PRENATAL LESSONS
Prenatal lessons last 45 minutes with 15 minutes of free float time at the end. They cater to the needs of pregnant women. Everyone is free to work at their own pace during this gentle but effective work out.
Lessons average four-six women ranging from 12 to 40 weeks. The benefits from water aerobics include better sleep, increased energy and endurance, relief from back pain and sciatica, more flexibility and easier movement.
The Benefits of Water Exercise
Swimming is possibly the best form of exercise you can take during pregnancy. Even a gentle swim provides you with a great cardiovascular workout that boosts your circulation and aids the transportation of oxygen and nutrients around your body. This helps you to feel energized and also reduces water retention and swelling.
Swimming also works every major muscle group in your body so taking a regular trip to the pool will facilitate the development of muscle tone. This will help you to adapt to your changing shape and recuperate post pregnancy. Swimming also begins to build endurance and endorphin responses that will make you better equipped to tolerate pain during labor.
Swimming also provides you with the opportunity to relax - gently swimming up and down a pool can be very therapeutic while simply floating in the pool with the water supporting your body can help relax both your mind and your muscles.
Why is This Good for Pregnancy?
Water exercise forces you to strengthen your core muscles - especially the abdominals and lower back - almost without trying. That’s because you must contract and use these muscles in order to stabilize yourself as you move in a pool.
