Fitness training for pregnancy is a specialised subject. When you're pregnant you do need to change the way you train and
what you do when. You need to have a trainer who knows their ante and post natal theory and has practical experience of
working with pregnant and post natal mums. We provide all the information and training you need to keep you fit and
healthy for pregnancy and beyond.

What you can & can't do in pregnancy:
 |
- When you're pregnant (or post natal) you're not ill but you are a special case. You can begin fitness training at any
stage of pregnancy providing you feel well enough. Doing exercise will not make you miscarry. However if your
doctor advises rest then you must, of course, take his advice. If you've not exercised regularly before conceiving you
need to start gradually
- Running and Jogging will not make you miscarry but it may make you feel uncomfortable. Exercise during pregnancy
should make you feel like you've worked but not exhaust you. If you've always enjoyed jogging you can continue as
long as you feel well. If you've never run before conceiving then there may be more appropriate forms of exercise
for you.
|
- In the first 3 months you can fitness train like you were doing before with two exceptions; you should be doing 50
pelvic floor squeezes per day and you should not be doing any normal sit ups/ curl ups as you need to let your
stomach muscles stretch
- As your shape changes over the next 2 trimesters your programme will need to change to-to adapt to your changing
centre of gravity and the different hormones that will kick in. For example you need to change the way you stretch
out and the way you lie on the floor.
