Founded by Andrea Page in Toronto Ontario Canada FITMOM has developed a reputation for being a challenging, safe and effective program for one of the most important times in a womans life. Motherhood. During pregnancy the health of the mother and baby are magnified through exercise, proper nutrition and reducing stress. Until recently pregnancy and postpartum exercise was thought of as dangerous and potentially harming one's baby. However study by the ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynocologists) has changed that. Coupled with the research from reknowned OB/GYN specialst Dr. James Clapp III, science has proven that being active throughout pregnancy and in even postpartum can have lasting positive effects on your baby. Prenatal exercise can come in many forms and be beneficial. Low impact prenatal aerobics can be done postnatally for cardio. Prenatal and postnatal weight training can be used to develop strong muscles and joints. Pilates can be done while pregnant or postnatal for long lean muscles and stretching as well. Prenatal pilates also has the added benefit of being very low impact and a safe way to transition throughout your pregnancy. Prenatal yoga and postnatal yoga are also quite beneficial for learning breathing and stretching techniques.
FITMOM'S program rests on a combination of resistance training and aerobic exercise. Although that is its core program it encompasses so much more than that as well. Postpartum wellness and nutrition. Prenatal couples yoga and so many more activities for new and expectant mothers. Our range of offerings has grown so much over the last 5 years that we are now branching out and creating licensed/ franchise operations for mom's who want to bring FITMOM to their own community. We hope you enjoy your visit to our website and want to thank you for considering FITMOM. We hope to see you soon in one of our new or expectant mom and baby fitness classes in toronto.
