How Can Trainers Adapt Workouts for Pregnant and Postpartum Clients?

When working with pregnant clients or those who just had a baby, trainers should keep a few important things in mind:

  • Safety First: Always talk to a doctor before starting any workout.

  • Modify Intensity: Use lighter weights and less jumping. Pay attention to how the client feels.

  • Core and Pelvic Floor: Focus on gently strengthening these important areas.

  • Flexibility: Include stretches to help with tight muscles.

  • Postpartum Recovery: Slowly bring back exercises like running or lifting weights.

Remember, everyone’s experience is different. Be flexible and supportive!
