Why is exercising after pregnancy a good idea?
It’s really important that you look after yourself after you’ve given birth and that includes doing regular exercise. We recommend post natal training because it:
- Keeps you strong and active
- Boosts your energy levels
- Give you positive ‘me time’
- Relieves stress – stay calm and in control
- Supports mental health
- Promotes faster recovery from pregnancy and child birth
- Strengthens and tones abdominal muscles
- Helps you to get back to your pre-pregnancy weight and feel body confident
- Reduces aches and pains
- Strengthens and rebuilds your pelvic floor
- Helps with posture and back pain
- Helps you to sleep better (although we can’t promise baby won’t wake you up!)
- Supports mental health and boosts your mood by releasing endorphins (feel-good chemicals) in your brain
- Helps to reduce the risk of post natal depression
- Helps you to return to work – increased stamina focus and confidence
