Benefits of Pre Natal Exercise

Congratulations… You have found out you are pregnant!!! What do you do now?
Many people use this time to cancel their training memberships and become idle for 9 months, thinking that is the best thing for their baby. But did you know that exercising while pregnant, especially if you have already been exercising, has huge benefits to both you and your new baby!!

Some of the benefits to you as the new mum may include:
Reduced weight gain, leaner appearance, lower incidence of injury, fewer pregnancy discomforts, more rapid physical and emotional recovery after birth, shorter and less complicated labour, increased energy levels, decreased risk of varicose veins and hemorrhoids, pregnancy-induced diabetes, and lower back pain.

Some of the benefits to your baby may include:
Less stressful labour and birth for baby, lowered incidence of umbilical cord entanglement, leaner baby, baby self quiets more easily post-birth, equal or increased development of the baby and lower fat levels in childhood.

Our Head Trainer, Carolyn, is fully qualified in pre and post-natal training. So instead of cancelling your memberships, give us a call and let us help you and your baby get the right start in life.
