EVENT DESCRIPTION
Olympic gold medalists, Kristin Armstrong and Dani Rowe, are back with a special new series of workouts designed for new moms. These workouts will pave the way to the release later this year of a complete training program for expectant and new moms. Dani and Kristin invite you to join them as they test out new workout material and share their knowledge and experience with other new moms around the world.

Dani, who is due in September, and Kristin, who trained through pregnancy and won 2 gold medals after the birth of her son, will join each week to lead the workout and conversation.

While these workouts are aimed at expectant mothers, we invite any women who want a less intense, shorter workout to join. This is about sharing experience, asking questions, and staying fit together. All are welcome!

About this workout: Start-Stop

This session is a progression from the 30 minute Start- Stop workout in this series where you will tackle 3 blocks of 4 efforts, with each block’s effort increasing in intensity but decreasing in duration. Each block roughly equates to the same training stress, but just varying the type of stress and effort.

Who’s Dani?
Dani Rowe née King is one of the most decorated British cyclists of all time. A three-time World Champion, two-time European Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist, and the World Record holder for the 3km Team Pursuit, Rowe was an absolute beast in the saddle. In 2018, at age 28, Rowe has retired from professional cycling, and now spends her time working with sponsors, partners, and making media appearances. And that’s not even getting into her very own coaching business, Rowe and King. And, some days, she pops into the Zwift studio to offer insight with the PowerUp Cycling Podcast. The biggest news in Dani’s life is that she will be welcoming her first baby into the world in September 2020. She has used Zwift to remain healthy and active throughout pregnancy and wants to help others in the same position both pre and post birth.

Who’s Kristin?
Kristin Armstrong, a 4x Olympian, an entrepreneur and a mom is the most decorated U.S. women’s cyclist of all time and the best time-trialist in sports history. A three-time Olympic Gold Medalist and two-time World Champ, Armstrong is the only female athlete to win the same event in three consecutive Olympic Summer Games (Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2018). Following her first Olympic Gold in Beijing, she retired and became a mom to Lucas and quickly came back to the sport to win her second gold in London with Lucas in her arms. Kristin rode throughout her pregnancy and is excited to share her insights with soon-to-be moms on riding, motherhood, and keeping a balanced life after delivery. These days, she’s in Boise, Idaho, where she’s started a business called PIVOT Lifestyle + Fitness that focuses on health and fitness. And, some days, she pops into the Zwift studio to offer insight with the PowerUp Cycling Podcast.
