Personal Training > Pre & Post Natal Program
At no time is it more important to exercise safely and under supervision than when you are pregnant.
There are very specific do's and don'ts for exercising while pregnant and what you can and can't do changes throughout the trimesters to take into consideration the adaptions in your body shape/weight and the needs of your unborn baby.
The types of exercise that you do, the time spent exercising and the intensity of the exercise are all very important and strict guidelines must be adhered to in order to promote a smooth and healthy pregnancy. But don't worry, this all sounds very scary but when undertaken properly, structured exercise during pregnancy will not only make you better able to cope with the stress of being pregnant but you should also have a smoother labour, a healthier baby and getting back into shape will be much easier than if you had not exercised.
Just read what Michelle had to say about her experience with Personal Training while pregnant all the way up to 32 weeks:
 I was 31 weeks pregnant in this photo and feeling fit and healthy. I was keen to keep exercising throughout my pregnancy for my own health and that of my baby, but I was very nervous about what exercises I was allowed to do and what I should avoid. Neil knew exactly what I should be doing, and he also explained what I should avoid and why. This also helped me a lot when I was making decisions on what to do outside of my personal training classes. Neil was always happy to answer my many questions and his qualifications and experience put me at ease, as I knew I was exercising safely. I’ve been training with Neil since well before my pregnancy and I’m sure he’ll help me get back into shape after the baby is born.

Michelle now has a lovely healthy baby boy called Will and all are doing very well. The birth went very well and Michelle is just about to resume her training sessions (we'll go to her so Will won't be far away from Mummy). |
