A pregnant woman owes it to herself to prepare her body for the challenges of pregnancy, labour and birth by exercising. Studies and research show that the benefits of exercising during pregnancy include limited weight gain, less physical discomfort, more energy, easier, shorter, and a less complicated labour. A fitness program will help a pregnant woman maintain or improve her fitness level and avoid varicose veins, low-back pain, gestational diabetes and pregnancy-related high blood pressure.

After the birth a new mother owes it to herself to begin exercising as soon as she feels ready. Studies and research show the benefits of exercising in the postpartum period include increased energy level, muscle tone, flexibility and strength, improved cardiovascular, respiratory and circulatory systems, lower percentage of body fat, faster recovery and faster return to pre-pregnancy weight.

The true measure of success of your commitment to an individualized fitness training program is the profound changes, improvements and benefits you will experience.
