*An Awesome Prenatal Workout*
This is for all those lovely preggers out there that want a nice prenatal workout that is good for ALL body types. I do this workout daily (I made up) some times twice daily and I find it makes feel wonderful. Its helped with my nausea and my fatigue. I have researched all of the exercises and they are safe with all stages of pregnancy:
Warm up:
1.) Do a Couple deep breaths with arms stretched into the air.
2.) Hold each leg up by your butt one at a time.
(If further along hold onto a chair for balance)
3.) Breath in and drop your arms to the ground stretching your legs out.
Safe Ab exercises:
1.) (10 each) Sit on a mat and push legs out into the air as you lean backwards balancing your hands behind you.
2.) (10 each) In same sitting position pull knees into chest and turn them to your sides; left than right. On third time extend legs out. Pull legs back to center and repeat.
3.) (10 on each side) BALANCE BALL REQUIRED!
Stand up on your knees with the balance ball to your left side. Extend right leg fully to your right side. Place your right hand on the balance ball. Place your left hand behind your hand. Pull your body towards the balance ball. (Oblique stretch) Switch side
*3 reps of this sequence*
Back and Butt Exercises:
1.) (10 each) lunges
2.) (10 each) SMALL WEIGHTS PREFERRED!
