Pilates During Pregnancy

Hi I'm Lisa. Today I'd like to talk to you about the Pilates During Pregnancy DVD, by Reform Pilates.

We love this DVD because it is a great way to get in shape and prepare you for labor and delivery at the same time. It is full of fun and comfortable routines that you'll enjoy using again and again.

The inspiring Pilates routines on this DVD are led by professional Pilates instructor Niece Pecenka.

You can participate in these routines throughout your entire pregnancy. The moves are OBGYN endorsed and follow the guidelines by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Pilates requires you to move consciously using the breath to revitalize and energize. Something you will need to depend on during labor and after childbirth. Every movement in Pilates emanates from the center or core helping you focus on the muscles necessary for labor and delivery.

The routines were specifically created for pregnant women both to get them in shape and to help them prepare for childbirth. These routines are comprised of two distinct sections to make the most of your time.

In section one it contains abdominal and breathe work for about 15 minutes. In section two it has exercises for side leg series and lower back work, lasting about 30 minutes. Sections one and two can be combined for a longer workout depending on your time and energy level.

To use this DVD you will need a yoga mat or a minimum of three blankets folded and stacked.

Many pregnant women aren't sure if they can work out or what they should do. So instead they don't get any exercise. The routines in this video aren't difficult and they are fun to do. Making this an easy choice for your fitness routine while you're pregnant.

Please keep in mind that before you start any exercise routine, we recommend that you consult your health care provider.

And the best part is that the breathing exercises and the concentrated muscle movements will help you have an easier labor.

Keeping in shape throughout your pregnancy will help you bounce back into shape faster and easier after childbirth.

If you have any question, please don't hesitate to contact us, we'd love to help you.
