FAQS:
What is TBC?
Total Body Conditioning is a low-impact aerobics class designed to
help improve mom's stamina for labor and her impending job as a mother.
We incorporate resistance training (because those babies don't get
smaller once they come out!), abdominal and pelvic floor exercises,
and relaxation exercises, as well as practice pushing techniques for
the main event.
Why is this class
different from any other low-impact aerobics class?
We take into consideration all the changes going on in a woman's body
during this special time and modify accordingly. We also have a whole
class of pregnant women working out together; which means you can
be assured that the instructor is giving you the modifications you
need and NOT singling you out from the rest of the class.
I really like
to work out hard. Can I still do this?
Labor is hard work. We want our moms to be prepared. However, there
are some general guidelines to keep you and your baby safe. Instead
for using heart rate as a guide, we use your rate of perceived exertion,
or the talk test. As long as you can talk, you are doing fine.
I haven't been
exercising. Can I start now?
Now is a great time to start. If you stick with it, you may actually
notice that you are in better condition after your baby arrives than
before you got pregnant! Modifications are always given in class -
it is all about what you put into it!
Is everyone "due"
at the same time?
No. Our moms start whenever they feel like it during their pregnancies.
You will be in class with women that are first timers, some that have
had more than one pregnancy, women that are about to give birth within
weeks, to, occasionally, women just trying to get pregnant! It is
a safe environment to ask questions and get support from all these
moms that have either "been there" or "done that!"
What do I wear
to class?
Shorts and a t-shirt are fine during warm weather. In colder months,
you may wish to layer your clothing so that you can shed clothes as
you begin to warm up in class. The key is to stay well ventilated.
We ask that you wear a good, supportive sports bra. If you don't have
one, you may double-up on your bras, but leave the underwires at home.
(Ouch!) Aerobic or cross-training shoes are best. No sandals or flip-flops.
What should I
bring to class?
Please bring with you a water bottle, mat, pillow, and blanket.
Should I eat
before class?
We ask that you eat a light meal, or snack, about an hour, or two,
before the start of class.
Can I just show
up for class when I’m ready to start?
No, you must first contact Healthy Moms® to schedule your orientation and confirm written consent from your OB or midwife. For Raleigh/Cary classes call 781-MOMS or email info. For Durham/Chapel Hill classes call 489-MOMS or email kathryn.
Do I need written
consent from my OB or midwife to participate in your programs?
Yes, for most moms. If you are less than three months postpartum and
new to Healthy Moms®, you must obtain written consent from your
doctor or midwife. If you need assistance obtaining your consent,
please contact the Healthy Moms® office—we’re happy
to help.
