Pre-Natal and Post-Partum Exercise
Not so long ago, pregnancy was regarded by fitness professionals almost as a
disease. Pregnant women were asked to rest, lye down, elevate their feet and,
maybe during the last trimester of pregnancy, they could walk a little.
Nowadays, this outlook on pregnancy has changed quite drastically. Pregnancy is
finally being recognized as a modified state of health rather than an illness.
Research is unravelling the benefits of exercise during pregnancy and more and
more data is being registered on the positive effect of exercise on pregnant
women’s cardiovascular fitness, weight gains, mobility during pregnancy,
discomfort, … and a lot more.
As a fitness professional, you can have a very important role in the life of
your pregnant clients. In this workshop, you are going to receive enough
information so that you can understand the physiological, hormonal, endocrinal,
anatomical and psychological changes your pregnant clients are going through.
