Hi, I'm Katie Mann with Club Pilates Studio and I'm going to demonstrate a little bit
of side planking for your obliques for throughout your pregnancy. When the belly starts to grow
and the baby grows and pushes off, it separates your *** abdominis, and so obliques are
really really really crucial for your core stability.
We'll place our hand on the foot bar, we're going to come up on to our knees for safety
and press that carriage away to a side star, reaching that arm long. Taking that nice deep
breath, we can either isometrically hold this side kneeling plank or we can add a little bit of movement
which adds some scapular stability. To add a little bit more variation, we can lift that
knee up and lengthen out, and slowly coming in, making sure we don't sink into our bottom
knee and bottom hip. Side planking is really good for your core stability, for your side
hip stability, and for your scapular stability, which are all really important for throughout
your pregnancy.
