Fit ball exercises for a fit pregnancy

Pregnancy workouts on a fitball

Use these pregnancy ball exercises for a complete pregnancy workout that even works your abs and core for a total fit pregnancy session!

Birth ball, fit ball, swiss ball, pregnancy exercise ball ...they are all one and the same thing!

They are however a great to improve your pregnancy fitness as they work your core without you having to do ‘sit-up’ type exercises. Anything you do on your birth ball will require you to balance and stabilise yourself using your deep abdominal muscles (or TVA –Transversus abdominis). It is important to keep your core strong to support your back and pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy and to get these muscles strong for labour (and a quick recovery post-baby!) You can do a huge variety of exercises with a fit ball (especially if you also have a set of dumbbells) to work your whole body and are prefect addition to a quick cardio session.

If you are not exercising you can still get loads of use out of your exercise ball during pregnancy and will be working your abs without even realising! Sit up straight to watch TV or at your computer, do some little bounces (great for encouraging baby later on), circle your hips on the ball in both directions or move them in a figure of eight. Also, try leaning across the ball for a nice back stretch; you can add a side to side or forward and back motion to this stretch too.

Incidentally all these moves are also excellent to use during labour!
