Hi I'm Katie Mann with Club Pilates Studios, I own Club Pilates North Park and Club Pilates
Mission Gorge. And today we're here with Andrea to talk about Pilates and Pregnancy. One of
the greatest things that you can do throughout your pregnancy is Pilates to strengthen the
joints but also keep everything long and lean.
We're going to do some supine arm work modifications today by using the Thera-Band and the BOSU.
She's going to reach her arms up straight up to the sky, once those arms are nice and
long and on her exhale breath she's going to press those arms long by her sides. Using
that resistance on the way up to slowly work underneath those arms, pressing down long
through those underneath the armpits. Using that inhale to resist those springs up and
then as you exhale pressing down through the lats and through the seratus in her upper
mid-back.
Let's take that out into a big T now as you inhale on out and then exhale as she presses
back down and away. So different angles are going to work different parts of the upper
arm and body. For three, good now lets combine those into a big arm circle. Inhale and then
exhale to press down and through.
