Pre and Post Partum exercise sessions

Our exercise sessions are planned to be suitable for ladies in all trimesters. 
Our sessions will include:
  • Light cardio to help with keeping weight gain during pregnancy under control.
  • Exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor and deep core muscles.
  • Strengthening of the arm muscles as you will be carrying and picking up your child
  • Overall strength and flexibility exercises that can help with faster recovery after delivery. 
  • Exercises to prevent or help with any musculoskeletal aches or pains during or after pregnancy

Benefits of training during and after pregnancy:
  • Training during pregnancy has its risks, BUT it's been scientifically proven that the benefits of exercise during pregnancy outweighs all the possible risks there might be. 
  • Exercise releases feel good hormones, which reduces the feeling of depression and anxiety. 
  • Exercise gives you a feeling of accomplishment and self-confidence. 
  • Exercise reduces the chances of diabetes and hypertension during pregnancy. 
  • It's normal to gain weight during pregnancy, but exercise is a way of keeping a healthy weight gain
  • It has been shown that when you strengthen muscles such as the glutes and pelvic floor, that there is a reduction in back pain and pelvic floor dysfunction, something that is common with pregnancy. 
  • It has also been proven that exercise during pregnancy shortens the time of labour and speeds up recovery following birth.
