Congratulations on your pregnancy! If you’re like all our pregnant personal training clients, (and we’re assuming you are) you’ll want:

That just proves you’re like every other mum out there. You’re excited, but have obvious concerns. You want to exercise and stay fit because you’ve heard about the benefits, but you’re scared of doing the wrong thing and hurting yourself or baby.

And you’re right to be concerned. Because of hormonal and physiological changes it’s not advisable to do any old training routine for some of the following reasons;

Over the last ten years as specialist fitness consultants we have helped hundreds of women enjoy fit and healthy pregnancies, and we can help you do the same.

And you won’t need to visit the gym or buy costly equipment. To make things even easier for you we’ll show you how you can achieve it all in the comfort of your own home, using the one piece of equipment that you’ll either already have, or will be planning to buy… Your Birthball

Exercise balls, swiss balls, stability balls, core balls, call them what you like. When you’re pregnant we call them birthballs, and you should have one for a number of reasons.

Firstly, just sitting on a ball gives you support and forces you to use good posture. This strengthens your core’ muscles and will give welcome relief to your back, especially during the later stages of pregnancy

Baby won’t like it if you sit around on the couch and will often get in the wrong position for birth. In late pregnancy a ball can be used to encourage baby to turn into the correct position, which in turn can often speed up labor. That’s the main reason all midwives recommend them.

The days of nine months rest’ during pregnancy are gone forever. We’re sure you know that statistics have long proven that mothers who exercise regularly during pregnancy experience tremendous benefits, but, just in case you’ve forgotten, here’s a reminder of a few of them:

Other great reasons to stay strong and fit are the health benefits for baby, including less bodyfat at birth (most likely leading to great health benefits later), less colic, and greater neuro-developmental scores in language and motor skills at age 5.

We’ll solve that problem for you by showing, in easy to understand terms, everything you need to do to get the most from your ball during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Even if you’ve never exercised or used a ball before it doesn’t matter. Every exercise and stretch has full color start and finish position photographs with simple step by step instructions, meaning you can start working toward a fitter, healthier pregnancy right away.

"I would always introduce the exercise ball into my sessions as it provides postural relief for the pre and post natal ladies and provides a challenging workout safely."

It’s a sad fact that thousands of new mums will buy a birthball this year, sit on it for a few minutes during labor, and then leave it to gather dust in the garage.

For a limited time only we are offering The Birthball E-Book at a special introductory price and including some great bonuses from some of our specialist fitness professional colleagues:

20 minute Movie: You’ll receive a link to the online version of our popular DVD A simple guide to Pelvic Floor and Core Exercise’.

UK midwives and Doulas are using this film to introduce their mums to Pelvic Floor Exercise.

Motivational Download: We know that during pregnancy and the postnatal period it’s not always easy to find the motivation to exercise. Changes in routine, restless babies or just feeling less than 100% are all things that can stop you before you get started. To help you, our colleague Juliet Eccleston from www.birthdownload.com has put together a unique exercise motivation download specifically to be used with this book. Juliet is a mother, Psychotherapist, and author of The Psychology of Giving Birth Programme’, available from her website.
