Couples’ Prenatal Exercise Workshop by Loon Eng
“Is it safe for me to exercise?” almost every pregnant woman will ask you.
Most pregnant moms reduce their physical activity throughout their pregnancy mainly due to discomfort, yet in many cases, exercise is the answer to their pregnancy-related aches and pains.
Join Loon Eng, a mother and a Specialist Trainer with great set of skills and qualifications;
A) ‘Prenatal and Postnatal Women Expert’ with Burrell Education
B) NASM Certified Personal Trainer
C) NASM Certified Nutrition Coach
She sets the framework for precisely programming exercises that are both safe and beneficial for pregnant moms.
You’ll learn the best exercises to do and how to:
• Alleviate the most prevalent prenatal exercise myths
• Exercises that are safe, science-based, contemporary, functional, and integrated.
• Targeted strategies to significantly decrease body ache.
Bed rest is no longer required for all pregnant women; instead, you’ll discover specialised stabilising and pelvic floor exercises that contribute to considerable benefits in overall outcomes, such as decreased rates of gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and caesarean delivery, to mention a few.
Couples’ Prenatal Exercise Workshops are intended to provide you with the greatest and safest workout possible while pregnant. The workshops also provide great opportunities for you to mingle with other pregnant ladies and share your experiences.
