Benefits of Prenatal Strength Training

Being a mom is an athletic feat. It’s a dynamic, activity, requiring constant changes in energy, direction and intensity. While new moms prepare for the challenge of lifting a child whose weight increases weekly, expectant moms adapt to changes in their center of gravity and postural alignment. Pregnancy hormones may cause too much mobility, making balance and stability a challenge. A fitness plan that integrates strength training with postural alignment and stability will prepare you for the first “Main Event,” childbirth, and the subsequent events involved in “bringing up baby.”

An article in "The Physician and Sports Medicine" journal describes the benefits of strength training for women.

Strengthening the muscles around the joint prevents injuries, and enhances stability.

*Functional strength training that uses different muscle groups simultaneously prepares you for the multi tasking involved in motherhood.

*A toned muscle has an elevated metabolic rate. While weight loss during pregnancy is not an issue, strength training may prevent excessive weight gain.

James F Clapp MD. Discusses prenatal strength-training benefits in his book, Exercising through Your Pregnancy

Regular, sustained, weight bearing exercise is the best type of exercise for pregnant women because it clearly complements the adaptations to pregnancy. However, the proper frequency, duration and intensity will vary from woman to woman.

Many factors influence your frequency, duration and intensity. Participation in a strength- training routine prior to pregnancy may enable you to maintain that program, with some modifications, for most of your pregnancy. Inactive women should seek their doctor’s advice...

This info is obviously for women intending to get pregnant. What is not so obvious is that their husbands need to know these things too; it is the husband's responsibility to keep his woman happy and healthy.

This means that once you, as a man, commit to having a baby, you have to commit to every nuance of being a good husband and a good father. Every non-family oriented expenditure of your time and energy, every habit and nuance that once identified you as a single person has to be dropped.

Every habit and characteristic of being a good husband and a good father has to be completely integrated into your life if you want a happy, healthy family - OR - they will be nothing but fodder for every kind of human pain and suffering that decadent society has to offer.

Be that good husband. Be that good father. IF you don't know how to do this, then find out how. Your True Love, and Your True Happiness is at stake.
