Don’t wait, get started with prekanga now!

Pregnancy is an exciting experience in a woman’s life and the changes that occur during the 40 weeks are a real challenge for all fitness professionals.

Although many women continue to exercise throughout their pregnancy, there is also a large number of women who stop exercising and carve out time for their physical well-being, especially after giving birth, when the arrival of the baby absorbs a large part of their attention and it is quite difficult to follow a regular exercise program.

Therefore it is of great importance that regular activity is encouraged during pregnancy by means of a safe and effective training program which takes into account the relative risks.

The prekanga was developed to safely guide a choreographed workout , geared towards pregnant mothers-to-be.

Prekanga is a fun and safe exercise for pregnant women from the thirteenth week until the day of delivery.

Toning exercises alternate with aerobic movements . These exercises are aimed at improving the physical condition in view of the birth and help prevent any discomfort in the pregnancy. Particular care is devoted to myofascial release and pelvic floor preparation for childbirth.

The expectant mother learns to perceive her body, keeps fit and strengthens the mother-child bond.

Going into the specifics of the pregnancy response, a certain precaution is recommended during the first three months of conception, especially if you have never practiced sport before that moment, asking your gynecologist for an opinion.

If the expectant mothers are neophytes, it will be good for them to approach this method no earlier than the fifteenth week. Physical activity after this somewhat delicate phase should be gradual in terms of duration and frequency. The duration should not exceed 30 minutes of activity and the frequency should not exceed 3-4 times a week.

What are the benefits of Prekanga?

Exercise during pregnancy has many benefits.

The woman who trains during pregnancy should maintain a certain frequency so as to resume postpartum in a much simpler way. A proper cardiovascular and strength-training program can make childbirth easier.

• Mood improvement . The pregnant woman experiences a state of well-being in exercising and she feels that she is doing the best for her baby.
  About her Weight self-control. The pregnant woman has a greater sense of control over weight gain and other changes that occur in her body.
• Greater awareness of your body. By keeping in motion, the pregnant woman is more attuned to the changes she is facing. This results in greater control of the body and posture, minimizing related risks.
