These specially designed workouts will strengthen your muscles to reduce the common aches and pains associated with pregnancy. You will learn how to prepare your body for the physical demands of labor, delivery, and motherhood.
Women who are active and exercise throughout pregnancy experience a 55% decreased incidence of birthing complications. Maternal exercise has been linked to stabilizing blood pressure as well as improving glucose tolerance for mother and baby. Exercise enhances the functional capacity of the placenta to provide increased nutrients, oxygen and blood flow to the fetus especially in times of stress (Source: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists).
