Pilates works the perfect muscle groups for labor and post-natal health, especially if you pair it with your Kegels.I used to be certified to teach Pilates, and have learned Stott is known for staying mostly true to the technique Joseph Pilates intended.Some of the other more popular Pilates DVDs do not take the time to teach correct fundamentals, which are CRITICAL to receiving the full benefits of the exercises.I recommend this DVD over several others, especially for those not certified in a fitness/athletics field.The program in this video also adheres to my OB's guidelines such as never lying on my back, and always using the correct muscles to support my abdomen in certain positions.I started doing this video at about 28 weeks after being only moderately active my whole second trimester, and I'm doing fine with it.I don't do it every day, but I could with no issues.
When you try Pilates, take it slowly.Even though you may not feel it immediately, you will work your muscles MORE this way.This video allows you to do just that.
