WEBVTT 00:00.119 --> 00:02.130 So when I got here , I thought that 00:02.140 --> 00:04.140 we'd be like stretching and walking 00:04.140 --> 00:06.251 around in a circle , maybe doing some 00:06.251 --> 00:08.670 Zumba . Um , but we moved right into 00:08.680 --> 00:11.279 dead lifts and I'm talking , I'm still 00:11.289 --> 00:14.010 over doing over £200 of dead lift . I 00:14.020 --> 00:16.819 was floored by how hard the workouts 00:16.829 --> 00:19.469 are and then how much attention we get 00:19.479 --> 00:21.479 from the coaches individually . And 00:21.479 --> 00:23.646 it's not just for strength , it's also 00:23.646 --> 00:25.895 for mobil , it's helping me stay fit . 00:25.905 --> 00:28.315 Um , I've had a lot of people both in 00:28.325 --> 00:30.492 my professional and my personal life . 00:30.492 --> 00:33.654 Tell me that I look better this 00:33.665 --> 00:36.904 pregnancy as far as my physical fitness , 00:37.115 --> 00:39.345 I've been the NCO IC for P three T for 00:39.354 --> 00:42.029 about two years now . So when I was 00:42.040 --> 00:44.096 pregnant with my son , the P Three C 00:44.096 --> 00:46.262 program was not , it wasn't a thing in 00:46.262 --> 00:48.373 my previous unit . So coming here and 00:48.373 --> 00:50.373 seeing what our H two F instructors 00:50.373 --> 00:52.779 have done with the P Three T program is 00:52.790 --> 00:54.869 tremendous . The overall intent of P 00:54.880 --> 00:57.400 three T is to while they are currently , 00:57.409 --> 00:59.865 while they are pregnant is to minimize 00:59.875 --> 01:02.042 the amount of , um , strength losses , 01:02.042 --> 01:04.042 endurance losses that they're gonna 01:04.042 --> 01:06.264 have . And then once they postpartum to 01:06.264 --> 01:08.431 help maximize and get them back if not 01:08.431 --> 01:10.542 better than they were before they got 01:10.542 --> 01:12.319 pregnant . We implement that by 01:12.319 --> 01:14.542 bringing in one of our strength coaches 01:14.542 --> 01:16.597 to help do the programming for the P 01:16.597 --> 01:18.653 three T class as well as bringing in 01:18.653 --> 01:20.542 the dieticians . Um and the other 01:20.542 --> 01:22.708 pillars to speak every once in a while 01:22.708 --> 01:24.931 on whatever subjects that the P three T 01:24.931 --> 01:26.819 soldiers are requesting . We have 01:26.819 --> 01:29.042 people within every trimester here . So 01:29.042 --> 01:31.208 when I came in being early on , I knew 01:31.208 --> 01:33.431 what limit I could push myself to . And 01:33.431 --> 01:35.542 the coaches always openly communicate 01:35.542 --> 01:37.375 with you asking them how they're 01:37.375 --> 01:40.470 feeling every day . Um If they're , 01:40.529 --> 01:42.696 there's second or third trimester , if 01:42.696 --> 01:44.640 they're not feeling as well , just 01:44.640 --> 01:46.807 asking them how they're doing . If you 01:46.807 --> 01:46.769 see a movement that's not looking quite 01:46.779 --> 01:49.001 right and just kind of bringing them to 01:49.001 --> 01:51.057 the side and asking them a couple of 01:51.057 --> 01:53.001 questions , modifying movements as 01:53.001 --> 01:52.889 needed and really just trying to 01:52.900 --> 01:55.122 encourage them to keep lifting and keep 01:55.122 --> 01:57.233 moving as much as they can throughout 01:57.233 --> 01:57.019 the pregnancy because it's only gonna 01:57.029 --> 01:59.370 help them later on . Well , having the 01:59.379 --> 02:01.500 coaches and the NC A is kind of 02:01.510 --> 02:03.566 watching you and being familiar with 02:03.566 --> 02:05.732 how you work every single day has been 02:05.732 --> 02:07.788 super helpful because there are some 02:07.788 --> 02:09.843 days where maybe I don't wanna admit 02:09.843 --> 02:12.010 that I'm having a harder time but they 02:12.010 --> 02:14.232 can see it . So then they'll say , ok , 02:14.232 --> 02:16.232 well , why don't we just , um scale 02:16.232 --> 02:18.343 back on what you're doing today . One 02:18.343 --> 02:20.510 of the things that really benefited me 02:20.510 --> 02:22.732 being in my first trimester for P three 02:22.732 --> 02:24.954 T was that it was at 815 ? Um , because 02:24.954 --> 02:27.121 I had gotten myself in the mindset , I 02:27.121 --> 02:29.288 still need to get up at 445 . And when 02:29.288 --> 02:31.399 I found out it was eight , at 815 , I 02:31.399 --> 02:33.399 was like , oh , this is going to be 02:33.399 --> 02:35.510 easy . I had no idea how much sleep I 02:35.510 --> 02:37.621 needed . I was more tired than I have 02:37.621 --> 02:39.732 been on any deployment than I've ever 02:39.732 --> 02:41.566 been on . Being in the P three T 02:41.566 --> 02:44.889 program has helped me be more con 02:44.899 --> 02:47.066 conscious of the fact that I should be 02:47.066 --> 02:50.089 eating before I come in to PT every day . 02:50.470 --> 02:52.637 Um , because before I was just so used 02:52.637 --> 02:54.748 to getting up so early in the morning 02:54.748 --> 02:56.970 and kind of rushing out the door to get 02:56.970 --> 02:59.137 to formation . But because we have all 02:59.137 --> 03:01.979 of this extra time before PT , I'm able 03:01.990 --> 03:04.101 to get up , I'm able to eat something 03:04.101 --> 03:06.212 before I come in and make sure that I 03:06.212 --> 03:08.101 have that energy , um , to do the 03:08.101 --> 03:10.323 workouts . Well , we like the workout . 03:10.323 --> 03:13.350 We like the sweat . Um , we try to , we 03:13.360 --> 03:17.210 try to motivate each other so that we 03:17.220 --> 03:19.820 can get better . Um , just because 03:19.830 --> 03:21.941 you're pregnant doesn't mean that you 03:21.941 --> 03:24.149 can't lift or you can't run or you 03:24.160 --> 03:26.490 can't stretch the way you would if you 03:26.500 --> 03:28.500 weren't pregnant . And I definitely 03:28.500 --> 03:30.333 think I'm more prepared for this 03:30.333 --> 03:32.222 pregnancy just because of how the 03:32.222 --> 03:34.389 program is starting off is this time I 03:34.389 --> 03:36.333 can kind of start off and maintain 03:36.333 --> 03:38.539 where I was physically and kind of get 03:38.550 --> 03:41.669 better when I get back . Um from giving 03:41.679 --> 03:44.339 birth . I feel excited to come here and 03:44.350 --> 03:46.350 get after my goals because it's not 03:46.350 --> 03:48.294 only gonna support me , it's gonna 03:48.294 --> 03:50.406 support my baby and my family , which 03:50.406 --> 03:52.461 then supports my career as well . So 03:52.461 --> 03:54.183 it's all reciprocal . Um So it 03:54.183 --> 03:54.889 supported me in a lot of ways .
