Lisa has designed her pregnancy exercise program to safely and effectively help you and your growing baby through your pregnancy and beyond. It aims to keep you fit and prepare you for labour and motherhood.
The use of a fitball provides an ideal training program during pregnancy. It reduces the weight transference through the pelvis, allowing you to exercise more comfortably and safely providing low impact alternatives to more traditional exercise routines.
Your low back, pelvis and pelvic floor are all more vulnerable during pregnancy and the focus of Great Expectations is appropriate, effective exercise with extra care being given to these areas.
- safe levels of exercise

- increase core and pelvic floor strength, control and support
- learn how to alleviate pregnancy back and pelvic pain
- learn to enjoy your pregnancy and the changes in your body
