LA PALMA

Intercommunity Hospital will offer exercise classes to help prepare expectant mothers for the rigors of childbirth at the Recreation and Community Center, 7821 Walker St.

Beginning Thursday and continuing through April 20, a licensed physical therapist will provide an exercise program to help pregnant women maintain muscle tone and flexibility, while at the same time develop good posture and proper body mechanics. Cardiovascular and aerobic exercises will also be a part of the program.

Those wanting to take part in the classes must get consent from their doctor.
