There are so many wonderful benefits of being fit and exercising regularly during your pregnancy! These research based benefits include easier, shorter labors and healthier babies due to increased oxygen and nutrition during their nine month gestation period.
Designing an individual fitness and exercise program, I take into consideration the overall history of health, current pregnancy health and the health of any prior pregnancies. I also consider whether or not the mother has been exercising regularly up to the pregnancy and we discuss her current fitness level.
Keeping these important factors in mind, we'll together assess fitness goals such as maintaining cardiovascular health, improving muscle tone, and returning to prepregnancy weight after giving birth. After the fitness program has been designed the mother will enjoy the benefit of guided exercise as well as my continued support, frequent reevaluation of fitness goals and the addition of new exercises as her abilities change through late pregnancy and after giving birth.
