EXERCISE FOR MOTHERS-TO-BE

DO YOU REMEMBER when, a woman became
pregnant that she would immediately curtail most
physical outlets? And for at least a week after the
delivery, the new mom would remain flat on her

back in the hospital?

ANDY FRASER

Times change — with a
vengeance. Today, it is
possible that the pregnant
mother-to-be is involved in a
comprehensive fitness class
right up to the last moment.

That’s how it was with
Joanne Kates. In _ fact,
Joanne was fitness instructor
at her classes for expectant
women and led her group
the day she went into labor.

Then, two weeks later, she
was back at it again.

that teaching fitness to
Pregnant women is
becoming more than just a
part time activity.

There’s a baby boom
going on out there and when
you couple that with the
fitness awareness, it’s hardly
surprising that expecting
women want to stay in shape
all the way through their

for expecting women when
she herself was pregnant,
now has six full classes
during the week in addition
to a fitness program on
Cable West TV — and the
boom shows no signs of
abating.

Having had her own baby
after extensive fitness work-
outs and having a doctor for
a husband allows Joanne to
speak from a position of
authority on the subject.

About her own ex-
periences, Joanne says that
during the whole of her
pregnancy she gained only
20 pounds. Her son, Justin,
extremely husky and healthy
and now several months old,
was born a few weeks early,
and had he gone full term,
Joanne feels she would have
added an extra five pounds.

For the delivery, Joanne
was in labor only six hours,
quite short for a first baby,
had no anaesthetic and only
had “four pushes” before
Justin made his appearance.

labor classes, especially for
their breathing sessions; and
says that relaxation through
