If you are pregnant you can still do exercise but there are limitations depending how far into your pregnancy
you are, if you have been exercising recently and if this is your first child. Don't assume you know what exercise you can
do, I will guide you though safe and effective exercises and make sure that your core stability and pelvic floor muscles are
strong ready for the birth (did you know that people who exercise regularly are said to have an easier birth? What are you
waiting for?!).
"I found out I was pregnant a few weeks after I started having sessions with Jenny & she was able to
adapt each week as I progressed throughout my pregnancy to enable me to continue to exercise safely & with confidence.
Having someone so encouraging & friendly made my weekly sessions something to really look forward to. Jenny also gave
me exercise programs I could do on my own inbetween sessions which I found really useful." Nikki Thompson
"After reaching a point of feeling very unhappy with my weight gain, I hesitantly signed up to a gym &
also made the decision to have a personal trainer. 16 months & many sore muscles later, I can safely say that this was
easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. I found Jen to be extremely beneficial for me. I cannot fault her technique,
depth of knowledge or approach. She has always taken my welfare to heart by setting my exercise regime at a pace that I felt
comfortable with but at the same time challanging me. Her approach is easy going, but focused. Our sessions are varied which
keeps it interesting - this has been great as I was concerned that I would get bored with the gym. However there was no need
for concern as she has introduced me to exercises that I would never have imagined existed. Jen also introduced me to spinning,
which became one of my favourite classes to attend.
I was so happy with my progress with Jen that I decided to continue seeing her during my pregnancy.
I trust Jen's advice implicitly & did not at any time feel she was putting me or my baby at risk. I continued to see Jen
up to my 34th week of pregnancy.
I know that jen made my exercise/fitness program much more enjoyable - she has definately put me in a better
position to continue exercising once the baby is born. I just wish that I was much closer to her so that I could continue
seeing Jen as my personal trainer." Vanessa Miles
The babies of exercising mothers are proven to have higher apgar scores, lower body fat, higher general
intelligence and are better self soothers.
Lying on your back for long periods can affect your foetus. Don't leave your exercise regime as it was before
you became pregnant. Get help so you know you are not taking any risks. I have done a course on Pre and Post natal training
and have trained pregnant women throughout their pregnancies.
If you have given birth in the last 6-12 weeks there are also considerations that need to be applied to
your training. Did you have a natural birth or a ceaserian? Were there any complications? Get a better physique than before
your pregnancy (yes it is possible!) with my help.
