The Funtional Mama-Functional Training in Pregnancy Federica Lippi

A woman's body will change more in 9 months of pregnancy than a man's will in his lifetime, and she needs an exercise program to match the transformation. A mom to be will need to master strength, agility, balance, speed, acceleration, deceleration, directional change and rotation, all with load that increases everyday. For these reasons a "functional" fitness plan for an expectant woman may look different from a non pregnant person's gym routine. This guide helps new moms to comfortably perform the movements and tasks unique to a pregnant person, and how to be prepared for the birth experience and new role in a functional way.
