MOOSE JAW FAMILY YMCA YMR Pre and Post Natal

 

Fit to Deliver
This prenatal exercise program is based on the belief that most women can and should remain active before, during and after pregnancy.

This program follows three principles:
Prevention: Exercise during pregnancy has been found to reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension. It will also address the effects of postural changes, low back pain, diastasis recti, and pelvic floor concerns as they arise.
Preparation: A fit body labors more efficiently and recovers more quickly. Strength gained or maintained throughout pregnancy in a prenatal fitness program will be a valuable asset.
Restoration: Time spent exercising during pregnancy will make it easier for a new mother to regain her pre – pregnancy shape, strength and fitness level.

Our Physical Therapists is a certified Fit to Deliver instructor and is able to tailor this program for different fitness levels and stages of pregnancy.

The class is open to all pregnant women who have consent on their health care practitioner.
