PRE-NATAL TRAINING – The how, what & why?!

WHAT IS PRE-NATAL PERSONAL TRAINING?

  • 1-1 sessions with a pre-natal specialist to help guide you through your pregnancy

WHO CAN DO IT?

  • Pre-natal PT is suitable for women in all stages of pregnancy (subject to medical conditions)
  • For most women,it is completely safe for mother and baby (and even recommended!) to exercise during pregnancy. However, before starting any training, you will need to check with your doctor/midwife in case of any contraindications to exercise.

DID YOU KNOW…EXERCISING DURING YOUR PREGNANCY CAN…

  • Help avoid excess weight gain which can lead to a high-risk pregnancy as well as increasing your unborn child’s risk of adult obesity
  • Reduce your risk of gestational diabetes
  • Boost your immune system and so reducing the chance of illness, for a safer and happier pregnancy (remember you are unable to take MOST mainstream medication when pregnant!)
  • Help reduce and manage unpleasant pre-natal symptoms such as morning sickness and water retention
  • Improve your mood, release positive endorphins and reduce depression and anxiety both during and post-pregnancy
  • Improve sleep quality and energy levels
  • Be more physically comfortable, able and reduce your risk of injury
  • Help reduce your likelihood of pregnancy-related medical issues such as lordosis, back pain, pelvic pain, abdominal separation AND help speed up your post-partum recovery

WHY CONSIDER A PERSONAL TRAINER DURING PREGNANCY?

Aside from the numerous benefits we can all get from regular exercise (which still apply if you are pregnant!) Pre-natal training is also beneficial to:

 

  • Prepare your body for the demands of pregnancy & labor (core strength, pelvic floor, pregnancy posture, as well as muscular strength and endurance)
  • Get tailored 1-1 exercise sessions with a pre & post-natal specialist ensuring suitable and safe training for you and your bump!
  • Get informed about what is going on in your body throughout your pregnancy: Physical changes, hormones, what to expect and when? What does this mean for you? Empower yourself with the knowledge to have your best possible pregnancy
  • Understand the do’s and don’ts when it comes to exercise and nutrition during pregnancy
  • Help manage weight gain, symptoms & reduce the likelihood of pregnancy-related medical issues
