Expectant mothers can keep up their fitness routines, with some modifications to accommodate their growing bellies. Yoga is an excellent exercise and learning to modify some of the positions is a great way to ensure you stay active, healthy and safe.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Stand with your legs slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, knees straight but not locked.

  2. Step 2

    Extend your arms straight out to your sides.

  3. Step 3

    Point your right foot out to the side. Your right hip will be slightly in front of your left hip.

  4. Step 4

    Bend from the waist to the right, gently placing your right hand down your right leg as you bend.

  5. Step 5

    Lift your left arm straight to the ceiling or sky.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat Steps 3 through 5, bending to your left side instead of your right. You'll lift your right arm for Step 5.

  7. Step 7

    Concentrate on feeling your chest expand as you bend from the waist.

Tips & Warnings
