From the moment it’s confirmed, a mother’s main focus during pregnancy is the health of her baby. No alcohol, no smoking, no shellfish, no heavy lifting…no exercise – wrong! The previous factors can be harmful to your baby, but exercise can make your baby’s arrival into the world a safer, quicker, healthier journey for you both.

Pregnancy is a challenge, but don’t make it harder than it needs to be, regular exercise has shown numerous health benefits for mother and baby. Exercise with me in an environment you’re comfortable in…pool, studio, in a park, gym or in your own home. With my specialist knowledge we will work together on making you a stronger, healthier, happier mother from now through to labour.

On the arrival of a new baby, your needs can become secondary, especially exercising. Your body’s changed, you’re tired, there never seems enough time, and who will look after the baby?!?

Home exercises are a great way to combat some of these stresses. Simple, short workouts created with you in mind, and no equipment needed.

If the gym environment is more your scene, I am based at a friendly, welcoming leisure centre in Plymouth with an onsite crèche. Contact me for more information.
