Pilates and Posture

Pregnancy poses common posture and balance problems for moms-to-be. The pelvis tilts forward, the hips tighten, weight shifts to the balls of the feet and calf muscles clench. The lower back is sometimes stretched out of alignment, and the head can slope forward, which causes neck tension. No wonder mamas-in-waiting benefit from exercise that alleviates some of these discomforts.

Jennifer Gianni's Fusion Pilates for Pregnancy is the first Pilates-based program that provides a challenging workout that's safe for pregnant women. Infused with yoga, this workout includes modifications for each trimester, making it appropriate for pregnant women of all sizes and fitness levels. The workout follows all guidelines from The American College of Obstetrics and Gyenecology, yet is designed to help pregnant women strengthen their pelvic muscles and relieve the tension and stress a growing baby puts on the body. The hour-long workout includes safety precautions, pelvic floor work and 25 exercises. Prices start at $20 for the DVD, which is available at FusionPilates.com. -- JN
