Even though I'm pregnant in this program and I created it for those going through the stages of their pregnancy, technically ANYONE can do this program. This program is focused on your inner core muscles (your transverse abdominal muscles) that basically are your corset muscles. During pregnancy, as your belly grows, your abs will begin to separate therefore weakening your core. You might start to feel more pelvic floor pain, back pain, or even start noticing some leakage when you cough or sneeze. Starting a program centered on those inner core muscles and being able to safely work them while pregnant can not only help with those problems, but can actually help you when it comes to labor and delivery! These exercises work both your inner core muscles as well as your pelvic floor. Strengthening both helps when it comes time to push your baby out. This means that you COULD have a faster delivery. Completing this program during pregnancy can also help you get a jumpstart on your postpartum recovery. With all of this being said, these core exercises can be done whether you're pregnant or not!

With some of these exercises I'll be utilizing a stability ball and a mini ball. If you don't have either one of these, you can simply utilize a couch, chair, bed in place of a stability ball, and a pillow in place of the mini ball.
