Staying Active During Pregnancy
At the exciting time we found out we were pregnant earlier this year I was the fittest I had been in a long time (thanks to being engaged to a PT!). Being a little older (12 years) than when I had Eve, I knew the healthier I was the better it would be for me and our bub so I wanted to keep going but in a safe way. My timing was perfect as Sam was about to introduce his 28 pregnancy program and I was more than happy to be the test dummy.
It combines pregnancy safe workouts every day, pregnancy pilates and yoga options and a pregnancy safe eating plan designed by their nutrition team. I’ll be honest and say that I didn’t follow it to the letter. I made sure I listened to my body and just went for a walk when I was a little tired or needed a break. At 38 weeks pregnant I couldn’t believe how strong and energised I felt.
For lots of women (including me when I was pregnant with Eve), not knowing what exercises you can safely do probably means that you don’t do anything at all. No mother wants to put their baby at risk if they’re not completely confident. Snezana Markoski: ‘How I Stayed Active During My Pregnancy’ | Marie Claire Australia
