One of my clients recently became pregnant. Do any of you have any experience training pregnant women and do you have any suggestions, warnings or know of any other sources of reliable information concerning this? Thanks
First thing: find out what her ObGYN has said - or consult with her ObGYN yourself. Gosh, I have a book on home about weight training for pregnant women. It was pretty basic and straightforward. I’ll go home (at work right now), look for it and post something about it.
Oh, yeah, there are books out there on this specific issue, I suggest you read up!
Find the ACOG guidelines for training during pregnancy, as these are the highest-rated medical standards on this topic. For the record, your liability in training a pregnant client is absolutely, unbelievably high. Be wary.
