The Mental Advantage of Strength Training:

You’ve probably noticed by now that pregnancy is not only physically demanding, but mentally demanding as well! Your body is going through so many drastic changes and along with that your hormones are crazy too! If you’ve been strength training for a while now, you probably feel much stronger and hopefully more confident as well. If you are just beginning your strength training that is what you can look forward to! The weights I have you lifting probably won’t give you a “muscled” look, but they will make you feel stronger and tougher and provide a mental edge that will be reassuring as you inch your way to “labor day”! Remember strong arms and legs will make lifting easier, especially as your abs get weaker and your belly becomes cumbersome. A strong back will help take pressure off your shoulders and hold your spine in alignment by off setting gravities pull of your belly and breasts.
