Pregnancy Side Plank Exercise Video

Start by on your side with your elbow directly under your shoulder. Bend your knees and make your body as straight as possible. Keep you eyes and head focused straight ahead, tighten your middle and raise your hips up off the mat. There should be pressure through your elbow and knee, however your focus is on your middle and maintaining proper body alignment. Please don't forget to breath! Keep a shallow breath throughout the exercise. You will hold this position for what ever duration you feel comfortable. Listen to your body and don't push the limits! Third trimester will be difficult so cut the duration down or discontinue this exercise if it feels to uncomfortable.
