Before we start talking about Pre / Post Natal Exercise let’s start with a couple of questions….

  • Are you already working in the fitness industry?
  • Do you have clients or might you in the future that are pre / post natal?

 

Understanding Pre / Post Natal Exercise Instruction

Pre / post natal exercise is not an illness; it’s a natural process of bringing life into this world. Being pregnant should never hinder pre / postnatal exercise! Many exercisers and instructors believe it might, but it doesn’t have to. With careful consideration, we can tailor our training sessions and classes to suit the needs of pre / postnatal clients.

Physiological changes occur during pre / postnatal stages, but we can educate you about them, enhancing your confidence in working with these clients.

Modifications to exercise positions are necessary at various pre / postnatal stages, and you’ll learn about those too.

The intensity, range of movement, and impact of exercises require modification as the pre / postnatal stages progress. These adjustments are easily learned and passed on from us to you, and then from you to your clients.

Benefits of Pre / Post Natal Exercise

  • Reduces backache
  • Improves sleep quality
  • May help prevent or treat gestational diabetes
  • Boosts energy levels
  • Enhances posture
  • Builds muscle tone, strength, and endurance
  • Improves circulation, reducing pre / postnatal-related swelling
  • Helps mothers-to-be stay fit and cope better with labor, facilitating post-birth recovery

We should support safe exercise before, during, and after childbirth. You don’t need to lose clients just because they’re pre / post natal. While they may require careful monitoring, exclusion isn’t necessary.

Seize the Opportunity

What are you waiting for? You could even specialise and make this your niche area.
