We all know that playing sports offers great health benefits, from improving our fitness and endurance, to regulating our blood pressure.
But, have you considered exercising during pregnancy and postpartum? During pregnancy, playing sports promotes weight control and prevents excessive weight gain, also corrects posture, and increases psychological well-being. During postpartum, it will help you recover much sooner.
The .be project, created by Beatriz Espínola with the aim of accompanying any woman in the different stages of her life and helping her take care of herself inside and out, is perfect for performing the exercises that your body needs correctly.
Exercising during postpartum will help you recover sooner
This offers training for women personally, both online and in-person at different stages of pregnancy and postpartum.
The training lasts 50 minutes and can be both personal and in small groups. They work on strength, cardiovascular resistance, and mobility, and at all times they are complemented with specific exercises focused on the abdomen and pelvic floor, always taking into account the anatomical characteristics of women.
If you are pregnant, the training will be dedicated to understanding the importance of breathing to activate the transversus abdominis and the pelvic floor and work together.
Depending on the week of pregnancy you are in, you work more on strength and cardio (until week 34) or on mobility, relaxation, and preparation for childbirth (from week 34 or 36).
And what happens during the postpartum period? Can I start exercising as soon as possible? To be able to do the training after giving birth, the main thing is that the gynecologist gives you the go-ahead so that you can resume physical activity.
Once you have the yes, the exercise will begin by reconnecting and strengthening the pelvic floor and the lumboabdominal girdle through specific and hypopressive respiratory and activation exercises.
