Exercise during the pre- and postnatal periods offers numerous physical and mental health benefits for both mother and baby. Prenatal exercise can help improve posture, reduce common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain and swelling, boost energy levels, and support healthy weight gain. It also prepares the body for labor by strengthening key muscle groups and improving endurance. Postnatal exercise plays a vital role in recovery by rebuilding core strength, improving mood, enhancing energy, and aiding in weight management. Regular activity during both stages can reduce the risk of gestational diabetes, improve sleep quality, and support overall emotional well-being. With proper guidance, staying active before and after childbirth helps mothers feel stronger, more confident, and better equipped for the physical demands of motherhood.

Postpartum exercise has numerous benefits for new mothers. Firstly, it helps to improve physical health by aiding in weight loss, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and strengthening muscles that may have become weakened during pregnancy and childbirth. Exercise also helps to increase energy levels, which can be especially important for new mothers who are often sleep-deprived and exhausted. Moreover, regular exercise has been linked to improved mood, reduced stress, and decreased symptoms of postpartum depression. This can help new mothers cope with the emotional and physical demands of caring for a newborn, and improve overall quality of life.
