Congratulations, you’re expecting! As Moms-to-be, you have entered a very special time in your lives. We hope to enhance these important months by motivating and inspiring you to be fit, strong and beautiful. We invite you to experience the benefits of Prenatal Physique, an effective total body workout designed just for expecting moms.
Prenatal Physique was developed to address the needs of women who desire a comprehensive exercise program during pregnancy. The specialized class was created with recommendations from medically trained professionals and closely follows the guidelines of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Based on the Physique 57™ method, Prenatal Physique is a unique trimester based program that combines cardiovascular activity, strength training and stretching exercises. Through an intimate 57 minute class, clients will build muscle tone, strength, endurance and flexibility.
Each strength training variation and orthopedic stretch series is tailored for expecting moms at each stage of their pregnancy. While exercise during pregnancy is tremendously beneficial, careful adjustments are necessary as mommy’s body grows to accommodate her growing baby. We encourage you to continue with Physique 57™ along with the weekly Prenatal Physique class. Once you have taken a Prenatal Physique class, you are equipped to use the unique prenatal variations in beginner and intermediate level Physique 57™ classes.
It is never too late to start a safe and effective exercise program. Even if you have not exercised before pregnancy, it is better to start now than to avoid exercise during these next physically challenging months.
Please remember that if you decide to workout during pregnancy, it is best to be consistent. Irregular workouts can reverse the positive effects of exercise by causing injuries and muscle fatigue. The physical and emotional benefits of prenatal exercise include:
- Emotional gain. Regular, consistent exercise can help develop a sense of focus and determination at a time when the body feels out of control.
- Improved energy levels. A stronger heart and lungs, well toned muscles and increased flexibility will help to maintain energy levels throughout the day.
- Self esteem. Exercise can improve self image and provide a more positive outlook on your pregnancy.
- Reduces back pain. Strengthening the muscles of the lower back and abdominals can help prevent hip and back pain. Additionally, a focus on alignment and posture will prevent back pain caused by rounded shoulders.
- Improved circulation. Exercise reduces the likelihood of varicose veins, swelling and leg cramps.
- Tension relief. Prenatal exercise can help to release physical and emotional tension and stress.
Additional Physique 57™ Prenatal Benefits:
