Pregnancy Workout Video: Lower Body Stretches For Pregnancy
This is a great stretch routine you can use in conjunction with your pregnancy exercise routine or on it’s own as part of the relaxation element of your pregnancy fitness program.
Don’t forget that you need to do a brief 5 minutes warm-up if you’re using this on it’s own as stretching cold muscles is dangerous and can lead to injury.
As with all pregnancy stretches, please go CAREFUL! Stretch only to the point of mild discomfort. This is because the hormones relaxin and progesterone make ligaments and muscles much more lax than normal, so it is easy to overstretch and not realise until it’s too late!
Hold each stretch for 30 secs and repeat the stretch 3 times before moving onto the other side or the next stretch.
