CELESTE GOODSON -Training the Postpartum Athlete
In this episode, I’m joined once again by Celeste Goodson—Certified Medical Exercise Specialist, Pre/Postnatal Trainer, and founder of ReCORE Fitness. With years of experience working in cardiac rehab, PT clinics, and fitness settings, Celeste brings both clinical and practical expertise to the conversation. She’s trained everyone from recreational athletes to Olympic gold medalists returning to sport postpartum.
We dig into how research meets the real world when it comes to postpartum fitness, and how to apply that knowledge to help women return to running and high-level activity safely and effectively.
Whether you’re a clinician, coach, or someone navigating postpartum recovery yourself, this episode is packed with actionable insight.
We Talk About:
-Applying research to real-life scenarios
-External loading and vertical reaction forces
-Low-impact drills and overhead exercises
-Individualizing return-to-run programs
-Navigating prolapse and symptoms with smart modifications
-Why running efficiency starts with the right foundation
