Mini Band Prenatal Pilates Workout (45 Min Class) - Resistance Band Pregnancy-Friendly Pilates

This is a total body prenatal Pilates workout using a mini band loop. Class is 45 mins.

Watch a quick preview of class here:    • Pregnancy-friendly Pilates workout wi...  

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
We start with a warm up, releasing tension in the neck and connecting to our breath. We then move into some upper body banded work targeting the shoulders and back.

From there we come to tabletop for some deep core and glute work. We finish class standing, challenging hips and balance.

I don't want to label this a second trimester Pilates class because every pregnancy is so different—you absolutely may be comfortable doing the movements in this class throughout your third trimester as well. For reference though, I am 16 weeks along in this video.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
—Resistance band loop (don't go too heavy, you want a decent range of motion!) - this is the set I use http://amzn.to/2r952Ai
—Stool/chair/counter top for balance when we come to stand

I'm so excited to share prenatal Pilates workouts with you all throughout my pregnancy! In addition to being a STOTT trained Pilates Instructor, I am a Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (certified through CES). So you're in good hands! That being said, I'm not there in the room with you to form-correct and give individual guidance. You should always consult with your doctor before partaking in a new form of movement. If anything doesn't feel right with your body or causes pain, stop. Every pregnancy is different, and your doctor's advice trumps any guidance I provide in these prenatal Pilates videos.
