What is “Ready for Motherhood”?
Ready for Motherhood is a comprehensive conditioning program specifically designed for pre and post natal women. 
Did you know?
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that pregnant women, (provided there are no contraindications), adopt the same exercise habits as those recommended by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention for all Americans, e.g. accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise each day-on most, if not all days of the week. This should be done to derive the same associated health benefits during the pregnancy as prior to it.
Why do moms need this program?
- Try lifting a 40lb. stroller out of the car trunk. Load it with a 15lb. child and maneuver it through foot traffic, in and out of stores, up and down stairs, in and out of cars, buses or subways, etc….. Being a mother is very physically demanding! They need and deserves the same careful attention as any other athlete.
