Prenatal Exercise:
(Difficulty: 1; Class Limit: 7) In 2002, the American College

past ten years: Moderate activity during pregnancy has positive
health outcomes for the mother and baby, and has no negative
outcomes in a normal pregnancy. Whether you’re a regular exerciser
who wants to stay fit or newly committed to exercise for your
health and your baby’s, this class will effectively and safely
