Strong Muscles = Easy Childbirth

Special exercises will give you strength for childbirth, strengthen your muscles and help you relax. You can train at home too!

The birth process requires maximum tension from the female body. But nature is wise and prudent, she does not leave a woman to the mercy of fate, does not turn away from her. At the time of childbirth, a powerful release of hormones occurs, which gives the body additional strength.

However, it would be a good idea to take additional care of yourself, ensuring that your body is in good shape by this important moment: playing sports during pregnancy makes the birth process easier.

The exercises we offer you were developed by Julia Tulper, a pregnancy fitness trainer who works in New York. If you practice regularly, the basic program is quite enough to prepare for childbirth. This is the best type of training for those women who consider themselves to be a non-athletic type and do not want to attend special courses, but who understand the importance of preparation and are ready to do something every day for themselves and their unborn child. There is simply no other way - endurance, muscle strength and strength appear only as a result of regular training. Although the program is designed specifically for pregnant women, every expectant mother, before starting to exercise, must consult with the doctor leading her pregnancy and receive confirmation from him that her condition allows her to engage in physical exercise.
