Whether you have previously been a regular exerciser or not, why not take the opportunity to look after yourself during this important time, by training one to one with a specialist in exercise and pregnancy?
According to the nhs.uk site, the more active and fit you are during pregnancy, the easier it will be for you to adapt to your changing shape and weight gain. It is recommended you keep up your normal daily physical activity or exercise (sport, running, yoga, dancing, or even walking to the shops and back) for as long as you feel comfortable. This is because there is evidence that active women are less likely to experience problems in later pregnancy and labour.
Expectant Mums
Expectant mums, I can help you improve posture & lessen back ache, reduce pregnancy symptoms such as constipation and leg cramps, control excess weight gain, prepare your body for childbirth, boost energy levels helping you feel better about yourself, and lay the foundations for a faster post-natal recovery. As your body changes throughout the pregnancy, so the sessions will be adapted to suit you, whilst all the time ensuring the safety of you and your baby.
New Mums
New mums, following your 6-week post-partum check-up you can begin a structured exercise programme. I can help you re-tone your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, correct posture, regain your figure, develop good techniques in your daily tasks – essential in back care, and enhance that feel good factor with some all-important ‘you time’.
With Optimum Personal Training you get the support you need to achieve a body that protects and supports you during pregnancy and beyond – and one that feels great too!
