Finally! A truly safe and targeted antenatal exercise video. I'm a physiotherapist and 15 weeks pregnant; I've been scouring the internet to find appropriate resources. This routine is low impact, beautifully instructed and a delight to do! THANK YOU
You should get the Prenatal Pilates book, it isn’t as flashy as UA-cam videos but contains not only the same (and more!) exercises but also explains why they are chosen
i'm just over 4 months pregnant and have been dealing with hyperemisis and have not been able to workout at all. I just did this as my first workout and LOVED it! gentle yet challenging. thank you for sharing this
I loved it apart from the commercials, not sure why i have them in the middle of the exercises, a bit annoying though. But the exercise is great. Any video targeted batwings or arms?
Hey! The ads are what keep the channel going but shouldn’t last too long! This is for general fitness and strength during pregnancy so doesn’t target the upper arms specifically 😊
@freshlycentered I'm loving these video throughout my pregnancy, they are seriously so helpful and enjoyable. I was wondering if you could advise how I create the small space under my waist when lying on my side. I don't seem to ever have a small gap underneath my waist no matter what way I try to ly. Could you make a small insta or youtube tutorial on how you do that? Thanks so much.
Hi Kayleigh, thanks I'm so glad you're enjoying them! This is just a way to lengthen your waist on both sides so that you are not slumped on the underneath side. Take your top hand and draw the top hip down towards your feet. Your core should engage here too and create a tiny waist gap, only the size to fit your fingertip under, nothing bigger!
Hi, its a very pleasant workout and has become the part of my morning routine from the last one week. I am seeking your suggestions jn 2 things. In your video, you always say to exhale while going up and inhale while coming back. I always end up doing reverse in almost all exercises. Does this matter? 2nd, is it good thing to have same set of routine exercises or should we keep shuffling?
Hi Gurpreet! So glad you're enjoying it! The breathing is best done the correct way as it ensures more efficient activation of the core, and prevents holding breath and bloating stomach area. Try to inhale to prepare, then exhale on the movement/exertion! Yes you can have the same set of exercises! During pregnancy especially you don't want to mix it up with lots of different things, but some variation is also good. You could try doing the other videos too.I'll be releasing more pregnancy ones soon too so check back shortly and subscribe to the channel to be notified when!
You're welcome Irene! You don't want to cause too much stretch to the abs when pregnant! They are already getting stretched greatly by bump! The mermaid stretches in the video are nice for the sides and sitting up straight and tall should be enough!
Really enjoyed this video! There's an issue with the audio though, when the ads come on they are so loud so perhaps you could adjust the volume so the ads don't interfere so loudly 👍
Thanks Leila. The ad volume is outwith my control and set with UA-cam. However I’ve removed the ads in the video. They shouldn’t have appeared mid video but UA-cam introduced this automatically recently and I wasn’t aware. Hope it’s better next time for you!
While doing the exercise in which we go on our toes and then come back I can see a cone forming in my tummy as well in the side lying exercise it happens ,please suggest the other way to do it
Hey! Yes for the one on all fours I’d suggest extending one leg behind you instead of lifting upwards. And for side lying one move the top leg rather than both!
@@FreshlyCentered thanks for reply ,but I m talking about that exercise in which we go up on our toes and come back ,the arm extension I can do but couldn't keep core intact all the time. And any side lying I do it becomes a cone from one side
Yes I would avoid going up on toes on all fours if it is coning. I would do the alternative exercise instead I suggested by extending the legs one at a time. If it cones with all side lying exercises, check you are able to engage core first. And if it still cones try bending your knees instead of having them extended. Enjoy!

@@FreshlyCentered Sure, Thanks for your reply. I will try to work on my breathing. Looking forward to your new videos!
Great job😍💪💪
Thanks so much!
I always forget -until I’m doing it again- how Pilates seems to find the teensiest movements to torture the oddest muscles lol. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Haha! All good though!
That was a great workout, thank you!! any advice on how do I stretch the abs post workout while pregnant?

I’ve sorted the ads!
This workout is GREAT, but the audio was a bit quiet.
Thanks so much! Next time try turning it up full on your device and that should work!
@@FreshlyCentered I had it on full volume, both video and my device

so many ads in the middle, makes it so hard to continue as you have to get out of the position to continue the video
I’ve sorted the ads!
Good workout but it’s weird having a voiceover and no music, just abit flat
No problem Katy, feel free to play your own music in the background! It keeps it clear from my end with the voice over!
