Pilates is one of the safest and most effective forms of exercise you could wish to do before, during and after pregnancy. It specifically works all the parts of the body that are affected as you get bigger (eg the tummy and the pelvic floor). It will help to protect your back and can also prepare you for a faster, smoother delivery. And, if you choose to do Pilates throughout your whole pregnancy you can bet your recovery will be quicker than you could ever have imagined. This is one DVD in a series of four where the workout is tailored specifically to each trimester of your pregnancy. Tasha, your instructor is also pregnant, so knows exactly what you're going through at each stage.
