If you follow a safe, personalised exercise prescription before and during pregnancy and follow it through after giving birth, you and your baby should benefit greatly - physically, mentally and spiritually.
Once you achieve your goals after a training course, it is essential you maintain them if you are to enjoy their full benefits.
Here are some things that will help you stay in condition and remain committed to personal health and physical fitness:
You need to make a trip to the gym for a proper workout at least once every 1 or 2 weeks
Maintain your fitness by setting yourself an exercise challenge once a week
When doing hard cardiovascular exercise such as running or cycling, make it as challenging as possible
The same applies to weight training - make it hard on yourself, set new goals, challenge your body.
Try new and different routines to always keep your exercise regime interesting
Make sure you add some functional full body movements into your training to stimulate and train your nervous system - it will only be as efficient as you train it to be.
Most important of all, when you have achieved your goals, build on them and stay committed and motivated to your new strength and health. Whatever you do, don't throw it all away once you have worked so hard to empower yourself and at last become what you wanted. Why make yourself feel bad just through needless laziness?
Exercise regularly to get maximum mood boosting effect.
Exercise to relax when tense, irritable or stressed out.
Exercise to help you sleep better later.
Exercise to feel better about yourself
Once you have been taught how to exercise to correct routines, you should have exercise sessions on your own, preferably at a set time each day, both during training and after you have achieved your goals.
You certainly will never regret sticking to a personal exercise regime, always within your own capabilities, fitness and strength levels.
