Pilates & Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a woman’s life, so the pregnant woman is not ill, nor does she have any illness to move, carry or even treat her as a patient. She continues living her everyday habits and life generally, unless her gynecologist has given her other instructions.
On the basis of the results of the monthly exams, her doctor can prompt or prevent the pregnant from various activities etc.
Our first goal in a Pilates program is to give the woman who is pregnant an exercise that she can safely perform during pregnancy. Women who exercised before pregnancy may continue to exercise if there is no serious reason for her doctor to make her stop.
However, those, who didn’t exercise before getting pregnant, should avoid training the first trimester of pregnancy and start afterwards, which is advisable as the pregnant woman must support her body (due to the daily burdens and changes that occur in her body).
Our second goal is to design a pilates program that pregnant women can perform everywhere with minimal help and safely.
Additional topics taught at the seminar:
- Changes occurring during pregnancy
- Contraindications to exercise during pregnancy
- Benefits of exercising during pregnancy
- What the gymnast should know during pregnancy
