JOY BLACK- Climbing in Pregnancy & Postpartum
Today I speak with Joy Black, an avid rock climber, kettlebell enthusiast, and trail runner. She is a Mom of three, and is living the craziness of having a teenager, toddler, and infant all at the same time. She truly believes that we are all much stronger than we realize, we just need someone to help us tap into that potential. With over a decade of experience training and coaching, Joy has combined her love of strength training, climbing, and movement with extensive knowledge on training during pregnancy and postpartum. She is on a mission to equip climbers with knowledge that will empower them during their journey as a pregnant and/or postpartum climber. If there was ever anyone that could casually find a way to use the words ‘climbing’, ‘ pelvic floor’ and ‘breath mechanics’ in the same sentence…it’s Joy.
Joy also works with The Postpartum Project. It is a one of a kind approach to returning to climbing after baby that combines breath work, core, pelvic floor, strength, and climbing specific training all with the postpartum climber in mind.
We talk about:
-training and the pregnant athlete
-considerations for higher level individuals
-incorporating breath work
-strength training for climbers
-safety in climbing
