Post Natal exercise at Iso Fit

Pilates offers the perfect post-natal workout and can be practiced by mothers in varying post-natal stages. Primarily, Pilates strengthens the core control muscles of the lower abdominal region and pelvic floor, creating a muscular "corset" to support the spine; strengthens and lengthens the back muscles; and blends toning and stretching to alleviate muscular tension arising from repetitive physical movement (bending over, carrying, nursing, et al). It can also help participants re-discover pre-pregnancy body awareness by focusing on balance, posture and breath to facilitate movement. In both the studio and group training environments, the instructor will modify exercises for post-natal clients so that they regain optimum toning in the minimum amount of time.

Participants should be at least six week post-partum and have physician's approval to begin exercise regime.
