Pregnancy Pilates?

Okay... have any of you tried pilates and yoga while pregnant? Today it is raining and so I couldn't do my usual walking outside and I really wanted to get in some exercise. My joints feel SO loose and out of wack--I didn't think it would be a good idea to do weight lifting. So, I decided to do a little yoga and pilates. I don't have any dvd's especially for pregnancy so I realized that I wouldn't be able to do everything but I was determined to try. I actually surprised myself that I could actually do some poses like Pigeon. I laughed outloud while the instructor said things like, "Really scoop to create your flat belly!" Yah right! And "Let's work on that waistline." What waistline? Anyway, I feel pretty good for now but let's hope that I can move the rest of the day. I'd love to hear if any of you have tried this stuff.

T J V said...: I did some yoga, and post baby yoga too. It is really good but I would definitely recommend gettins some pregnancy specific DVD'a as there are some moves and such you shouldn't do, even if you can. I am sure you could find some cheap on eBay or something.; March 2, 2009 at 10:00 PM

Mothers,
“Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be. …Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones….The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you…. If you strive to love God, if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do….Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: ‘Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.’ Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And ‘press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.’ You are doing God’s work.”Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She Is a Mother,” Ensign, May 1997
