Exercise & Pregnancy
There are major benefits to keeping fit and healthy during pregnancy. From the first thought of adding to your family right through to…..well, there’s never an end to keeping fit.
General fitness is a lifestyle but when adding more pressures to your body through pregnancy, your personal health and wellbeing should be at the forefront.
Training is always varied and 100% personalised - ensuring your sessions are interesting and effective.
HIIT
Short periods of intense exercise with less intense recovery periods. This type of training is very effective for fat loss. HITT is known to burn 25 to 30 percent more calories than resistance training, cycling and treadmill running.
This type of training develops the strength and size of muscles. We will use barbells, dumbells and kettlebells for this style of training. Lifting the weights will help build muscle mass which will in turn help to lose fat mass.
Using the punchbag, gloves and pads, boxing training is a great cardio workout. Also a brilliant way of destressing. Many people enjoy this type of training as it can be extremely varied with lots of different moves and combinations.
This trains your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements that you might do day to day like squats (getting up from a chair, picking things from the floor). There are a lot of bodyweight exercises involved in functional training.
The opposite to High Intensity Interval Training. Instead of pushing yourself to your limits for a short time with LISS training you aim for a low level of exertion for a long continuous time. These workouts can improve posture, eliminate pain and enhance performance. It is a low endurance workout at a relaxed level.
Pilates is low impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements. It emphasises proper postural alignment, core balance and muscle strength. Pilates will be beneficial alongside any other type of training for anybody at any age.
There is so much conflicting information available nowadays for mums-to-be. Is it safe to exercise? When is it not safe to exercise? What exercises should I be doing? There are so many questions to ask and this is where I come in.
01Yes it is safe
Yes! It is safe to exercise and keep fit as long as you train in the appropriate way for YOU and YOUR pregnancy.
Every pregnancy is different and therefore putting yourself under the watchful eye of a Personal Trainer is highly recommended.
02Your body
I have a wealth of experience working with women before, during and after their pregnancies and I am also lucky enough to have my own experience as a Mum to 2 boys. I know all too well the struggles and pressures pregnancy can put upon a women’s body but also the much needed extra energy for when they finally arrive.
