Discouraged that your usual fitness classes don’t offer enough modifications for your pregnant belly? DO PILATES!
First and foremost, make sure that you join a class with an instructor certified to instruct prenatal and postnatal Pilates. You’ll benefit much more from someone who understands exactly what the body is going through and how to modify positions to avoid discomfort. You’ll see so many benefits from integrating a Pilates practice into your pre/post baby routine!
How ’bout some:
- Reduced weight gain (yes, please!)
- Relief of lower back pain (sigh!)
- Full body stretching (yum!)
- Increased muscle strength (rawr!)
And so much more. Give it a shot! Check out these articles for more information: “Strength and Core Conditioning During Pregnancy” and “Strong and Serene”
