Your belly might be huge, but that doesn't mean there aren't muscles hiding under there. Keep things toned with this simple core-strengthening exercise. You'll thank us in a few months when you go to try on your "skinny jeans" (or any jeans without a stretchy waist band!).
- You
- A Mat
- Comfy clothing
Start on hands and knees.
Keep your back straight, extend one arm forward and the opposite leg back.
Pause.
Return and repeat on the other side.
Do 2-3 sets of 15 repetitions, resting for 30-45 seconds between sets.
- In the starting position, keep hands directly under shoulders.
- Don't twist to either side as you move.
- Challenge: Touch elbow and knee underneath in the middle of each repetition.
- Chat with other expectant parents on our pregnancy boards.
