An exercise program somewhere between mild and moderate is the ideal solution for pregnant women. For expecting mothers who were exercising regularly prior to pregnancy, we recommend that they maintain their exercise schedule with some modifications of lower-impact exercise. For those who were not active prior to pregnancy, don’t worry it’s not too late, you can embark on staying fit at any time during your pregnancy as long as a certified prenatal fitness instructor is present to design, monitor and help you through the process.
Bio3fitness runs a positive pregnancy and parenting fitness program that was designed by our professionals pre- and postnatal fitness instructors. While training pregnant and expecting mothers, we first teach them how to relax, exercise and strengthen the core. Gaining strength during pregnancy is important because being physically stronger will help pregnant women through labor.
At Bio3Fitness we offer strength-training exercises to strengthen the muscles of the upper back and abdomen which are important to enhance pregnancy posture which usually assumes rounded shoulders and an arched back to accommodate a woman’s growing belly. Exercise during pregnancy reduces pregnancy-related discomforts such as leg cramps, back aches and increases energy levels while improving the quality of sleep.
There are still a lot of misconceptions about exercising during pregnancy, with lots of people believing that it is unsafe and dangerous. While the reality is that exercise during pregnancy is good for both mom and fetus. It increases blood flow and gives moms to be more energy and stamina in preparation for labour.
