In this episode, [Maddy Cope](https://latticetraining.com/about/maddy-cope/) (Lattice coach and climber) and Joy Black (coach/mentor for pregnant and postpartum women), talk about climbing and training during pregnancy and postpartum. Covering the changes that occur during pregnancy and how these impact climbing.

Having come from a strength and conditioning background, Joy talks about weight training; choosing appropriate movements, and how to progress these. Not everyone is comfortable with weights, so some of the exercises discussed in this podcast may benefit from in-person sessions if you are new to them.

Joy provides great content around pregnancy and postpartum climbing on her Instagram ([@calliejoyblack](https://www.instagram.com/calliejoyblack/)) so if you are pregnant, have been pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant in the future check it out!
