Core training in pregnancy goes far beyond traditional “ab” work.�
A well-programmed core approach can help support your body as it changes - providing stability, strength, and control for everyday movement.�
When we train the core during pregnancy, we’re not just lying on our backs doing crunches (although sometimes we might). We’re working in different positions and directions, using breath, resistance, and control to build strength that actually carries over into daily life lifting, carrying, getting up and down, and moving with confidence.�
This kind of training can help:�• support the spine and pelvis�• reduce common niggles like back discomfort�• maintain mobility and energy levels�• build confidence in movement as your body changes�
And importantly, it sets a strong foundation for postpartum recovery.�
Pregnancy isn’t the time to stop training your core.�It’s the time to train it appropriately.�
If you’re unsure where to start, come and join my prenatal Pilates class in Freshwater at every Thursday at 8am (link in bio), or reach out for 1:1 coaching and support. I’m here and would love to help 🤍
