The report,  Safety and Efficacy of Supervised Strength Training Adopted in Pregnancy observed 32 pregnant women undertaking strength training twice a week for three months.

The results show that no injuries occurred while potentially adverse symptoms (such as dizziness) were very infrequent – taking place only during 2.1 per cent of all sessions.

The benefits were recorded and produced significant results – the percentage increases in external load from weeks 1 to 12 were 36 percent for leg press, 39 per cent for leg curl, 39 per cent for lat pull down, 41 per cent for lumbar extension and 56 per cent for leg extension.

Blood pressure was unchanged following acute exercise sessions and after 12 weeks of exercise training.  The researches concluded: “The adoption of a supervised, low-to-moderate intensity strength training program during pregnancy can be safe and efficacious for pregnant women.”

The study was published in the current issue of Journal of Physical Activity and Health (volume 8, Issue 3, March 2011). For a synopsis click here. or for more information visit exercise professionals

In fact there are many advantages to inflating yours before you feel that first twinge – because these balls are one of the best things around for exercising during pregnancy, and also for getting your figure and strength back after the birth. Why are they so good? Because when you exercise on the ball, you have what we call an ‘unstable base’ – and it’s totally different to exercising on the floor or a bench, both of which are firm and stable. The instability of the ball makes your body, and your core muscles in particular, work harder to keep you balanced. In time these muscles will become stronger, resulting in fewer injuries and less back pain. Also, during pregnancy your centre of gravity is shifting on a daily basis so that improvement in balance becomes very important.

The Miracle Box for mums and mums to be give you all the know how on proper effective usage for exercising not just during pregnancy but also after to get your self back into shape.
