Dear Fitness Expert,
I do kickboxing and have done so off and on for approximately 9 years. I stopped during my first pregnancy which resulted in a cesarean 4 years ago.
I am now 11 weeks pregnant and continue to kickbox on a one-to-one basis at a lower intensity.
My concern is as I get into my pregnancy and continue to engage in kickboxing how it will impinge on my existing c-section scar and what precautions I would need to take?
During the final phase of pregnancy, your changing size and shape may make everyday living activities more difficult. In addition, the changes that have occurred in your body as a result of hormones place you at higher risk of injury.
There are many benefits to be gained by exercising and participating in sports while you are pregnant. As in any period of your life, these activities make you feel better and can help you maintain or gain physical flexibility, tone, and strength.
