As a pregnancy personal trainer, I understand the unique needs of expectant mothers. My approach includes:
Yes, you can have a personal trainer during pregnancy. It's important to choose a trainer experienced in prenatal fitness who can create a safe and effective workout plan tailored to your stage of pregnancy.
Exercises that should be avoided during pregnancy usually include high-impact sports, contact sports, exercises with a risk of falling, and activities that involve lying on your back after the first trimester. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
Women with certain medical conditions or pregnancy complications, such as heart disease, severe anemia, placenta previa after 26 weeks, risk of premature labor, and preeclampsia, should not exercise during pregnancy. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise regimen.
Walking in moderation is usually safe and beneficial in the early stages of pregnancy. However, it's important to listen to your body and avoid overexertion. If you have any doubts or experience discomfort, consult your doctor.
Planks can be safe for some pregnant women, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. However, as pregnancy progresses, modifications or complete elimination of these may be necessary. It's essential to consult a fitness professional experienced in prenatal exercises for guidance.
Avoid exercises that involve lifting heavy objects, lying on your back, jumping a lot or bouncing, or the risk of abdominal trauma. Also avoid exercises that could cause a loss of balance, especially in the third trimester.
There is no specific month to stop exercising, as it varies from person to person. Many women can continue modified exercises up to childbirth. The key is to adapt the exercise routine to the growing body and changing center of gravity, and consult with your doctor throughout the pregnancy.
Embarking on a fitness journey during pregnancy is a wonderful decision for both you and your baby. As your dedicated pregnancy personal trainer in Brisbane, I am here to guide you through a safe and personalised fitness experience tailored to your unique needs during this special time.
