Childbirth is called "labor" for a reason - because it's hard work! So, why do most prenatal programs reinforce a stress-minimizing training strategy when the current research says it's not only safe, but highly-advantageous (for parent and baby), to boost the intensity? Just like athletes spend months, even years, training for their big competitions, why shouldn't expectant parents prepare for their big day with comparable intensity? PROnatal Fitness (www.pronatalfitness.com) utilizes a Performance Training approach to provide those going through the parenthood journey with the most effective preparation possible and we teach fit pros how to apply it in our signature Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist Course. The goal is to develop competent and confident coaches who are armed with the tools to help their clients implement more specific and systematic preparation to childbirth so that their clients will be fit enough to enjoy pregnancy (while minimizing the aches and pains), have smoother deliveries (fewer medical interventions and shorter labors), and quicker recoveries (to devote full attention to the glorious new poop machine keeping them exhausted and elated).
