GOAL:
This aquatic exercise class is offered to expectant mothers who are looking for a way to maintain good overall health during and following pregnancy. This 1-hour session will work to address a full-body fitness education, including low-impact aerobic exercise with stretching, strengthening, and range of motion activities for the entire body. Aiming to reduce pain associated with later stages of pregnancy and improve on general stabilization as your body prepares to give birth to your child.
BENEFITS:
Water is a phenomenal environment to help achieve strength, motion, and reduced pain. The buoyancy of water supports our body’s weight and reduces the pressure on our joints and spine. The warm water pool provides a reduction of pain associated with the later stages of pregnancy for expecting moms.
