Pre and Postnatal Personal Training
Having a baby is up there as one of the best events of life, but for some mums-to-be and new mums it can also be an emotional and confusing time when it comes to health and body image.
We all hope and pray we will grow a perfect baby bump, with no unnecessary gained weight that will see us triple in size in nine months! But in reality this can be hard to manage with all the other elements that come with being pregnant or having a baby.
Your health is highly important both pre and post natal and regular exercise has had proven benefits on pregnancy and post birth. Being pregnant certainly isn’t the time to start setting fitness goals of running a marathon, but regular exercise will help promote the health of you and bump, as well as helping with positive body image.
Lou a fitness specialist in both pre and post natal Personal Training will create the best program specialised for you and your baby!

Postnatal Fitness
Many new mums can be in a hurry to get back to fitness, before starting back into fitness training all new mums should waiting until their 6 week check up with their doctor or midwife to get a clearance to start personal training again. You may need more time to heal if you have had a caesarean delivery.
In starting back into your fitness we recommend low impact type of exercise to for the first 3 months your body is still recovering, however your personal trainer can guide you through this process.
-
Aim for slow, gradual weight loss of around half a kilogram per week.
-
Wear a supportive bra.
-
Avoid any activities that place stress on the unstable pelvic floor and hip joints until strength and stability has improved.
-
Ideally, your exercise sessions should last between 30 and 45 minutes until 6 months post childbirth.
-
Drink plenty of water before, during and after your training session.
-
Don’t push yourself too hard – if you feel breathless, slow down.
-
If you experience pain, slow down or stop.
Remember that it may take you months to return to your pre-pregnancy shape and weight, so don’t be discouraged by slow progress.
