Pre and post natal exercise is an area where there are many misconceptions
and half truths. The important base to start is the beginning,
to understand the exercise history, stage of pregnancy and whether
there are any medical complications or concerns about the pregnancy.
Then, an exercise program may be prescribed.
Of course, the exercise program will need to be modified on a
regular basis in order to accommodate the changing demands of
the body as the pregnancy progresses. Each exercise prescription
must be different as each pregnancy is different although there
are specific guidelines which do need to be adhered to according
to each trimester.
The good news is that exercise can be continued and indeed should
be encouraged. There is now evidence to show that exercise in
pregnancy can help towards an easier labour, healthy birth
weight for baby and a contented mum!
You now have your baby but maybe you are struggling to regain
your figure, too tired to go to the gym or perhaps have just lost
a little confidence.
For an exercise plan to get you back into shape and regain your
fitness, personal training in the comfort of your own home may
be the answer.
We can even build the program around baby (so no childcare issues!).
The time can be arranged around your routine. I bring all the
equipment. You just need a willingness to give it your best and
I'll even help you with that.
