Is exercising during pregnancy safe?
Do you want to stay active during your pregnancy? Good idea! Sports and pregnancy go very well together. In fact, it provides all kinds of health benefits, for you and the baby. Exercising not only makes you feel fitter and stronger, but also mentally unbeatable while your belly is growing. But there is more: a fixed sports routine allows you to take a breather (or not ;) between all the arrangements and prepares you for everything that is to come.
Work that bump
In the Basic-Fit Pregnancy Program you work on your mobility, strength and fitness to increase your stability and balance. And that is very important: the bigger your belly gets, the more you lose balance. The workouts in the Pregnancy Program are curated by professionals, including physical therapist Meghan Dodds and Marrit Hahn-Nicolai, author of #NOEXCUSES, a workout guide for pregnant women. You can perform the pregnancy exercises in the club or at home. All exercises are tailored to the different trimesters and 100% safe to perform during pregnancy and beyond. Whatever your level!
