Antenatal
Why you should be considering your antenatal fitness
An antenatal fitness program with Lucie is a great way to stay active during your pregnancy and can offer huge benefits for you and your baby. It’s never too late or too early in your pregnancy to start focusing on your physical health & fitness. The practice you put in during your second and third trimesters will ensure your body is well-prepared for your delivery and your postpartum recovery. It is essential to strengthen the pelvic floor and deep core muscles needed for labor.
Is it safe to exercise when pregnant?
For the vast majority of women – yes, absolutely. However, it is always recommended that you consult your GP or your midwife first.
The importance of strength training for pregnant women
Remember that during pregnancy, you’re not just exercising to increase your strength and fitness, but to maintain a healthy range of weight gain, and prepare your body for childbirth and recovery. Not to mention, you’re also releasing natural endorphins which make you feel good mentally during a potentially stressful time in your life.
How Lucie can help
Once you’ve been cleared by your doctor, reach out to Lucie and you’ll be individually assessed along with your goals. You’ll then have a specially tailored exercise plan developed which will adapt your exercise to your constantly changing body – at your own pace.
Time takes its toll – keep fit, trim and strong with a regular fitness programme.
During perimenopause through to post-menopause, it is hugely beneficial to maintain a bespoke fitness programme.
