Pre/Postnatal Personal Training

Thanks to recent research focused on exercising moms, it is now well-proven that women who exercise during pregnancy experience tremendous benefits including better pregnancies, easier deliveries, and healthier newborns.  

​

Take a look at the research.

​

​

Exercising during pregnancy has been proven to substantially help YOUR BABY:

• Increase the health of your baby while making your little one "easy to care for"

• Improve nutrient and waste exchange via improved placental function

• Reduce fetal interventions (ie. forceps, in-utero surgery)

• Reduce fetal-affected complications (ie. bleeding, ectopic pregnancies, miscarriage, high blood pressure, growth restrictions, and low amniotic fluid)

• Reduced likelihood of macrosomia (excessive birth weight baby)

​

 

Exercising  during pregnancy has been proven to substantially help YOUR PREGNANCY:

• Fewer pregnancy discomforts (weakness, low stamina, increased immunity and energy)

• Avoid Diastasis Recti (separation of the abdomen), saggy skin, and stretch marks after delivery

• Less weight gain

​

​

Exercising during pregnancy has been proven to substantially help you during YOUR LABOR:

• 33% less time spent in labor

• 35% decrease in need for pain relief (less need for drugs like epidurals)

• 50% decrease in need to artificially rupture membranes

• 50% decrease in need to induce or stimulate labor (Pitocin)

• 50% decrease in need to intervene due to abnormalities in fetal heart rate (low heart rate in the baby, cord entanglement)

• 55% decrease in need for episiotomy

• 75% decrease in exhaustion during labor

• 75% decrease in need for operative intervention (including major surgery like C-section)
