Exercise in Pregnancy
Although you may not feel like running a marathon, most women benefit greatly from exercising during pregnancy. You'll need to discuss your exercise plans with an exercise professional and your doctor early on to make a few adjustments to your exercise routine. It is a good idea to hire a personal trainer during this time as well as after the birth to ensure you are exercising safely at all times ad avoiding certain exercises. I offer reduced cost personal training with combined nutritional advice for mums to be. As after all, you will be wanting to spend all your money on your new baby when he or she arrives.
Benefits of exercising during pregnancy
You will:
Feel better - At a time when you wonder if this strange body can possibly be yours, exercise can increase your sense of control releases endorphins (happy hormones) and boosts your energy level.
Relieve backaches and improve your posture by strengthening and toning muscles in your back.
Help you sleep better by relieving the stress and anxiety that might make you restless at night.
Look better - Exercise increases the blood flow to your skin, giving you a healthy glow.
Prepare you and your body for birth - Strong muscles and a fit heart can greatly ease labor and delivery. Gaining control over your breathing can help you manage pain. And in the event of a lengthy labor, increased endurance can be a real help.
Regain your prepregnancy body more quickly - You'll gain less fat weight during your pregnancy if you continue to exercise (assuming you exercised before becoming pregnant). But don't expect or try to lose weight by exercising while you're pregnant. For most women, the goal is to maintain their fitness level throughout pregnancy.
