From renowned Pilates instructor and owner of reform Pilates Niece Pecenka comes this inspiring, effective pregnancy workout. The Pilates-based routine is simple to follow, yet challenging enough for those who want to continue to work out efficiently and effectively throughout the three trimesters of pregnancy.
Pilates requires you to move consciously -- using the breath to revitalize and energize -- something you will need to depend on during and after childbirth.
Every movement in Pilates emanates from the "center" - helping you focus on those muscles necessary for labor and delivery.
This routine is comprised of two distinct sections to make the most of your time. Section I focuses on Abdominal and Breath work, while Section II includes a side leg series and lower body work. They can be combined for a longer workout depending upon your time and energy level.
"As a mother of three, I know first-hand what it means to be short on time. I was inspired during my third pregnancy to create a Pilates-based routine adapted specifically for busy women in all trimesters who want to be fit, healthy, and fabulous!"
