Tip: Strengthen your knees to decrease risk of knee injury when constantly getting up & down from the floor with your little ones(s) or soon to be little ones.
Soon you’ll be spending lots of time picking your baby up from the floor & eventually lots of toys!
This a great exercise during pregnancy as well as after. If you have weak knees be sure to modify & shorten your range of motion &/or don’t lift your heels from the ground.
**Always check with your Doctor before beginning any exercise program**
