Pre natal and Post natal Training
Diets Dont WorkMaintain fitness before and after birth with safe prenatal personal training
Current research shows that pre natal personal training has huge benefits and that women can safely exercise and maintain their levels of fitness during the prenatal period. Having a Personal Trainer in the build-up to the birth gets you all the support and motivation of one-on-one training plus an expert on hand to make sure that you are doing the right exercises the right way, ensuring you and your baby are fit and well before, during and after pregnancy.
Properly qualified prenatal personal trainers
Diets Don’t Work trainers are properly qualified advanced trainers, with both Natasha Vernon and Adam Atkinson fully qualified for pre and postnatal training. We train mums to be careful and to proceed with a mum-knows-best common sense approach. We have trained mothers right up to the due date with great results for both mum and baby. One Berkshire lady trained with us the same day as her c-section! Post-natal training can speed up your return to a normal weight. It will prepare you for the physical trauma of birth making the process fulfilling.
Medical intervention less likely with prenatal training
Women who continue to exercise regularly throughout their pregnancies are less likely to need medical intervention during labour and delivery (i.e. Pitocin use, forceps delivery, etc.). They also experience less time in both active labour and during the second (“pushing”) stage. Reports also show that being fit before giving birth makes getting back into shape after the big event much easier. With these findings in mind, more and more women are maintaining or starting exercise during their pregnancies. References: Clapp III, James F. Exercising Through your Pregnancy. Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics, 1998.
Good for your baby as well as for you
Research shows that babies of mums who exercised during pregnancy:
Are born healthier
Weigh more and have less body fat at birth
Are calmer
Handle labour better
Have significantly better oral language skills by the age of five
