Third Trimester Tips for Tapping

It might be hard to believe, but you are in your final trimester of pregnancy! This means that in a few short months you will be holding your new baby in your arms.

We all know the benefits of prenatal exercise: It's good for you and your baby, makes getting into shape after giving birth that much easier, and may even make labor itself shorter and more bearable. You will also have more endurance when it comes time to push.

T-Tapp is safe for you while pregnant. And yes, it's possible to still be trimmed and toned while pregnant. We've have many others who have Tapped while pregnant. You're not going to lose sizes during the last trimester, but you'll be keeping your body and your baby in the best shape possible.

If you are just starting to T-Tapp now to improve your health during your pregnancy, you should start very slowly and be careful not to over-exert yourself. The T-Tapp MORE workout is wonderful for Pregnancy as it will help you with muscles strength, moves at a slow controlled pace and consists of 4 repetitions. Your changing hormones (more specifically, an increase in the hormone relaxin) also affect your joints, causing them to become relaxed and loose, especially in the pelvic area, knees, and elbows. This loosening makes the joints more flexible, but also more unstable, so take extra precaution to prevent injury and maintain balance. Some of the stretches may become uncomfortable for you (e.g., ankle-palm-stretch). If this is the case, omit that exercise and continue on to the next one. Continue to avoid exercises that involve lying flat on your back, because that position will decrease the blood flow to your uterus. Place a rolled up towel under your shoulders so that your head is elevated to approximately 45 degrees.

If you have T-Tapped throughout this pregnancy then continue your regular exercise program (at least 3 times per week). It is better for you to be consistent than have spurts of exercise followed by long periods of no activity. Take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water.

Listen to your body. If something hurts, if your heart rate is above 140 beats per minute, or if you cannot hold a conversation while exercising, slow down or stop. Never exercise to the point of exhaustion or breathlessness. This is a sign that you and your baby are not getting the oxygen supply you both need. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes and wear a good fitting support bra to protect your breasts.

Avoid exercising in very hot weather. During the summer, try to get your physical activity in the early morning or evening when it is cooler.

Stretching and thinning of the abdominal wall occurs, often contributing to low back pain and discomfort. Exercise helps minimize postural changes and low back pain.

Continue other exercise as appropriate, with approval from your provider.

As you near the end of your pregnancy, you might notice more swelling than you had before, especially in your ankles, fingers and face. Continue to drink lots of fluids (pure water is best) and rest when you can with your feet elevated. Take your Premium Blended Alfalfa and do Awesome Legs with a towel rolled under your shoulders.
