Prenatal Pilates….. Although the exercises are important, don’t neglect to stretch as part of your potential routine. As the body changes through the pregnancy, areas of laxity and tightness will change depending on the body’s positioning and stresses. So make sure to release all those tight areas affected to keep the body in good form and help reduce pain.

Challenging the body while pregnant will strengthen and prepare you for the delivery and postnatal experiences!

Prenatal Pilates…. Working the upper body while using the posterior chain to balance the resistance…and standing on the toes for an added “burn” to the lower extremities. A full body workout to help stay in shape thru the pregnancy.

Prenatal at the Desk

As many of us know, it is very important to sit properly at the desk to reduce the strain on the back. So, how much more imperative it is for someone who is pregnant. As the months progress, the additional weight and hormonal changes can cause an increase and weakness in the lower back curves. So sitting with good support is very necessary to help reduce the strain and maintain the proper curve in the lower back.
Figure 1: Sitting with poor posture, where the back is rounding and putting extra pressure on the back.
Figure2: Sitting more ergonomically correct, where the spine is aligned, thus reducing pressure on the back.
Figure 3: Sitting more ergonomically correct on exercise ball. Sitting on the exercise ball makes one engage the core muscles to sit correctly, thus helping to build/maintain muscle movement while sitting.

Prenatal pilates…..strengthening of the legs helps with having a smooth delivery!!! Work those inner and outer thigh muscles!

Keeping flexible is important during the pregnancy, as well as preparing for the new tasks after giving birth. Controlled stretching can accomplish this, and feels good too!

Prenatal pilates….upper body workout on exercise ball. To create more of a challenge and to work the core, balancing on the exercise ball helps incorporate the core muscles while performing exercises for the upper body and arm strengthening.

Happy National Wear Red Day for women’s heart health awareness!!!

Prenatal pilates…spinal, pelvic and hip stabilization. Utilizing unilateral leg extension helps with balance and stability. Extension of the leg without raising one hip higher then the other requires control of the many muscles in the leg, hip, pelvis and spine. These muscles are needed to maintain good posture throughout pregnancy and help provide an easier delivery.

Working with the magic circle to strengthen the ADductors (outside leg muscles). Helpful in preparation for delivery.

Thoracic rotation on the reformer. Using the arms as levers to rotate the spine (not a pulling motion) to get the full rotational effect. The head should move in the direction of the body. Good for thoracic mobility.

As the pregnancy progresses, the increase in weight can cause an increased lordosis (larger arch in the lower back). This can result in lower back pain, a condition called sciatica and/or a strain to the piriformis muscle ( a muscle that rotates the hip). Stretching the lower back and piriformis muscle can help alleviate these pains. For this stretch sit on a bolster or firm pillow. Keep one leg straight and cross the other leg over it. While keeping the spine in a neutral position (not bending forward or backwards) lean forward and feel the stretch. Take it to the point where you feel resistance and hold for 10 seconds. Release and repeat 4 more times. Then repeat on the other side. Keeping flexible is the key and try to keep one step ahead of the pain!

Prenatal pilates on the springboard. It’s never too early to strengthen the upper body and arm muscles. After giving birth the new mom will be using these muscles a lot from breast feeding to carrying the new born and so much more!.
