From Carolyne Anthony's Childbearing Series, The Center For Women's Fitness presents the Pregnancy Fitness Program DVD. This video is a wellness program specially designed for pregnancy, labor and delivery. It is a safe and gentle program that will guide you through a series of beneficial exercises and prepare you for the big event. The program concentrates on helping the body to open and release, while at the same time strengthening and toning key areas like the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles.

This program is not a modified aerobics class. The exercises will help keep you strong and supple without adding stress and strain on your body. Strengthening, stretching and stabilizing exercises are included along with helpful breathing and relaxation techniques. The stability ball is incorporated in many of the exercises, making it easier and more comfortable to stay fit, and preparing you to use the ball in labor and delivery. This soothing and relaxing program is highly recommended by doctors, midwives and physical therapists. Meets all American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology guidelines.

• Address the needs of your rapidly changing body


• Help you gain flexibility


• Strengthen your body for labor and delivery with resistance work


• Help relieve stress through breathing, relaxation and visualization techniques
