List of Our Services:
Let us help you to get back in shape or to get in better shape after your pregnancy in the comfort and privacy of your house.
Following childbirth, a woman who gained an average amount of weight (25-35 pounds) during pregnancy can expect to regain her pre-pregnancy figure and weight in about 12 weeks. Exercising with consistency will help tighten the pelvic floor muscles (Kegel exercises), the abdominal muscles and strengthen the back muscles.
Exercising for as little as 10 minutes a day and gradually increasing as time permits will help get you back into shape. A daily routine or a minimum of three times a week exercise program is better than an intermittent activity (e.g., just on weekends). If the birth was cesarean, consult with the doctor about when to begin an exercise program.
Recovery time from child birth will vary among women depending on pre-pregnancy fitness condition, amount of weight gained, how much the abdominal wall expanded and how much time and effort a woman is willing to give to improving her body. Additional factors include diet, amount of rest obtained and types of activities you are involved in.
Crash dieting is never recommended to lose excess pregnancy weight, even if you are not breast-feeding. It can lead to excessive tiredness, general ill health and even depression. Eating sensibly with emphasis on nutrition will help you return to the peak of fitness. Our Nutritionist will guide you trough a Customized Nutritional Meal Planning.
We plan an exercise program that includes aerobic activity, along with specific exercises designed to tighten the pelvic floor muscles and abdominal muscles that are loose and soft.
Advantages of Exercise
Exercise will help flatten the abdomen and tighten the perineum and promotes healing of uterine, abdominal and pelvic muscles that were involved in pregnancy and child birth. Exercise can help avoid urinary incontinence (leakage of urine). Exercising can bring benefits of health to your life including:
- Helps avoid a dropping (prolapse) of pelvic organs.
- Helps return loosened joints to normal.
- Reduces the risk of backache and edema (excess fluid) in the legs and feet.
- Provides an outlet for stress and lessens the likelihood of postpartum blues.
- A fitness program will tone your body, burn body fat for energy, and increase your metabolism and so much more!
Regular physical fitness activity has beneficial effects on most (if not all) internal organ systems, and consequently it prevents a broad range of health problems and diseases.
Regular Fitness Activity
Fitness programming can reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease. Regular personal fitness instruction can aid in the management of active problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or high cholesterol.
Fitness Over 50: Women
Once a woman reaches menopause, her body undergoes tremendous changes. Hormone levels fluctuate, and the body's metabolism slows. Women over fifty often find it difficult to drop those pesky extra pounds--weight that could contribute to heart disease or diabetes later in life. Because of these dramatic physiologic changes, physicians are prescribing exercise for women over fifty as a means to a healthy, enjoyable future.
Menopause: The Turning Point
Menopause marks a significant milestone in a woman's personal life. Additionally, menopause forces many physiological changes, some hazardous to a woman's health if left unattended. Just after menopause, a woman's risk of developing cardiovascular disease begins to catch up to that of a man's
The Benefits Of Exercise Are Countless
Regular personal fitness training will diminish and, in many cases, reverse negative health effects common to menopause. The risk for heart attack and stroke increases with menopause, the level of good cholesterol falls and bad cholesterol rises. This puts women at greater risk for heart disease. Regular fitness exercise and a low-fat diet, however, can help regulate cholesterol and help us to maintain a healthy weight.
The debilitating effects of osteoporosis can be slowed with regular exercise when the activities include weight-bearing exercises to strengthen bones. Pulling and stretching movements also aid in maintaining optimal bone density. But probably the most overlooked benefits of personal fitness training for women over fifty are the social rewards. Especially for older adults, social contacts and dedicated personal motivation can renew energy and spirit alike.
