"It's really the perfect way to be close to your little one and also be able to remain active and healthy when your personal time might be limited."
You might recognize SoCal Pilates instructor Sheri Presley, she was the last model in our most recent Seek campaign! After teaching a class for us at our Encinitas studio, we thought, we have to share this talent with all of you!
Sheri started her yoga and pilates journey in 2010, but it was the birth of her son Luca that led her to discover how this style of workout would be perfect for pregnant and new mamas.
Sheri made us a 10-15 minute workout with no equipment needed. It's a low impact workout that uses our Scout, and focuses on strengthening the muscles and joints of the lower body. This helps improve balance, coordination and core stability. Sign us up!
"I love to workout while baby wearing because it creates a special bonding experience while intensifying my workout! It's beautiful because as baby grows, mama is also getting stronger in her recovery so the exercises can evolve for both of their needs."
Because these are low impact functional exercises, they are great for preparing the body for higher impact exercises like running. Or you can just keep to these because honestly getting anything done as a parent is a huge accomplishment, so bravo for just reading about working out again.
Note that jump squats are for mamas who are ready to introduce high impact exercises and are only recommended only after your baby is old enough to support head and neck.
