EXERCISE AT HOME

New mothers
get in shape

IF YOU’RE a mother-to-be or a
new mother and you prefer to ex-
ercise at home, Fitness Dynamics
will come to you.

A pre-natal and post-natal
outreach program has been orga-
nized by the fitness organization.

Instructor Joanne Kates said the
outreach program will enable
mothers or mothers-to-be to have
their own personal exercise pro-
gram set up in the comfort of their
own home.

She said some women prefer to
exercise alone: some feel uncom-
fortable in a group setting, are un-
able to coordinate their work
schedules or cannot get babysit-
ting.

She said the advantages of a
specialized program are it can
change from month to month as
needs change; it can deal with
specific physical problems, such as
back pain; and it can be paced to
suit the woman’s lifestyle. For ex

ample if she prefers to swim, an
aquatic section can be incor-
porated in the program.

“For most people the years of
pregnancy and parenting are quite
overwhelming. Especially for first-
time parents,”’ said Kates.

“This kind of support system
throughout one’s pregnancy and
for the initial post partum stages is
vital. There is no reason why
anyone should feel anything but
great — with the exception of the
nausia — throughout their nine
months of pregnancy.”’

She added the postpartum
period is when many women
commonly suffer from depression.
She said exercise can be a tremen-
dous benefit.

The cost for the program is $22.

The regular pre- and post-natal
group programs are still continuing
at Highlands United Church and at
St. Andrews Presbyterian Church.
