If
you live in Philadelphia and are pregnant or thinking about getting
pregnant in the near future, you may want to check out Fit4Baby. The
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) say that
exercise is just as important during pregnancy as any other time of
life. Fit4Baby is a prenatal fitness program that focuses on pregnant
moms and works to safely prepare and strengthen the body for all the
changes it will go through during pregnancy. There are other Fit4Mom
classes that include dads, nannies, and other family members (see fit4mom.com for more details).
Fit4Baby
classes are an hour long and include strength training, cardio,
balancing and stretching exercises. They take place in the evening and
are good for any stage of pregnancy, so even if you work during the day,
you can still make the class in the evening.
Classes in November will be held on Thursdays, Nov. 7, 14, and 21 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Church at 2125 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103. For more info call 610.731, 6525.
