    Product description

    Synopsis
    Exercises in THE PILATES PREGNANCY are designed to make the time before, during, and after pregnancy easier and more comfortable. One of the primary advantages to Pilates is a strong abdomen and stomach area, resulting in benefits such as increased blood flow to the growing fetus, easier delivery, and fast recovery time. The book is divided into exercises that vary with each trimester, to respond to changes in a woman's body during pregnancy.

    Publisher's Note
    A wonderful conditioning exercise for women of all shapes and sizes, Pilates is now recognized as one of the best overall exercises for the pregnant body as well. A low-impact and relaxing exercise regimen, Pilates doesn't divert blood flow from the growing fetus. As important, Pilates strengthens the abdominal muscles known as the "powerhouse," making it easier for new mothers to recover from childbirth and regain their pre-pregnancy waistline.Working with Dr. Uzzi Reiss, a prominent Los Angeles-based gynecologist and obstetrician, Mari Winsor has developed the first mat-based Pilates routine for pregnant women, bringing this time-efficient and highly effective means to get and stay in shape into the home. Illustrated with 100 black-and-white photographs, the exercises in The Pilates Pregnancy are gentle on the body and easy to do at any stage of pregnancy.


    Contains three workout programs designed to maintain muscle strength, increase flexiblity, and recover from childbirth using the Pilates method.

    Great Pilates Book for Pregnant Women!

    The Pilates Pregnancy book is wonderful! I am so thankful for it! I am a retired ballet dancer & also do pilates. When I got pregnant, I knew I could continue doing ballet, but I thought that I could not do most of the pilates excerises for some reason. So I began feeling extremely tight because I stopped doing pilates in between my ballet classes. This book saved me! It shows you what you can do in each trimester, & there are a ton of excercises! I knew how to do a majority of the excercises already, but if you don't, the descriptions & pictures that go along with them are very clear & easy to understand. The few I did not know how to do, I was able to pick up quickly because they explained them so well. Excerising during pregnancy really helps a lot (& also helps with delivery), so I would recommend this book to anyone who's looking for ways to stay in shape while pregnant! Pilates stretches your muscles easily, while continuing to build strength. It is a very low-impact excercise routine that leaves you feeling relaxed, strengthened & rejuvinated! An excellent buy!
