It has been very fun to work with moms who are pregnant, helping them get ready for birth. In some way it makes me feel like I have helped contribute to the health of the baby in some way. Even if this is not actually the case, it still makes me feel good :).
What I enjoy even more though, is training a mom all the way through pregnancy, and then helping her get into the best shape of her life right after pregnancy. If it is a natural birth, we usually start back up with Fit Fun Bootcamps or MamaTone after 3-4 weeks and, if it is a C-section, 6-8 weeks after delivering.
It is great to hear the stories from the moms, especially who have now had multiple kids and didn’t do my specific type of training for their pregnancies before, and the difference they feel now with the proper heavy strength training and intense cardio.
Nearly 100% report:
-More energy during pregnancy
-Less inches gained
-Shorter delivery
-Feel better and better mood
-Bounce back quicker after giving birth
It is at this point where I need to remind you to check with your doctor before doing any exercise program.-Avoid lying on your belly once it becomes uncomfortable, generally between months 4-6.
-Decrease the intensity of workouts by one or two notches
-Make sure you are hydrated
-Make sure to keep breathing and not holding your breath
-Be careful with high impact and side to side movements, since the hormone relaxin is causing joints and ligaments to loosen up.

Aww Marty I think that is an awesome idea:)...Women need to stay motivated and active during pregnancy, considering that us women go thru so much during that time. Working out to stay healthy and feeling great is very important:)..yay so happy you are doing this for women.
