Strengthen your core - abdominal training during pregnancy

When it comes to abdominal training during pregnancy, exercises that target the rectus abdominal muscles may not be the first choice as they do not have the same function as before. Instead, focus on exercises that stabilize and support the growing belly.

By training the core in a stabilizing way during pregnancy, you can reduce the risk of back pain, improve posture, and prepare for childbirth. So let's say goodbye to sit-ups and planks and welcome a more gentle and effective form of exercise!
