| Pregnancy is an exciting time. Your body will provide all the oxygen
and nutrients your baby needs to grow and reach his or her full potential
- both physically and mentally.
The Moms In Motion program at Pro-Health
& Fitness Center is an exercise and education program
specially designed to help expectant mothers, like you, have a
healthier pregnancy, delivery, and recovery.
Moms In Motion follows the exercise guidelines established by the American
College of Sports and Medicine and the American College of Gynecology
and Obstetrics. So, regardless of how active or inactive your lifestyle
may have been before your pregnancy, you can safely participate in our
guided exercise program.
Moms In Motion focuses on cardiovascular and strength building exercises,
as well as relaxation and breathing techniques. With this program you
will be able to increase your endurance and strengthen and tone the
muscles used during labor and delivery. The class rotates through four
formats: low impact aerobics, step aerobics, body shaping, and water
aerobics.
Through participation in Moms In Motion, you will be able to:
- build your endurance
- maintain/improve your muscle tone and strength
- maintain your range of motion
- relieve stress and tension
- reinforce your self-esteem and a positive body image
- protect against back pain
The program also offers you:
- up-to-date information on pre/postnatal exercise, nutrition, and
emotional changes
