exercise routine on ball

I used one with my first starting around 30 weeks (I am now 30+1 and just started using it again). Instead of sitting on the couch I sit on the ball and if I read or eat dinner I sit on it lol even giving my 20month old a bath I will sit on it. With my first pregnancy I was dialated to 2 cm by 34 weeks and 4 cm by 38 weeks and went into labor at 39+5 and had a great 13hr labor. It helps baby get into position and can help you dialate.

Might be a dumb question but do you just sit on the ball? Lol I'm a ftm and plan on trying everything :)!

How long should I bounce on my ball for at a time?

I read online they're good to have during pregnancy and that's no lie. Definitely recommended.

I alwaystake a warm shower aand let it run over me til all the hot water is gone. I wish the doctor would have recommended this ball a long time ago. Good thing is I've used exercise ball before so I already knew how to balance and all but let kids have mine when I found out I was pregnant because I didn't know you could still use them. I found a few more exercises online like pelvic tilts but not sure how to do them going to ask therapist to show me today.

I would suggest that Covid makes everything a little more difficult. It seems to throw a psychological dragginess over doing things. So if your exercise routine isn't particularly inspiring, as Pax says, it would not only be hard to stick with in normal times, but to me it seems unsurprising that it would be harder to stick with it now. I agree that doing something that's a workout in itself but you like, is a good way to exercise.

try a dvd by zumba or another trainer you like, and mix it up. Don't do the same routine all the time. Confuse your muscles by having a different routine every day.
