ABOUT

Following the guidance of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, P3T was designed to assist the pregnant soldier in maintaining fitness levels during pregnancy and postpartum, by providing the soldier with education and instructional materials to perform safe, standardized, physical training. Exercising regularly throughout these periods can reduce impact of pregnancy on your fitness level and help maintain readiness for duty.
