Keeps muscles strong to support your changing body and carry the extra weight comfortably.
Regular moderate exercise is proven to improve sleep quality during pregnancy.
Exercise releases endorphins that help manage the emotional challenges of pregnancy.
Targeted core and back strengthening significantly reduces the back pain common in pregnancy.
Women who exercise during pregnancy typically experience faster postnatal recovery.
Research shows regular exercise is associated with shorter labour and lower C-section rates.
Every trimester requires a different approach. Eliza adjusts your programme as your pregnancy progresses.
Weeks 1โ12. Energy levels vary and nausea may be present. Focus on maintaining existing fitness and building good habits.
Weeks 13โ26. Often the most comfortable trimester. Modify as bump grows โ avoid lying flat on your back.
Weeks 27โ40. Intensity reduces. Focus on mobility, breathing, pelvic floor, and preparing the body for labour.
Recovery is individual. Eliza builds your programme around where you actually are โ never rushing the process.
Gentle movement only. Short walks, breathing exercises and very light pelvic floor activation. No structured exercise until medical clearance. Eliza can guide you on what is and isn't appropriate during this window.
Following 6-week check (or 8โ12 weeks post C-section), structured exercise can begin. Focus on core rehabilitation, pelvic floor strengthening, and rebuilding basic strength. Diastasis recti assessment included.
Progressive return to full training. Strength work intensifies, cardio builds back up, and body composition goals can be addressed. Nutrition coaching is particularly valuable during this phase, especially if breastfeeding.
Return to full training with goals โ whether that's weight loss, athletic performance, or simply feeling like yourself again. Many of Eliza's most dramatic transformation results have been postnatal clients.
Whether you're newly pregnant, in your third trimester, or recovering after birth โ the best time to start is now. Book a free consultation with Eliza to discuss your situation and goals.
