during the postpartum period had looked different each time. This can depend on how what kind of exercise you did prior to pregnancy, what you were doing during pregnancy, and how you’re feeling after giving birth.

Joy Black is an avid rock climber, kettlebell enthusiast, and trail runner. After more than 10 years in the fitness industry, Joy combined her love of strength training and climbing with extensive knowledge of training during pregnancy and postpartum to empower rock climbers during their journeys through pregnancy and post.
