Say good-bye to the myth of the
“delicate” condition and hello to pregnancy in the 21st century!
Current research continues to show that women can safely
exercise and maintain their fitness level during the perinatal
period. Women who continue to exercise regularly throughout
their pregnancies are less likely to need medical intervention
during labor and delivery (i.e. pitocin use, forceps delivery,
etc.) and experience less time in both active labor and during
the second (“pushing”) stage. They also gain less fat and
recover more quickly then sedentary pregnant women. With these
findings in mind, more and more women are starting an exercise
program or continuing to exercise during their pregnancies. The
result is greatly increased need for fitness professionals with
the knowledge and skills to design and implement specialty
programs for this population as well as the ability to safely
integrate these women into conventional fitness settings.
Exercise provides innumerable benefits before, during and after
pregnancy. Learn how to increase your client’s self esteem and
enhance their well being and find out all the wonderful ways to
help the body prepare and “train for the main event.”
This training course covers very detailed information in a
user-friendly format. You will discover the benefits, risks, and
overall effects of exercise in relation to each phase of the
perinatal period as well as take part in a demonstration.
Healthy Moms® pre-postnatal fitness class.
Topics include: “Project Pregnancy” - Preconceptual Exercise
Planning, benefits of exercise, heat exposure, nutritional
concepts (appropriate weight for height, vitamin-mineral
supplementation, eating habits, vegetarianism) and intensity
guidelines.
“Training For The Main Event” – Pregnancy and Exercise:
Physiological and anatomical changes of pregnancy, overview of
fetal growth and development, basic obstetric tests, stages of
labor and delivery, labor medications, client screening
technologies, 1994 ACOG Guidelines, aerobic exercise, strength
training, nutritional concerns, relaxation strategies, marketing
tips and the latest research findings regarding pregnancy and
exercise.
“Postpartum: Returning To Your Fitness Goals,” Physical and
emotional changes, basic foundation or restorative exercises,
abdominal and pelvic floor rehabilitation, aerobic exercise,
strength training, stages of post partum depression,
breast-feeding and other nutritional concerns.
The optional take-home exam will test the practical application
of the information presented using an essay type format.

No longer is Anorexia and Bulimia
Nervosa the only face of disordered eating. In a society

role in understanding, identifying and managing clients who have
experienced these diseases firsthand. This workshop will
redefine the way we classify eating disorders through a frank
and cutting edge discussion of how body image,
obsessive/compulsive behaviors, eating and exercise all
