Staying active through pregnancy is a fantastic way to prepare your body for the challenges of labour. We caught up with Jessica to find out some of her tops tips.

1) Jennis Pregnancy – a Tailored Pregnancy Workout Program

The Jennis app was developed by Jessica & her team, based on her experience of training before, during & after pregnancy. The app provides 3 separate programs, tailored for general fitness, fitness during pregnancy & postnatal recovery.

It offers a range of fun workouts that are easy to follow at home, with options tailored for all abilities & fitness levels as well as every stage of pregnancy.

With Jessica guiding you through the sessions, it’s almost like having her as your own personal trainer! We think it’s the perfect fitness companion for women at every stage of their journey into motherhood.

2) A Supportive Sports Bra

Get the Look: Black Maternity & Nursing Sports Bra

“One of the most important things while you’re training during pregnancy is having the support of a good sports bra.” – Jessica Ennis-Hill

At Seraphine, all our sports bras are designed to offer the optimal level of support for pregnancy as well as easy nursing access – perfect for after baby arrives.

3) Comfortable Maternity Workout Clothes

“Having clothing that fits you well can make you feel happier when you’re training, so hopefully you feel that you can do a little bit more.” – Jessica Ennis-Hill

Like Jess, we believe that when you feel comfortable & confident in your workout clothes, you’re more likely to work harder & come away from your session feeling positive & energised!

We have a fantastic range of maternity activewear, all designed to be comfy, breathable & to grow with your changing body.

A post shared by Brit Williams (@fitbritcollective) on


“I wrote Mind, Body, Bump because it was the book I wanted to read during my pregnancy.

So many sources told me what was happening to my body and my baby, but none told me what it meant with regards to my training, nutrition or mental wellbeing.

I want women to feel as empowered as they do enlightened.” – Brit Williams @FitBritCollective

Anna’s First Trimester Workout

Exercising While Pregnant: Is it Safe?

Yes, exercising through your pregnancy is safe, healthy & 100% encouraged.

If you led an active lifestyle before becoming pregnant, you should be fine to carry on with your regular workout routine.

 

Anna’s Second Trimester Workout

Whether that’s jogging, spinning, pregnancy yoga, aerobics, Pilates, weights, swimming or something else – just be careful and don’t push too hard.

Your aim at this stage should be to maintain your current level rather than trying to reach peak fitness.

Of course, it’s best to talk it through with your doctor before beginning any new pregnancy workout routine.

Be sure to let your instructor know that you are pregnant before the start of any gym class.

And If you start to feel off at any point, just stop and take a break. Now is not the time to be testing your limits.

Whatever pregnancy workouts you choose for your nine months, make sure you’re having fun and feeling strong.

Pregnancy Yoga on the Roof: Limbering up with Voga Mama & Seraphine

Take the amazing mind and body rejuvenating benefits of a pregnancy yoga class, add a cool location, an 80’s inspired soundtrack and a dash of attitude designed to get your Serotonin levels soaring, and what do you get?

A VOGA MAMA rooftop yoga class, that’s what!

 

 

This week, we went along to the stunning rooftop terrace at Coq d’Argent in London to meet House of Voga founder Juliet Murrell and sit in on her fantastic Voga Mama class. The class combined strong empowering poses with stress relieving pregnancy yoga positions, all designed to safely prepare the body for labour. The energy was high, the poses were fierce & the ladies were looking fabulous in the Seraphine Active Kit.

 

Pregnancy yoga in the Seraphine Active Kit

 

The kit is designed to be the ultimate maternity sportswear solution – a must-have for active mums and mums-to-be and perfect for pregnancy yoga. It features a supportive maternity & nursing sports bra, tank top, maternity workout pants and a matching headband, all packed up in their own stylish drawstring gym bag. The Active Kit is designed to grow with you through pregnancy and beyond, providing easy access for nursing after baby is born.

 


Maddie, one of the stylish yoga mamas had this to say:

“I felt fantastic in my kit, it was very lightweight and stretchy & I feel like I can move around a lot. I’m very pleased and comfortable!”

 

 

Pregnancy yoga is the perfect way to de-stress and prepare your body for the challenge of labour, and with the added attitude and fun factor that Juliet brings to her classes, we can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning. Check online to sign up to her next class on 26th of March.
