New On-Line Pregnancy Fitness Program Designed to Keep Moms Fit, Sexy and Strong

Jan. 15, 2008 - PRLog -- Perhaps the only thing more protective than a mother to her baby is a mother to her unborn baby. For centuries, moms-to-be have shied away from smoking, drinking alcohol, eating fattening foods and even going to the gym for fear that strenuous exercise could harm their babies.
    But thanks to a revolutionary on-line fitness program, pregnant moms can now receive all the tools and knowledge they need to stay more fit and healthy through the duration of their pregnancy than ever before.  "More than ever, women want to do all they can to make sure their unborn child is as healthy as possible in the womb while keeping their bodies as healthy as possible, too," says Rebecca Davison, founder of Fit & Fabulous Pregnancy. "Our program not only can increase the health of the child but also makes mom happier and healthier by providing all the necessary information to help her body through the pregnancy experience."
    Davison, a certified personal trainer with an emphasis in prenatal training from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, is uniquely qualified to offer this novel health and fitness regime.  But it was more than her experience as a personal trainer that led her to develop Fit & Fabulous. She says it wasn’t until she was pregnant and began researching information on fitness that she discovered there is very little information for women who want to workout safely and effectively during their pregnancy.  "I'd been a personal trainer for years, but after I became pregnant I realized that I didn't know how to train myself during my prenatal months," she explains. "But what I discovered was that pregnancy does not have to be the end of anyone's quest for a fit, healthy body and that pregnant bodies are really quite amazing and strong. And staying in shape through the full nine months will pay big dividends to the health of the mother and her baby."

The Fit & Fabulous Program
When viewed in its entirety, the Fit & Fabulous program is as close as a pregnant mom can get to working out with a trainer at her convenience – in the comfort and privacy of her home or at a local gym of her choice.  Members will receive personal, one-on-one attention and a plan designed specifically to fit their needs through all phases of the pregnancy. The foundation of the program starts with two strength-training workouts every week through the pregnancy – from week five through week 40 and each week in between.  These workouts include stretches for common pregnancy-induced problems and exercizes to improve a woman's balance, core and strength, all of which are important during the prenatal months. Each week, these personalized workouts are sent to the member's e-mail address.
    Members also will receive the Fit & Fabulous Pregnancy newsletter every week that offers a wide-range of tips, advice, techniques and suggestions for a fit and healthy pregnancy, including advice on fluid intake, endurance control and exercise do's and dont's for each stage of pregnancy. Members also have unlimited access to Fit & Fabulous through e-mail that guarantees a personal and confidential reply within 72 hours along with access to articles on many different pregnancy-related subject such as nutrition, exercise and prenatal fitness. Additionally, members have access to the Fit & Fabulous Web site with up-to-date articles on health and fitness as well as tips on nutrition and staying fit.
    Beyond the wide-range of printed advice, another especially unique aspect of the program is the access to videos that members can view online. Davison says, "In the videos, I'm able to show pregnant moms the proper form for many of the exercises we prescribe in the program, showing them the exact way to perform their individualized exercises."

Benefits Abound
According to Davison, there are numerous ways the Fit & Fabulous program helps the pregnant mom and benefits the unborn baby.

For moms, some of the benefits include:
•   Increased energy and stamina
•   Improvement in mood and alleviation of stress
•   Decrease in backaches and swelling
•   Better sleep
•   Prevention or treatment of gestational diabetes
•   Reduced constipation and bloating
•   A strengthened posture
•   Quicker recovery to getting back "in shape" post partum
•   Better muscle tone and strength
•   Improved fitness of heart and lungs

For the baby, some of the benefits include:
•   Being more comfortable late in the pregnancy
•   The ability to better tolerate the stress of delivery
•   Being born leaner and healthier

"Studies have shown that the stimulus of exercise may accelerate the development of the baby's brain while in the womb," Davison says. "So a healthy and fit mom could very well mean a healthier and fitter baby."
    Davison says that whether a woman is planning to become pregnant, is already pregnant, or recently has given birth, Fit & Fabulous can tailor a health and fitness regimen completely customized to her needs. "In a nutshell, we're offering a blueprint for a healthier and happier pregnancy – before, during and after. The days when women were too scared or uninformed about working out during pregnancy are over."
    The complete Fit & Fabulous Pregnancy program is available for $129.99. To register, log on to: www.FitandFabulousPregnancy.com.  A 6 month post pregnancy program is also available for $99.99.
