About the Updated Pre & Post Natal Course
Guidelines on Exercise for Women in the Pre & Post Natal Period
The NHS advice for pre and post natal women is to stay active and exercise during pregnancy however that it should be done with precaution and guidance. Similarly, after pregnancy in the post natal period women may return to exercise from around 6 weeks, again with adaptations and precautions to exercise.
There is therefore huge demand from women who want to exercise in both the pre and post natal period. This qualification is a valuable next step for professionals who have already completed a personal trainer course or Pilates instructor course and want to support pre and post natal clients safely However, less than 10% of Level 3 Personal Trainers hold this vital pre and post natal qualification.
