hi i'm kate i've been training for six
0:01
years now and i'm also pre and post
0:03
natal trained and this is my very first
0:05
baby i am 22 weeks pregnant hi i'm sim
0:09
i've been training for about eight years
0:10
i am pre and post natal trained i'm
0:13
currently 30 weeks pregnant and it's a
0:16
common misconception that once you
0:18
become pregnant or a few months into
0:20
your pregnancy that you need to give up
0:22
exercise and that's really not true if
0:24
you trained before for example if you
0:26
did spin or weight training it's
0:28
actually better for your body if you
0:29
carry on training we just need to adapt
0:31
it it's really good for your muscles
0:33
body and the baby to carry on training
0:35
to stay healthy the only thing you need
0:37
to do is slightly adapt your training
0:39
throughout the three trimesters
0:41
it's also important to let your midwife
0:43
or doctor know that you plan to continue
0:45
training and get the all clear first for
0:47
the first trimester you need to be
0:49
careful with jerky or jump emotions such
0:51
as hits burpees or high intensity
0:54
training because these 12 weeks are the
0:55
most important time for the baby to
0:57
develop also in the first trimester then
0:59
first 12 weeks you might have something
1:01
called morning sickness so you need to
1:03
be careful and listen to your body but
1:05
some women actually find that exercise
1:07
helps them with these kind of symptoms
1:09
trimester ii so in your second trimester
1:12
it's time to adapt your workouts the
1:14
first thing that you need to do is
1:15
decrease the intensity of your training
1:18
no matter what kind of training it is
1:19
that you're doing now is not the time to
1:22
be pushing for personal bests listen to
1:24
your body and just enjoy being active
1:27
decrease your rep and set range you need
1:29
to be aware that you're already burning
1:31
more calories just growing a baby pick
1:33
clothes that feel comfortable on you and
1:35
the bum and are not too tight or
1:37
restrictive drink plenty of water
1:39
throughout your workout you want to
1:41
ensure that you stay hydrated and
1:43
replace any fluid that's lost through
1:45
sweat take longer rest times and listen
1:47
to your body if anything feels
1:49
uncomfortable or starts to hurt then
1:52
stop immediately and contact your doctor
1:54
or midwife so in your third and final
1:56
trimester you should start to up your
1:57
calories around four to five hundred
1:59
calories on rest days and active days as
2:03
be mindful of how many calories you are
2:04
burning when you are doing your workouts
2:06
and make sure you replenish these you
2:08
need to slow things down so in this
2:10
final trimester you should be doing more
2:12
bodyweight exercises or pelvic floor
2:14
exercises to get you nice and prepared
2:16
for labor listen to your body if you are
2:19
tired adapt your workouts or even go for
2:21
regular light walks instead
2:24
so during this final stage you need to
2:25
do what's right for you and your growing
2:27
baby you should not feel any pressure to
2:29
continue to exercise but if you feel up
2:32
for it then carry on but if not listen
2:34
to your body rest and get prepared for
2:36
this new baby to arrive
2:38
so to summarise exercising during your
2:40
pregnancy is completely safe unless
2:43
you've been advised otherwise it can
2:44
help to get you and your body strong in
2:47
preparation for labour and all the
2:48
lifting and carrying you'll be doing
2:50
once a baby arrives it can help to
2:52
stimulate placenta growth and function
2:54
and also keep the size of your baby on
2:56
track throughout your pregnancy you
2:57
shouldn't take up a brand new strenuous
3:00
exercise routine or take up any kind of
3:02
contact sport you should always be
3:04
mindful of how you feel after all you
3:06
are growing a human i hope you found
