DOM VON PANNIER –
For me choosing to do the Exercise and Pregnancy course was to gain true knowledge on the grey areas surrounding the topic, especially training.
So often I hear mixed opinions- don’t train when you are pregnant, this is dangerous or you see ladies running 10kms multiple times a week, doing CrossFit, lifting weights, still doing all types of training. The course gave me reassurance that yes there are limitations but you do not have to stop training, you are not entirely limited to a point where you can’t work hard and still stay in shape. It’s all about feel and monitoring your Heart rate and body, don’t panic or lose hope!!
I highly recommend FitPro, their courses are detailed and all questions are answered with factual knowledge. I always gain from it, be it a refresher or something completely new to implement with training for my clients. Thank you team for assisting in expanding my knowledge and my career as a PT and Gym Owner.
