What Is Prenatal Fitness?
One of the most common questions expectant mothers have is, “Can I workout when pregnant?” Fortunately, the answer is typically an emphatic yes: Exercise and pregnancy are the perfect pair.
According to guidelines set forth by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, pregnant women are encouraged to exercise regularly throughout all three trimesters — as long as they’re given the green light from their doctors first. Be sure to speak with your physician at your initial prenatal appointment to make sure that exercise is safe for you and the baby before starting or continuing any workout program. Most pregnant women can aim for approximately 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. Working out while pregnant is one of the best ways to keep you and your baby healthy. Furthermore, prenatal fitness is shown to reduce the risk of discomfort and complications in pregnancy. Prenatal fitness can all benefit you in other ways, outside of your pregnancy. It gives expecting mothers a chance to get out and socialize which can help boost mood and energy levels.

Why is posture so important?
Your posture is affected by a multitude of external factors. Things like genetics play a role, but so do your daily rituals, positions, and habits. Hectic routines and mobile lifestyles contribute to bad habits and bad posture. Slouching in chairs, carrying heavy backpacks or purses, and staring down at your phone can cause postural issues which can lead to more severe issues like neck pain, shoulder impingement, carpal tunnel, back pain, tendonitis, and injury over time. The silver lining? It’s never too late to correct your posture! From making simple changes in your daily routine and fitness routine, you can reduce body pain and improve your posture in only a matter of time.
