On Saturday 20th February over 30 Career Fitness members spent several hours with one of Australia’s leading experts in the area of exercise and pregnancy Lisa Westlake learning how to incorporates a range of exercise options to maximize health before & after pregnancy .

Lisa spent time with the group discussing possible pregnancy related conditions and identify appropriate exercise modifications, knowing when, and for whom, exercise is contraindicated, recognising when to refer for further assessment, understanding important dos and don’ts of pre and post natal exercise and developing a range of exercises for general fitness as well as pregnancy specifics such as pelvic floor, core, and posture.

The workshop was well received by all and the following feedback summarises the group’s response well. “I really enjoyed the workshop.  People being pregnant and having babies are not really my thing, but I thought I thought I should attend anyway in case I have clients that are pregnant in the future.  Lisa was an excellent presenter and made the subject matter really interesting. She ran over time and gave us the option to leave, but obviously everybody felt the same as me as everyone stayed!

The next Career Ftiness event will be Kettlebell Training and members will be taken through their paces by an Australian Kettlebell certified Trainer held at Iron Edge.
