Indianapolis - A local fitness guru is going national with the help of some area moms.

"We used all different body types and I think they were really happy to do the video because they were an example," said Patrea Aeschliman.

The exercises feature five Indiana mothers. Some are stay-at-home, others are teachers, one works for the state. All are lead by Aeschliman, a personal trainer from Indianapolis.

"I don't want to do something that isn't already out there," Aeschliman said. "The world doesn't need another fitness video with the perfect-bodied person on the front."

The two-time Miss Fitness USA finalist made her first video focusing on prenatal fitness several years ago, featuring a then-pregnant Heather Smulyan at her home.

"It was a beautiful setting and people actually thought it was in Colorado," Aeschliman said. "It's so pretty. It's on Eagle Creek."

Fit Pregnancy listed that video as one of the top five prenatals on the market and consumers saw results.

"I was back doing a lot of my normal things I'd say pretty quickly three, four weeks out of pregnancy. I felt pretty good," said 38-year-old Wendy Garvin.

Distributors also took notice. "Recharge It!" is Aeschliman's second video, reaching for a broader audience. The video has three sections, each lasting 15 minutes. One is like yoga, the other is more of strength exercises and the last one is all about working your abs.

"I think it's a market that hasn't been addressed and I think it's something that a lot of women can just pick up and do and be comfortable and not be intimidated by it," Garvin said.

A private or semi-private session with Aeschliman runs $15-$75.

Through extensive collaboration with a team of physicians, nutritionists, physical therapists, personal trainers and expectant mothers, Mrs. Aeschliman carefully structured a series of 15 minute programs designed specifically to benefit pregnant women.

The Myths of Fitness During Pregnancy - The Straight Facts on the ACOG Guidelines
By Patrea Aeschliman

The American College of Obstetics and Gynecology (ACOG) guidelines are often misquoted or quoted with outdated information. In fact, two of the myths listed in this article were just printed in a current (Spring 2005), large national publication catering to expectant mothers. The latest and correct information on exercise during pregnancy needs to be widely distributed. Hopefully, this article will help to remedy some of the misinformation.

MYTH:

1. You can’t workout during pregnancy if you were not previously engaged in an exercise program prior to becoming pregnant.

ACTUAL: The 1994 ACOG Guidelines for exercise during pregnancy stated:

During pregnancy, women are permitted to continue to exercise. The current 20032 guideline is stated as, “Healthy pregnant women are encouraged to engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most, if not all, days of the week.” It is important to note that the new recommendation is the same one made to women that are not pregnant.

MYTH:

2. You must keep your HR under 140 bpm.

ACTUAL: Unless your personal physician advices against this and assuming he/she is aware of the latest 2002 ACOG Guidelines, this is not a recommendation on the current guidelines. This was actually an old recommendation from the 1985 guidelines. This number was established as a guideline. Since 1994, the recommendation has been updated to say that people are individuals with varying heart rates. Patients are advised to follow the “talk test” to determine exercise intensity. If one can comfortable speak during exercise, this intensity level is moderate.

3. MYTH: You can NEVER lie on your back after the first trimester of pregnancy.

ACTUAL: Pregnant women should avoid the supine (lying face up on your back) as much as possible. It does NOT state NEVER. Some women experience discomfort in this position. If the mother is comfortable, the baby is comfortable. You may exercise are your back but in a very limited capacity. Possibly 1-2 minutes, then roll to your side and perform a series of exercises there.

Pregnancy is a wonderful time for positive changes as it relates to one’s health. A great way to begin a fitness program during pregnancy is a solid, commitment to a walding plan. Depending upon your initial fitness level, begin walking even 10-15 minutes a day. Good luck with your program as you embark on being a fitness role model for your children. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Patrea Aeschliman:
