Pilates is one of the best exercises you can do during pregnancy. It is a low impact workout that focuses on lengthening and strengthening the muscles needed for the duration of pregnancy, as well as postpartum. Some of the benefits of prenatal Pilates include breath, transverse abdominal strength, gluteal strength and stretch, alignment, and pelvic floor.

One of the top reasons Pilates and pregnancy go so well together are that Pilates is great at building core strength. If your abdominals, back, and pelvic floor/Kegel muscles are toned, they will support a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery. Pilates is also famous for helping new moms get their figures back after baby is born.
