Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilates-based exercises are used throughout this book because I feel they provide the most benefit for pregnant women. But... Pilates is much more than just a series of exercises. It is a lifestyle and philosophy that incorporates more than just a mind/body experience. It becomes a way of life for most Pilates instructors. We teach Pilates from the heart and soul, truly believing in its power to change lives. By teaching this course, I hope to plant a seed in all teachers and leave it with them to blossom through their own experiences. Pilates instructors have the ability to change not only bodies, but beliefs as well. Whether a woman chooses to do Pilates, Yoga, run or swim, being healthy physically is conducive for a better birth as well as post-partum recovery. By writing this book for the pregnant woman, I hope to impart the limitless possibilities, not just for exercise during pregnancy, but also for healthier ways of giving birth.

Readers will find up-to-date evidence on the psychological, social, physiological, body composition, musculoskeletal, and biomechanical changes that occur during pregnancy and their implications for physical activity and exercise. Detailed descriptions are provided of the components of exercise testing and prescription for pregnant women, the current evidence-based and practice-oriented guidelines, and exercise selection and adaptation during pregnancy. Exercises specifically targeting musculoskeletal health are discussed separately, and a concluding chapter explains the nutritional requirements in pregnant women who exercise.
