Pregnancy!

PilatesPoleKat started this discussion ยท

I have been poling regularly for a little over a year now and have gained sooo much upper body and core strength from it! (YAY) ๐Ÿฅ‚  Anyhow, I am now pregnant with my 3rd & I have been continuing to pole like usual. I haven't learned/tried any new tricks or any tricks that I am not REALLY solid with, since finding out.  I am about to be going into my 2nd trimester and I'm certain inverting will be out of the question within a couple of weeks, simply for the fact that all this extra blood flow makes me dizzy after about 30 mins & so I stop for the day. My question is this: what pregnancy-safe exercises can I continue doing to maintain all this glorious pole muscle until after baby??  I have been doing planks, pushups, some pull-ups....just wondering if you all have any other suggestions/experience for some non-pole exercises, so I can hopefully not have to start over TOO much later this year!  Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚
