A wonderful conditioning exercise for women of all shapes and
sizes, Pilates is now recognized as one of the best overall
exercises for the pregnant body as well. A low-impact and relaxing
exercise regimen, Pilates doesn't divert blood flow from the
growing fetus. As important, Pilates strengthens the abdominal
muscles known as the "powerhouse," making it easier for new mothers
to recover from childbirth and regain their pre-pregnancy
waistline.Working with Dr. Uzzi Reiss, a prominent Los
Angeles-based gynecologist and obstetrician, Mari Winsor has
developed the first mat-based Pilates routine for pregnant women,
bringing this time-efficient and highly effective means to get and
stay in shape into the home. Illustrated with 100 black-and-white
photographs, the exercises in The Pilates Pregnancy are gentle on
the body and easy to do at any stage of pregnancy.
