Workshop – Pre- and Post-Pregnancy

Welcome to the Pre- and Post-Pregnancy Exercise Workshop

This workshop is designed to support personal trainers in their ongoing development as health and fitness professionals. This topic has been, and continues to be, the subject of intensive research within the medical profession.

In recent years, the medical profession has demonstrated a willingness to collaborate and work more closely with health and fitness professionals. This partnership has led to a number of positive discoveries that have significantly increased awareness of what can be achieved through the combination of proper exercise, good nutrition, adequate recovery, and improved mental focus and concentration. During the workshop, we will examine the three stages a pregnant woman will go through and aim to provide sound advice and principles that will keep both mother and child in good physical and mental health.

At the end of the workshop, we’ll also take some time to discuss postpartum exercise—specifically, how soon a new mother can resume her exercise routine and what kinds of activities she can do.
