Congratulations! Once you’ve found out that you’re pregnant, you quickly come to the realization that your body is going to go through some drastic changes as you grow a little one inside of you and prepare for the amazing, yet strenuous task of birthing. Getting off to the best start possible is important as it provides your baby and your body with with health and fitness required to create better development and an easier birth scenario. The First Trimester Prenatal Fitness focuses on creating a personalized plan with health and fitness goals catered to your current physical condition and/or restrictions. This segment includes:

Determining your current condition allows us to develop the right health and fitness plan for you. This “active” assessment provides basic and functional movements to uncover postural and fitness issues that need to be addressed. - Postural Alignment
Creating a foundation for correct exercise and resetting current imbalances and misalignment created by daily activity (or inactivity) such as sitting or slouching, which become amplified by the added weight and discomfort of carrying your baby. - Core Training
Focused on developing inner-core abdominal muscles which are essential for easing the birthing process and successful postnatal recovery. - Cardio Training
Exercises that increase heart rate and focus on building better breathing techniques and endurance required throughout the birthing process. - Strength Training
Using full body weight and/or equipment to strengthen muscles and tone the body. This not only helps you look and feel better, but also prepares you for the delivery of your baby.
