A New Mom on Working Out During Pregnancy, and After: "...allow room for grace"
In my last post, I shared that barre3 is for everyone and every body, including moms and their kids. Because our signature approach allows clients to adapt our postures to every need, we are also the perfect place for expecting and brand new moms.At barre3, we embrace that pregnancy and recovery are not linear. We encourage our clients to allow room for grace as they are going through a major transition in their bodies. Our barre3 class is low impact and our moves are adaptable. So while a pregnant client’s body changes, the workout will change with them.
While we will always start with broad modifications, our team is trained to address the individual needs of each client before, during, and after class. For pregnant moms, that means that from week one through the day they are ready to come back to working out after being cleared by their doctors, they can get what they need from our workout.I sat down with a longtime barre3 Old Town client, Tara, about her experience with barre3 while pregnant and now as a new mom. Here's what Tara had to say about her experience...
Meredith: You spent a lot of time in the studio when you were pregnant. How did barre3 support your pregnancy? Tara: I came to barre3 consistently throughout my pregnancy. It was generally easier on the joints than other workouts, plus I always could modify the moves, which left me feeling successful and not defeated. Even when my body was changing, it was so wonderful coming to the studio knowing that I would leave feeling totally refreshed and de-stressed.
