Here are four areas of fitness that you can focus on during pregnancy that will help you with birth and delivery! Giving birth to your baby is like the "event" you're training for throughout your 9 months of pregnancy (and even prior to!). Just like any event, it does take time to prep yourself for the wonderful event!
Hear about how... strength training
cardiovascular training
stretch/release work
core exercises all play a role in your labor and delivery experience! I address important considerations and how these areas of fitness help you have the in-control experience you're hoping for!
