Let us know how you like this workout in the comments! ❤️
An actual Pilates. Most of the prenatal Pilates video in youtube...are not near what pilates needs to be. But this here....yes guuuuurl.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this workout! I wish you had more prenatal workout videos, it gets so hard to find good ones out there!
A favourite go-to during pregnancy. Currently 21 weeks pregnant with our second in Cambridge England. Thanks Robin.
LOVED this. I love how gentle and real you are. I wish your pregnancy workouts were longer though!
We're so glad that you enjoyed this workout! We appreciate you sharing your feedback too! We would love to invite you to give Lindywell a try with a 14-day free trial, where you can find more prenatal workouts. You can get started here: hubs.la/Q01gZDhV0
Robin...or the only pilates instructor that makes me want to get on my mat every morning! 😃
Way to take care of yourself, Alisha! ❤️ 👏
An absolutely incredible workout! Thank you for creating this series. Such a beautiful and empowering set of exercises!
So glad you enjoyed it, Jen! Congratulations on your pregnancy! :)
Thank you for all the videos your prenatal pilates series, they are inspiring, concise, easy to follow and have a good length! I think this is just what I have been looking for to help me train and maintain a strong body thoughout my pregnancy!
So happy to hear that! Congratulations! :)
Thank you, Robin, for making these videos. They've been my little push to continue practising Pilates during my pregnancy. You're by far the person I'm meeting up with the most during this period 🙂 Thank you! Jo
That's so lovely to hear, Jo! Congratulations on your pregnancy - what a gift! 🎉 We are cheering you on during this exciting season and beyond - you are worth it. 💗
@@wearelindywell 😊 thank you! All the best to you and your little munchkin(s) too!
Robin,
I think overall, you are doing a great job posting these exercise mini-workouts...I think this is a nice resource for people for many healthy women. I would maybe be a bit cautious on stating that the workout is effective for all 3 trimesters because this is really variable. Doing long lever leg exercises is usually something I don't recommend for my Pilates students who are in the 3rd trimester (and for some, in the 2nd trimester)...I'm talking about the double leg open chain exercise at 9:48...especially if someone may have a diastasis recti or for someone who perhaps is very big and has heavy legs (and poor flexibility). I do love that you are doing the "supine" exercises on your forearms as this is a safe position for all 3 trimesters and good for building some scapular stability. Keep it up and feel free to connect with me.
Do you have any prenatal Pilates videos on your channel too? I was looking but have been working on the computer all day and couldn't focus on all of the titles
Thanks for this workout. It was just what I needed.
this is my favorite pilates so far. i love the feeling that im actually working my muscles. thank you so much!
Way to go, Courtney!
Loved this workout . Thanks robin ❤️
Thank you!
This was really good, thank you!
Thanks for these workout videos, I really enjoy them! I also enjoy your personality and encouraging attitude. :)
First prenatal workout, glad I have good stuff to do at home to help me feel better ^_^
Are these suitable for postnatal exercises too? I followed them when I was pregnant and loved them. I've used your postnatal exercises so far, but I'm just looking for some slight variety again. Thanks!
Hi Jennifer. Yes! Once you are cleared for exercise by your medical provider, feel free to do this workout, modifying as necessary. Enjoy!
Hi Robin! I’ve done this playlist every pregnancy so far!! I was hoping to find your prenatal course - does that still exist for sale?
Congratulations on your little one on the way! :) While the Prenatal Pilates program is no longer available, we would love to invite you to give Lindywell a try with a free, 14 day trial, where you can filter your workouts for "prenatal friendly" workouts. You can get started today, here: hubs.la/Q01gZDhV0
Perfect for 1st and 2nd trimester, 3rd trimester not so much. Thanks anyway.
Please feel free to modify as you see fit! Hope you can check it out. :)
Thanks for sharing! Very helpful content. :)
Really enjoyed this! If I can't do side planks (even modified), because I'm not strong enough, how can I modify?
Hi there! You can certainly do another exercise in its place, such as a front plank on your knees or another exercise of choice. As you continue with Pilates, know that you will continue to build strength and make progress. Keep up the great work!
I wish you had more prenatal videos! especially with the reformer machine! its your most viewed video too ;)
There will be more coming soon!
My neck hurts, anything you can recommend to lessen the neck strain?
I'm sorry to hear about your pain, Natalie! Feel free to keep your head down on the mat whenever you feel straining. :) You'll still get a great workout!
Hello. I enjoyed this workout today. However, I’m 35 weeks pregnant, and it hurt under my bump when I was on my elbows and my legs in table top. Is there another modification I could do or should I just skip that part? Thank you.
Hi Stephanie, it's great to hear you enjoyed this workout - way to go! It's difficult to say exactly without seeing you, but if it is causing you pain, you might want to skip that portion (or substitute with another exercise that does feel good for you). 🙂
I really like the leg work from table top, but I’m finding that my neck strains and I don’t know if I’m holding myself wrong somehow. Also, is this safe for diastasis recti? I’m pretty certain I have that and when I look down at it, it’s shaping into a little pyramid over my belly button- is that ok or bad??
You can fold a small towel and place it under your neck for support. Just make sure to remove it if you lift your hips off of the mat. :) And if you're feeling like there is too much strain on your ab muscles then I would modify to keep your feet flat on the floor or resting on a chair/couch. That should help!
Everything in this activated my diastasis recti. Didn't feel safe for late third trimester
So sorry to hear this, Briana! This workout is not specifically for those with DR, and I am glad you listened to your body to know what doesn't work for you. I do have some blog posts and workouts aimed at those who have DR here: thebalancedlifeonline.com/category/diastasis-recti/
Good
Is doing full plank safe during pregnancy?
I always encourage checking with your medical provider to see at what point you need to modify for your body and pregnancy. After that point, you can do a hover plank. Congratulations! :)
@@wearelindywell thanks alot for responding 😊
Love all of your workouts and now that I'm pregnant, I'm loving the prenatal series as well. Thank you!
