Pauses between reps

I know there are other bad…

did your cardiovascular fitness improve after pregnancy?:
One of my friends told me a story about a certain country encouraging the members of its woman's field hockey team have a baby because the adaptations improved cardiovascular performance. I thought this was bunk and was under the impression that all the physiologic adaptations of pregnancy basically reversed themselves 6-8…
