Pregnancy exercises

Supported v-sits

You can do several core exercises with a balance trainer that has a flat base, as pictured below. Start with a supported v-sit.

Sit on the floor, with your back leaning against the trainer. Put your feet flat on the floor and your arms straight in front of you. Lift your right foot off the floor, until your right leg is parallel with the floor. Hold for several seconds. Then go back to the starting position. Gradually work up to 10 repetitions. Repeat with your left leg.
