Don't Slip- LATERAL TRAINING For Pregnancy

Around your 4th month of pregnancy you could begin to lose your balance. Your pelvis is opening, you are using your gluts, lateral (outside) leg muscles in a different way and your baby bump is starting to show. Try this simple lateral exercise suitable for any stage of pregnancy. You can use any style resistance band- one with handles, a small closed loop or one like in the photo.

You want to tense your abdominals and stand tall, then take a step sideways keeping your foot pointing straight ahead. You want to feel a burn in the side of your upper thigh.
