Prenatal Core Challenge
Just because you are pregnant doesn’t mean you cannot still work your core. Actually, working your core can help make your pregnancy and delivery much smoother and easier. Exercises where you either lie on your side, stand, have a pelvic tilt while lying, or sit on a ball are extremely beneficial. You should start including these exercises in every workout you do from here on out. These specific exercises will help you strengthen your pelvis and back while challenging your core and balance.
Some benefits from working your core and keeping your spine in a neutral position (never flat on the floor, but angled on pillows):
- Prevents muscle imbalance
- Supports and protects the spine
- Helps prevent back pain
- strengthens deep core muscles
- Helps maintain good posture
- Promotes efficient movement
- Avoids injuries that can occur from weak core-muscles

Equipment: 1 set of weights 3 or 5 lb, mat, 1-2 king size pillows, ball (can use medicine ball, beach ball, basketball, foam ball)
