PRE & POST NATAL EXERCISE

Firstly, if you are visiting this page, I am guessing you are pregnant or a new mum, so Congratulations.

As a trainer who has studied REPs Level 3 Pre & Post Natal Exercise, I am able to offer you fitness and exercise advice during all three trimesters of your pregnancy, what to do after giving birth, when you should return to higher levels of intensity, and of course how you can regain your pre-pregnancy body shape after the massive changes that have occured over the past 9 months.



The majority of women greatly benefit from exercising throughout their pregnancy, it can help to reduce or prevent:
  • Back Pain & Leg Cramps
  • Fatigue
  • Constipation & Urinary Incontenence
  • Insomnia
  • Excessive Weight Gain
  • Nausea
  • Anxiety & Depression
  • Varicose veins
  • Muscle Imbalances
  • Swelling of the limbs
  • Pregnancy induced Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
  • Diastasis Recti (the seperation of the abdominal recti muscles)
  • Medical interventions in delivery (such as labour inducing drugs, caesarean section and forceps)

Exercise may increase or improve:
  • Posture
  • Cardiovascular fitness and increase energy levels
  • Muscular strength & endurance
  • Recovery time after birth
  • Self esteem, confidence and mental well-being
  • Relaxation
  • Core strength to help support your body
  • Circulation and lood flow
Regular exercise can also reduce labour time by up to 30%. PLUS, exercise can also help to prevent or reduce gestational diabetes and deep vein thrombosis.

However, there are many concerns that mums-to-be & new mums have to consider when thinking about exercise during or after pregnancy, and for both yours and your new or unborn baby's safety, it is essential you speak to a fitness professional who has the relevant REPs Level 3 Pre & Post Natal Exercise qualification.
