Congrats Comment #55 - Leah Shumack

I love pilates! It’s a wonderful way of using your own body to develop strength and muscle tone, as well as stretch, all without needing the use of weights and breaking into a huge sweat. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t become a pilates fan until I was finished having children and was on a mission to lose all of my baby weight. I did pilates on the days I needed lighter activity and didn’t want to just blow off exercising all together. I was happy to feel like I was getting a workout in without feeling like I was overwhelmed. Prenatal Pilates with Dale Shea allows you to safely exercise during pregnancy with her fabulous new DVD!

Prenatal Pilates will allow you to bring balance back into your life, physically, physiologically, and emotionally.  Balance your hormones to help you become more emotionally balanced. Stay fit and keep your balance and flexibility throughout your pregnancy. Additionally, you will maintain your muscle tone, keep the weight gain down and return to your pre-pregnancy body more quickly. Dale Shea has been a certified Pilates instructor through the Physical Mind Institute since 2001. She also holds a bachelors degree in Exercise Science from The George Washington University.  For the past 10 years she has utilized her education and dance background to build her own Pilates studio

Pilates Benefits For Expectant Mothers

* Increase your stamina!
Give yourself a much needed energy boost.
*Sleep Better!
Fall asleep faster and wake up well rested.
* Elevate your mood!
Exercise releases endorphins which improve mood, and decrease stress.
* Less weight gain and back pain!
Stretching helps ward off cramps, sore muscles, and tension.
* Easier Labor!
Moms who exercise have a shorter labor and are less likely to have a c-section.

Pilates Benefits For Babies

* Your baby may be smarter!
Research shows that moms who exercise throughout their pregnancy have babies who score higher on general intelligence tests by age 5.
* Your baby will be more fit!
Moms who exercise during pregnancy give birth to babies of a healthier weight. They also recover quicker from the stress of birth.
* Your baby will be easier!
Exercising moms have babies who are less colicky and sleep through the night sooner.

Now Dale brings you her wonderful Prenatal Pilates onto DVD for you to own and do as often as you like, right in the comfort of your home. Dale walks you through each exercise and helps motivate you through the entire workout. I plan to hang on to this DVD until my little sister is expecting so she can experience the benefits that I unfortunately missed during my child birthing years!
