Besides being great workouts during pregnancy they are also great for after baby! It’s a good idea after baby to start where you left off working out before delivery.

Prenatal Side Leg Press

Grab your resistance band & try this exercise to keep those thighs fit & lean.

A great exercise for everyone, even during your whole pregnancy.

**Always check with your Doctor before beginning any exercise program**

  1. Lie on your side (use a pillow if you need support under your belly)
  2. Place the resistance band securely around your foot & hang on tight
  3. Press your leg out & slightly up toward the sky
  4. For an added exercise: keep your leg pressing out straight & do little leg circles

If your not pregnant try the Double Leg Stretch

Resistance Band Exercises

Check out these great effective resistance band exercises in my article

Resistance Workout

 

This one’s my favorite:

 

For more resistance band videos go to:

Tight Bod with a Pod Fitness Tips and Healthy Bits for Moms by Moms!

All of these resistance band exercises are safe during all trimesters of pregnancy except the “Double Leg Stretch”. After your 1st trimester I’d omit the shoulder press “Lunge with shoulder press” but continuing lunges will help keep your rear in gear :-)

Fit Tip Tuesday: It’s All About Good Form

erica-108

Good Form is super important to maximize your benefits of lifting weights (or in this case doing prenatal pilates). Don’t focus on the amount of weight, focus on your form. If you can’t properly execute an exercise then the weight is too heavy!
