You’ve probably heard the phrase: “Labor is like running a marathon.” And it’s true—birth is one of the most physically and mentally demanding events your body will ever go through. But most moms aren’t given a roadmap for how to actually prepare for it.
In this solo episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg breaks down how to train for labor using strength, endurance, and mobility—without pressure, perfectionism, or overdoing it.
Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or your fourth, this episode will help you approach labor with more confidence, capability, and body awareness.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why labor requires intentional training—just like a marathon
- The 3 key components of birth prep workouts: strength, mobility, and endurance
- How LIIT (Labor Intensity Interval Training) helps mimic contractions and build stamina
- Why mobility matters more than flexibility in labor (and how it supports pelvic floor relaxation)
- How smart, supportive movement can lead to a more empowered birth experience
Remember: you can’t control exactly how your labor will go—but you can control how you prepare.
Tune in to learn how to train in pregnancy for the most important athletic event of your life.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
