Pregnancy Exercise Helps Moms Regain Body Autonomy｜Shuangying TRX & Physical Therapist
Exercise is actually a conversation with the body. This is the concept that the physical therapists at Win Win Studio Shuangying want to share: truly listen to the body and use movement to help ease discomfort in daily life. Happiness and joy are very obvious and easy to feel, but the stress and pain brought by life or work are often deeper, harder to uncover, and sometimes not even allowed to be noticed. When mental burdens accumulate over time, the body can only tell you through fatigue, soreness, and various discomforts.
You Have Worked Hard Enough, So You Can Do It
Li Wanru, who is also a physical therapist, works with students of different ages and life stages, and also teaches regularly at postpartum care centers, helping postpartum moms with pregnancy-friendly exercise to support their recovery of physical strength. I asked Wanru whether she had ever imagined what she would be like during pregnancy. She said, “During pregnancy, I would want to take a set of maternity photos wearing very little and showing a lot,” and “As a mom, I use exercise to care for my body, and I hope I look more like their big sister.”
Use pregnancy exercise to help moms regain autonomy over their bodies. Only by understanding and taking charge of your own body can you further change and adjust it, almost like upgrading software to a new version. Every expecting mom who comes to Shuangying is working hard to feel and listen to the feedback and voice of her body. Even during pregnancy, she continues to stay connected with her original beautiful self.
TRX Can Also Be a Great Helper for Pregnancy Exercise
TRX suspension training mainly uses your own body weight as resistance. It requires muscles throughout the body to work together, making it easier to discover which muscle groups are less often used or harder to control in daily life, and then activate them. It requires strong focus from expecting moms in body and mind, using deep core muscles to coordinate one form of full-body self-controlled training.
“During pregnancy, the abdomen should not be overstrained, so we use more supportive tools to help focus on the target muscle groups and avoid excessive abdominal effort.” As a physical therapist, Wanru observes each student’s muscle activation while guiding pregnancy exercise, noticing when muscles tighten and when they stretch, helping awaken muscle groups that have been less active.
“For postpartum moms, starting TRX training one month after childbirth is the most suitable timing! Body shaping, muscle strength rebuilding, muscle extension, and flexibility goals can all be worked on together.” Confidence, elegance, and strength can gradually grow in the body. Rebuilding body strength not only helps moms move closer to their pre-pregnancy body condition, but may also help them discover a refreshed version of themselves and gain more confidence and beauty. Because you can learn to understand every inch of change in your body, draw an ideal body blueprint for yourself, and work toward the way you want to become, pregnancy exercise is indeed one way to create change for yourself. “If I have children in the future, exercise will be something I must keep doing, so I have enough energy to grow with them, go hiking, and explore the world together!” It turns out that taking maternity photos is not the most important thing. Having enough energy to grow and explore with children is also one of the reasons why more and more expecting moms do not give up training during pregnancy.
Stay Away from Pain and Discomfort — Regular Pregnancy Exercise Helps Moms Enjoy Each Day of Pregnancy
When I asked the Shuangying therapists whether they had ever considered not teaching TRX to pregnant women, since many moms become afraid to make any larger movements once they find out they are pregnant, they replied, “Pregnant women are normal people too. They are simply going through the stage of nurturing new life.” Through professional assessment and movement therapy, customized training programs can be designed for each person. Exercise can be tailored to each individual. Movement is not limited by age or life stage, especially for expecting moms. “We love seeing the confidence, happiness, satisfaction, and glow in their eyes!”
Being able to use their expertise to help more people is the motivation behind the work of Shuangying’s physical therapists. Discover the beauty of life with the people you love. As long as you are willing, even during pregnancy, you can still maintain a beautiful body condition and abundant energy. Let exercise become part of your life and a source of your confidence.
