Exercise has so many benefits during pregnancy here are just a few –
Improves mood and sleep, we have included relaxation and breathing exercises within our programme specifically to help you with this.
Weight gain during pregnancy is not only natural but essential as you are building another little person. Many women worry about gaining “too much” weight; regular exercise can help you to maintain a healthy weight.
Regular exercise and movement can also help your body to adapt to the physical changes you will experience during pregnancy including reducing the incidences/severity of back issues.
Most importantly; regular exercise especially those that focus on the pelvic floor muscles reduces the risk of urinary incontinence (so you can still jump up and down on a trampoline or the bed when your baby is older).
Who is our class suitable for –
If prior to pregnancy you were exercising regularly you would be able to join our programme at any time. If you haven’t been exercising regularly it is important that you introduce exercise slowly and regularly; the current guidance recommends starting with 3 x 15 minutes of continuous exercise per week. We recommend that you speak to your care provider prior to starting our exercise programme if you are less than 12 weeks pregnant, have any health or medical issues that may affect your pregnancy or if you are having multiple babies.
