If you meet a pregnant woman tomorrow, you will be able to communicate with her about what to do for exercise during these forty weeks. With this session, intended for beginner and intermediate trainers, we cover ACOG guidelines, recent research, pelvic floor integrity, Diastasis Recti, postural changes, and more.

Key Takeaways:

  • You will walk away with a checklist that you can use to address important components of exercise during pregnancy, and then incorporate them into your program design 
  • You will learn practical exercises, movements to address potential muscle imbalances 
  • You will be able to communicate with a pregnant woman and enable her to feel confident in your competency.
