Morris Hospital has introduced a new Prenatal Exercise Class, available on Wednesdays from 4 to 4:45 p.m. at the Morris Hospital YMCA, located at 2200 W. Dupont Ave., Morris. The class is free and open to all, with no YMCA membership required.
The program is led by a certified pre and postnatal coach from Morris Hospital. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, regular exercise during pregnancy can help reduce back pain, ease constipation, support healthy weight gain, strengthen heart and blood vessels, and lower the risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and cesarean delivery.
Those interested in attending are asked to sign up at the YMCA front desk up to 90 minutes before class begins. Participation is limited to the first 20 registrants.
For additional details about the class, individuals may contact Becca Evola, Wellness Manager at Morris Hospital, at 815-705-7358.
