Guam - For those expectant
mothers out there who are looking to stay active and healthy during their
pregnancy, Synergy Studio is offering a special program designed just for you.
the company will be offering a Baby Bump Boot Camp for expectant mothers
starting in February.
Owner Clare Calvo explains her reasons for the camp, saying,
"This is my first pregnancy. Just going through all the transitions...not
just my physical body but also mentally and emotionally. I'm a very active
person, I'm used to a very active lifestyle and of course there are certain
things that I've had to modify with my exercise and different things like my
diet...my whole lifestyle basically."
The boot camp begins on Saturday, February 4, starting off
with an introductory talk from Sagua Managu's Dr. Annie Bordallo. From there,
Calvo says, "It's going to focus a lot more on day-to-day exercise. We'll
have tread and shred, they will be on the treadmill, it's safer on a treadmill
to use the incline rather than speed for those who don't want to do a lot of
jumping and lightweights...so every day will be a different one hour fitness
class."
Fitness classes will range from yoga, barre sweat, Zumba,
and even BAM. The camp also includes pre- and post-assessments by certified
personal trainers, and advice, from a nutritionist and nurse practitioner from
the Marianas Physicians Group to assist with nutritional meal plans.
Calvo says the boot camp is not just for expectant mothers
but also for friends and family who want to be part of the support team.
"Just going through the emotional roller coaster as
well," she added. "When you exercise with the endorphins you feel
good just seeing all the change with the body, to do something like this in a
group it would be great to reach out same process I am or similar - I feel
things that you do together in a group it's cohesive... it's more motivating."
