Here are a few tips that are suitable for all of you!
TRAIN FOR YOUR BODYTYPE - find what works for you!
- A combination of resistance + cardio training works best!
- You grow and repair on your non-training days, so get lots of rest!
- Consistency is the key! Choose a routine that works for you and stick to it!
- Be sure to change your exercise routine every 8 weeks, so that your body does not become accustomed to the exercises. You need to shock your body to get results.
- Diet & supplements play an important role in a training regime, whatever you are training for.
As a rule, every woman should consult with her GP whilst pregnant and either continuing or commencing an exercise program as we all fall under different health status and circumstances.
If you are a healthy mum-to-be, you can participate in any exercise routine you were involved in before falling pregnant, but are warned that this is not the time to commence or take up a new sport or fitness routine, unless it is light walking, swimming or supervised Yoga.
Regular exercise during pregnancy can prepare your body for labour and the demands of a new baby. Pelvic floor exercises are especially beneficial.
Benefits of exercise during pregnancy include:
- resistance to fatigue,
- stronger back muscles,
- preparation for physical demands of labour ,
- improved posture,
- stress relief,
- faster recovery after labour,
- smaller gain of body fat,
- improved sleep patterns.
When exercising, pregnant women should avoid lifting heavy weights, must wear lose fitted clothing and must be able to maintain a conversation when exercising. They should also drink lots of water, try to stay out of the sun and listen to her body!!
