At such a special period in your life, it can be difficult to know how to exercise safely but effectively. Together we can work on realistic and achievable fitness objectives for all stages of your pregnancy, whether first, second or third semester. There are many types of exercises available to you during pregnancy, but it’s important they are done correctly and within certain guidelines. The programmes will always be based on ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology) guidelines and up-to-date research on the key issues of training whilst pregnant.
Post-natal exercise can be so beneficial to your body and your mind and your new mini fitness recruit! We can workout together on an individual basis or in small groups outside*, which is stimulating not just for the mum but for the baby/toddler too. We’ll work on adopting and maintaining correct posture and with cardio vascular and strength training we hope to help prepare you for some of the challenges of motherhood!
*Groups are arranged privately. |  | | I started training with Ali 8 weeks after giving birth, with the goal of attaining my pre pregnancy ody in time for my wedding just 5 months later. Having not exercised at all during my pregnancy was initially nervous of my capability but Ali started slow and adapted as I got stronger. here was a huge feel good feeling, not only from exercising but also of being outside and thinking about me rather than the baby. I easily achieved my goal and more in time for my wedding. I felt better about my body shape and general fitness level then, than I had in years.
I am now 28 weeks pregnant with my second child and still enjoying the weekly routine. Ali’s knowledge of post and pre natal training is incredibly reassuring and I leave the sessions feeling healthier and full of energy. Faye, Twickenham | Training with Ali as part of her Buggy mums groups has been brilliant. Because of the attention Ali gives to each individual, exercises and classes can be adapted to meet everyone's needs. This meant I was able to train after the birth of baby no. 1, throughout the pregnancy of baby no. 2 and then with both my boys. The classes can be adapted to meet the needs of the babies’ ages as much as the needs of the mum resulting in a much more productive class. The sessions have improved my fitness and general well being as well as being a lovely weekly social event. Madeleine, Richmond |
