Pregnancy & Post-Natal Recovery with Deborah Wong
If you hadn’t noticed already, we love to talk about the benefits of Pilates for pregnant women and mums. And there is a good reason for this, aside from scientific studies we’ve seen many of our Instructors and clients enjoy a more positive pregnancy (and recover more quickly post-partum) because of their sessions with us. You don’t just need to take our word for it though.
At Breathe Pilates, we love to share stories so we have decided to start a series of post-natal journeys with our Instructors and clients. This week the spotlight is on our newest mum, Dr Deborah Wong who shares with us her pregnancy, labor, and her recovery experience.
Pregnancy & Pilates 101
You’ve probably already heard that Pilates is great during pregnancy, seen results from lots of celebrities who swear by Pilates and are now wondering what exactly Pilates does during pregnancy. For those who are expecting or know someone who is, we explain the science behind prenatal Pilates.
Pregnancy is an important time in every woman’s life and should not be a state of confinement. Pregnant women with uncomplicated pregnancies should be encouraged to keep active and continue to engage in physical activity. However, it is important to note that exercise in pregnancy is to improve or maintain muscle tone and not to control weight gain or to correct posture.
Prepping for D(elivery) Day!
Serena Williams won her recent 23rd Grand Slam title held in Australia in January this year while pregnant. Gal Gadot filmed reshoots of Wonder Woman while 5 months pregnant. Joanne Peh was pregnant when she shot intense scenes for local movie 1965. Pregnancy is all about understanding your body, and fitness goals and safety precautions should change along with your mental and physical changes. One of the best ways to keep yourself active is with Prenatal Pilates, as it still encourages engagement of the core, pelvic floor muscles, while still being a full body workout. Our Preggi Bellies instructors chip in on what they focus on to help you get ready for your new bundle of joy!
