» Pre & post natal exercise
There have been many studies focusing on the effects of exercise during pregnancy and it is widely accepted that professionally prescribed, monitored, moderate exercise can have many advantages. These include:
- Control of excess weight gain and enhanced psychological well-being
- Improved posture and consequently a reduction in the likelihood of backache
- Better circulation

- Mother and baby's circulation are inter-related through the placenta so the exercise benefits affecting the mother's circulation may also affect the foetus
- Faster post natal recovery
- Enhanced confidence and self image, which may help new mothers cope with their changing body shape and the post natal 'baby blues'
- Increased body awareness
- An alleviation of sleep related problems
- Strengthened muscles and increased stamina leading to an improvement of the mother's ability to cope with the physical demands of childbirth

Often inactivity is the culprit for over 55's feeling less energetic, suffering muscle deterioration, 'the middle age spread', a decline in mental alertness and developing disease and we should not accept that these delights are simply part of the natural aging process. A growing number of studies have demonstrated again and again that the 'use it or lose it' theory is so true when it comes to aging. The more we accept that we are unable to participate in the activities we enjoyed during our younger years the less capable we will be to perform them as we get older. These studies have highlighted how crucial it is to incorporate exercise into our daily routines throughout our lives and especially as we grow older. Lifetime Fitness will design a safe, fun and effective programme for you that will strengthen bones and muscles, improve suppleness and increase endurance and energy levels so giving you the freedom of choice, without physical restrictions, to carry on enjoying many activities once thought to be reserved only for the young. |
