Hello all mom's-2-be...how are y'all feeling? Hopefully fantastic! In my previous post, I described an exercise that creates strength and stability thru the hips, hamstrings, and the all important butt:) As your pregnancy progresses, this is going to be of upmost importance. When your frontside continues to grow, you want to ensure that you are doing exercises to create balance. Hips will begin to shift forward (anterior pelvic rotation) and this could lead to low back pain. This exercise can be used in any stage of pregnancy. The Firehydrant (it is an oldie but goodie)....
Make sure when you do this exercise that your core is tight and you are not leaning to one side. Keep knee bent at 90-degrees and slowly raise it to the side (caution-get your leg up to YOUR maximal height...do not try to get it further than YOUR range of motion). Lower the leg and repeat. Generally speaking, do 3 sets of 10-12 reps with each leg. This is an excellent corrective movement to do in order to have a fit pregnancy!
Until next time.....
