Hi, yes, the reason for not lying on your back in the 2nd and 3rd trimester is because the weight of the uterus can compress a main blood vessel, which may be aggravated more if exercising vigourously. However In my experience of teaching the classes this does not come in to play until the very end of pregnancy in which case your body will let you know and women will automatically get out of the position. I've kept this part very short and relaxing for this reason, I loved this for my back.
Hi - I've always heard that you should not lay on your back after your first trimester. Is the last segment safe for 2nd and 3rd trimester pregnancies?
This video is fantastic! Iv only done it once and my pelvic and back pain feel so nicely stretched and relieved! thank you for sharing this. :D Im gonna do this at least twice a week!
Lots of tips for post partum as currently I am on a mission to lose the 35 pounds I gained during pregnancy.. I have 5 to go at 4 months so not doing too bad. I am a great believer in mixing the cardio and the pilates for melting the fat and toning the core.
Oh my, I those side leg raises were a killer. thank you for the extremely thorough video. I really appreciated the end with the information on kegals and pushing.
This is a great video. Thank you so much! I am 15 weeks pregnant with my first baby and have been looking for something that feels like a real workout but that isn't very high impact. I also really appreciate the breathing, pushing, and pelvic floor tips. Thanks again!
So professionally taught exercises.. I really loved the way you explained each and every move.. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.. Its GREAT!!! I'd buy a Dvd if you have other workouts designed for pregnants. Please let me know if you have any such dvds, Thank you very much!!
Yes... I designed it so it's friendly for all trimesters as I have a mix in my classes, but for some exercises I will say hold longer to the 2nd trimester ladies e.g. baby plank 30 secs for 2nd and 15 secs for third
Hi Ailish I wish I was in Ireland! I have found your video on you tube and have been doing the pilates at home as laying on the sofa may not be the best health option (14 weeks!) and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this long video, it is very kind and I am finding it excellent, especially as I live so far from anywhere with classes. Clearly explained and brilliant moves - a very very big thank you.
Ideally twice a week and then the 10 minute one every other day ( the days you do the cardiovascular stuff i.e. walking/swimming/gym). I instructed three classes a week and then cross-trainer 3 times/week on the days I didn't do the classes, more swimming in the last few weeks.
