Grab some dumbbells and give your back a workout. (Not that carrying around 20—OK, 40—extra pounds won't do the trick!)
- You
- Comfy clothing
- Sneakers
- Dumbbells:5-8 lbs weights
Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and knees slightly bent.
Raise dumbbells up the sides to shoulder level.
Pause.
Lower.
Do 2-3 sets of 15 repetitions, resting for 30-45 seconds between sets.
- Don't shrug your shoulders.
- To add variety, rotate hands so that thumbs face the ceiling.
- Chat with other expectant parents on our pregnancy boards.
