Physical Fitness during pregnancy can lower your chances of having a high-risk pregnancy as well as reduce common pregnancy symptoms and prevent or cure postpartum depression, high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, risk of heart disease, and more. An active pregnancy also helps labor and recovery go smoothly.
NOW is a great time to start living a healthy lifestyle. Everything you consume will be passed onto your baby so it is imperative you are providing nutrient-rich foods daily and reaching your daily caloric intake levels.
Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from him. Psalms 127:3

PREGNANCY FITNESS
Proper nutrition is essential to a healthy pregnancy. The growing fetus requires different amounts of nutrients that can be obtained through a well-balanced nutrition plan. As you progress through your trimesters you will experience pregnancy symptoms that you can find comfort from through proper nutrition as well. Find out what foods can be harmful to the baby’s development and what foods are most beneficial to their healthy growth.
Having a fitness plan to follow before, during, and after pregnancy allows you to know exactly what will benefit you and your unborn baby the most. You’ll know how and how much weight you should gain during pregnancy, and how and when you will get to your postpartum fitness goals. You will have a very clear vision of what those specific goals look like and know exactly what to do each day to accomplish them.
Take Action
Learn what is best for you and your baby at every stage of your pregnancy. Discover how a well-balanced nutrition plan and perfectly designed workouts work together to create perfection for you and your new addition. Learn what foods are safe and beneficial and what to stay away from during this precious time of growth and development. Obtain a clear understanding of what exercises and movements are deemed harmful to a growing fetus and which safe exercises and movements will greatly benefit the mom.
Nicky Sanford
“ Working out before I became pregnant set me up for a healthy pregnancy. I was able to continue training throughout pregnancy, modifying as I became unable to perform full ranges of motion. I gave birth to a very healthy, happy, and active baby girl and my body recovered 6 weeks after natural labor. My nutrition was dialed in, and I naturally shed the excess body fat I had put on during pregnancy. I gradually began phase 1 with modifications and gradually progressed to the best shape of my life 3 months after my daughter was born. I have continued to improve my fitness level ever since and look forward to the rest of my fitness journey”
When you start training with Nicky you become a part of a family of women that love and support each other to live healthy lifestyles.
