Would you like to feel active, healthy and strong during your pregnancy?
Research shows that those who keep up an exercise routine when pregnant have fewer complications during pregnancy and have better recovery afterwards. So many women stop exercising when they are pregnant which is easy to happen as the first trimester can be very draining making it easy to slip out of good fitness and wellbeing habits. Maybe you didn't have an exercise routine in the first place but really want to prepare your body for what is to come?
We at SoulMoves are very passionate about supporting our mothers-to-be on their pre- and postnatal journey and stress the importance of continuing to exercise and remain active during your pregnancy. Let us help you feel your best during your pregnancy.
Benefits of pregnancy strength classes:
1. Improved posture and balance
2. Increased stamina and endurance for labour
3. Reduced back pain and discomfort
4. Faster postnatal recovery
5. Enhanced mood and reduced pregnancy-related stress
6. Improved sleep
7. Increased energy levels
8. Support and connection with other pregnancy women in the class
This pregnancy strength class includes:
1. Gentle strength exercises to prepare your body for each trimester, labour and after the birth of your baby using light weights, bodyweight and resistance bands
2. Information on how to monitor your own intensity during exercise; what exercises you can and cannot do during pregnancy; the signs and symptoms of over-exercising during pregnancy
3. Advice on how to keep up your exercise throughout your pregnancy considering important factors such as what exercise you did before you got pregnant, any contraindications you may be experiencing during this pregnancy and during previous pregnancies, your energy levels and what you would like to do to keep fit
4. Mobility and flexibility exercises to help you to adapt to and support your developing body
5. Nutritional information to help you feed you and your baby well and to encourage a normal weight gain during your pregnancy. I also like to give out healthy recipes to help with the increased need for sweet treats!
This class is suitable for pregnant women who have had their 12 week check-up and are cleared to exercise by their doctor.
