It is up to you, the trainer, to recognize every woman is different, and every expectant mother will have a different response to exercise depending on their health and fitness level before pregnancy. Body image in expectant mothers is something all trainers need to be aware of and on the lookout for. Body image is especially an issue in women who regularly exercised to attain optimal body proportions before pregnancy. An enlarged belly and increased fat deposits on the hips and thighs are necessary adaptations for fetal development and protection. You will learn how to help your clients maintain positive attitudes toward their physical changes and allow them to enjoy this special time in their lives. This certification also includes breathing, core conditioning, flexibility, strengthening, motivation, relaxation, and nutritional advice to meet the needs of your client and their baby. With our Pre and Post Natal Instructor Certification, you will have the tools to enable your client to be as active and healthy as possible up to and after delivery.
