Prenatal Fitness Program

 

Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy?

If you are healthy and your pregnancy is normal, it is safe to continue or start most types of exercise, but you may need to make a few changes. Physical activity does not increase your risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, or early delivery. However, it is important to discuss exercise with your obstetrician or other member of your health care team during your early prenatal visits. If your health care professional gives you the OK to exercise, you can decide together on an exercise routine that fits your needs and is safe during pregnancy.

Regular exercise during pregnancy benefits you and your baby in these key ways:

• Reduces back pain

• Eases constipation

• May decrease your risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and cesarean delivery

• Promotes healthy weight gain during pregnancy

Read below some current client’s testimonials that have gone through this program several times with us:

​

I've been training with Jose for the past 4 years and during that time, I've been pregnant twice. I can't emphasize enough how having a consistent workout routine during both of those pregnancies helped. It not only gave me more energy throughout my pregnancy, but definitely helped with my recovery after. After having both of those babies, I felt great physically and got back to my pre-pregnancy self faster. I contribute that to the fact that I was working out prior. Another great thing about working out with Jose was that he modified the workouts throughout my pregnancy and knew as my body and belly got bigger, my abilities changed. He was great in customizing each workout based on my ability.  Jose understood the importance of not only keeping me in good physical health, but also the baby.  If you are pregnant and looking to stay in shape and feel good throughout your pregnancy, I highly recommend working out with Jose and his customized routines.
