Pregnancy Stretches

Here's the scoop...

Pregnancy Recommendation: All levels, All Trimesters
​
When you're pregnant, your body gets so incredibly achy. Your hips feel tight, your back is one big knot, and your shoulders feel bound up. 

This stretching routine is just the ticket to feeling better again in all the right spots. I recommend doing this routine anytime you feel sore and tight, and especially following any of the pregnancy workouts. 
Always ease gently into all of these stretches. Remember, your tendons and ligaments are particularly tender right now, so you don't want to push it. As you're holding each stretch, breathe deeply, inhaling fully right into your belly and then exhaling long and completely. Hold each stretch for about 4 or 5 deep breaths or as long as you're comfortable. 

Always keep in mind that your goal is to not push hard through this, but to move carefully and under control, paying close attention to your body. Please read the Fit Pregnancy Guidelines to make sure you're aware of what your body can handle.
