This post is part of our Lagree FAQ series where we address the most commonly googled questions about Lagree Method. It is tempting to demand direct answers to complex questions.

Prenatal / Postnatal Exercise Classes: Lagree Method during and after Pregnancy
The Lagree Method aims to improve cardio health, muscular endurance & strength, core strength, balance, and flexibility. Rather than using heavy weights to create resistance, Lagree focuses on time-under-tension using spring-based resistance on the Megaformer. Lagree also uses slow, controlled movements, which reduces the risk of trauma and contact during your workout.
The low-impact actions, paired with high-intensity results, make the Lagree method a game-changer when it comes to pre and postnatal exercise. Clients can practice safely and comfortably on a megaformer while working toward their fitness goals.
