If you were told to stop doing certain exercises the moment you found out you were pregnant, you’re far from the only mum who’s been handed a list of rules without any explanation behind them.
We love how Sarah from Women’s Fitness & Health Professional talks about this, because she’s lived it. Through her own pregnancies she learnt that a movement which felt great one week could feel completely different the next. What she discovered was that this didn’t always mean stopping, it often meant changing how she did it.
A flat bench chest press became an incline chest press, a bird dog became a tabletop two-point balance extension and those small changes meant she could keep moving and stay strong through each stage of her pregnancy.
This is the heart of how MumSafe Trainers work with pregnant women. Rather than handing you a list of dos and don’ts, they help you understand your options, the signs worth paying attention to and how to adapt when your body is asking for something different, so you can feel confident making decisions about your own training.
