Get fit to give birth, brand new pregnant Pilates course

By Studio 21

A NEW Pregnant Pilates course will start on Friday 8th July, 4:30pm – 5:25pm, for 5 weeks.
Pregnant Pilates at Studio 21 is a highly effective and enjoyable exercise class incorporating a unique mixture of Pilates, core stability and postural strengthening exercises, using resistance bands, balls and body weight exercises. The course will help to strengthen the postural muscles, thus reducing the risk of pregnancy-related back pain, maintain the tone of your deep abdominal muscles during the first months of pregnancy, keep the pelvic floor strong, and aid relaxation.
The course is suitable for women 14 weeks plus into pregnancy, whether you are in the first, second or third trimester, it is truly important that you do the right sort of exercise. To keep both you and your growing baby safe it is highly advisable to exercise with an instructor who is fully trained specifically in antenatal pilates – this will also give you peace of mind.
Taking part in a regular exercise programme that is tailored for expectant women will not only increase your energy levels and help prevent lower back pain but it will also encourage a more speedy post natal recovery.
Exercises are specifically designed with participants in mind, which is why it is important to complete a confidential health screening form prior to starting the course.
