No more generic advice like "just listen to your body" or a list of do's and don't. Pregnant bodies are strong, capable and can be appropriately challenged throughout each trimester. Your prenatal training goes beyond simply modifying movements. Develop an understanding of how to move your body to create balance in your pelvic floor, find more pelvic mobility and positions to encourage optimal positioning for baby during labor, how to navigate common dysfunctions like SPD/pelvic girdle pain, and set yourself up for a successful postpartum recovery. You do not have to spend 9 months feeling restricted, confused or fearful in the gym. Train for motherhood and feel strong in pregnancy.
