    On today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Rachel Tinius, an Associate Professor at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to discuss her groundbreaking research on the benefits of exercise during pregnancy.

    Dr. Tinius has dedicated her career to studying the impact of physical activity on maternal & infant health outcomes, developing community-based interventions for pregnant/postpartum women, especially those in marginalized communities.

    Her innovative work identified a critical gap in evidence-based exercise interventions for this demographic, leading her to create the mobile app BumptUp®.

    The app is designed to provide trustworthy physical activity guidance for women during & after pregnancy, promoting health & wellness at every stage of motherhood.

    We talk about:

    -reasons for inactivity in pregnancy

    -creating BumptUp

    -changing guidelines over the years

    -reaching underserved communities

    -the power of an app

    -activity affecting pregnancy outcomes

    -pregnancy as a time for new habits
