The Importance of Postnatal Fitness: Why Singaporean Mothers Should Prioritise Their Health

INTRODUCTION

Are you a new mom wanting to get back to being how you were before in terms of health and fitness? Then it would help if you incorporated post-natal fitness into your lifestyle. The majority of new moms experience postpartum depression which is the major reason for many health issues. Lack of rest can lead to weight gain in mothers. Regarding motherhood, personal health and fitness always take a backseat. But mothers need to prioritise their health and fitness post-pregnancy. Let’s look into the benefits of incorporating post-natal fitness for new moms.

BENEFITS OF POST-NATAL FITNESS

Recovery of Physical Strength:

Physical recovery is crucial for women post-pregnancy. This is because the woman’s body undergoes significant changes during childbirth. Thinking, what can be done to restore energy? Post-natal fitness is the only way. This will help in regaining muscle strength, especially in the core and pelvic area. Including fitness in your lifestyle as a new mom will also help in lowering your postpartum depression issues.

Boost Mental Health:

The motherhood journey differs from individual to individual. New moms often experience mixed emotions that can negatively impact health. This might lead to something called postpartum depression. Regular exercise can help in boosting your mental health by releasing a hormone called endorphins in the body.

Weight Management post-pregnancy:

One of the major issues that women face after childbirth is weight gain. The weight that a woman gains during pregnancy is normal, but if you notice weight gain after childbirth, you need to take care of your health and fitness levels. You need to start doing exercises which could greatly help in weight management. In addition to workouts, you need to also follow a healthy eating habit as this will help in losing weight gradually.

At Athleaders, along with our post-natal fitness trainers, we also provide you with clinical dietitians who will look into your medical records and customise a diet plan according to your body’s needs.

Improve confidence:

Fitness can play a very important role, especially for new moms as it develops a sense of confidence and motivation. Post-natal fitness is not just about regaining lost physical strength. It helps in much more than that. Achieving fitness goals, whether it is completing a workout session, achieving proper form in a workout, or holding on to a plank for more than a minute will foster a sense of accomplishment.

One of our clients said,

“I had a fantastic experience training with Athleaders and [my Athleaders personal trainer]. Post-pregnancy, my objective was to close my abdominal gap (DR) and in general get fit again and just feel kind of myself. The mix of targeted exercises during the session plus the self-training provided for my off days worked wonders in shrinking the gap. My core, back, and glutes are stronger than ever, and I’ve regained my pre-pregnancy body. Besides that, I loved the convenience and flexibility that [my personal trainer] came to my house with. With two kids and work it’s just a time saver if someone comes to you and you save the travel time! Can’t recommend training with Athleaders enough. Loved it!”
