The Maternal Fitness® Workshop
The six-week Maternal Fitness® Workshop can be started
any time in your pregnancy. The earlier you start the more beneficial it will be. The goal of the workshop is to teach you:
- The changes a woman's body undergoes during pregnancy and
how to safely exercise as these occur.
- The Tupler Technique proprietary exercises to strengthen
the abdominal muscles. Strong abdominals will help minimize
back problems and promote effective pushing in labor.
- Skills required to more effectively manage the challenging
marathon of labor.
- State-of-the-art techniques for strengthening and stretching
the essential muscle groups, especially the abdominals and
pelvic floor.
The workshop includes two BAKS basics lectures (partners invited)
and four exercise sessions with light weights and dyna bands.
Workshops include a Coming Contractions pain management audio
cassette tape, dyna band and educational package. For more
