Pre & Post Natal Fitness And Nutrition

Pregnancy is a modified state of health. Women have the ability to remain fit before, through and after their pregnancy.

There has been a shift over the years from misconceptions like you should not be walking, you should be resting, you need to eat for two, etc; to making sure you stay fit and active throughout your pregnancy.

If you have the luxury of planning your pregnancy, it is great because you can actually come out and be your fittest. If not, it is a good time to say that it is not a sickness. You should embark upon a fitness routine which is fairly simple, making sure that you stay active throughout the day.

Join a prenatal or postnatal yoga/fitness class

You should go through a certified professional who knows all the prenatal protocols because within the gym environment there are certain modifications required to continue to exercise safely right till the end. There is science that has said that women who have stayed active through their pregnancy have more chances of a normal vaginal delivery.

Pregnancy is not the time to start anything new
