Jeff: WELCOME BACK TO "SA
LIVE," EXERCISE DURING
PREGNANCY IS IMPORTANT AND
PROBABLY THE PERFECT PATH TO
POSTPARTUM WEIGHT LOOSE AND
RECOVERY.
HERE IS A FITNESS RECOVERY
AND SHE'S WITH CHILD.
MARIZA IS WITH US, AND OUR
MODEL, WE'RE GOING TO LEARN
HOW TO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, HELP
DEVELOP SOME NEW SKILLS WHEN
WE'RE -- WHEN -- I SAY
WE'RE, WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT,
BECAUSE THERE'S SOME THINGS
YOU SHOULD BE WORKING ON.
YES, VERY IMPORTANT.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
THAT -- FIRST OF ALL, WHEN
YOU'RE PREGNANT, YOU CAN
STILL EXERCISE AS LONG AS
YOUR DOCTOR APPROVES IT.
THERE'S NOT ANY HIGH RISK
INVOLVE.
IF YOU EXERCISED BEFOREHAND,
THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY
ISSUES, BUT, AGAIN, ALWAYS
CLEAR IT WITH YOUR
PHYSICIANS FIRST.
THE STANDARDS HAVE CHANGED.
IT USED TO GO BY YOUR HEART
RATE AND NOW IT'S MORE BASED
ON WHAT YOUR CURRENT FITNESS
LEVEL IS AND SO FORTH, SO...
Jeff: USED TO BE, OKAY,
WHAT EXERCISES CAN YOU DO OR
SHOULD YOU BE DOING.
RIGHT, WELL, FOR EXAMPLE,
IF SOMEBODY WAS A BIG RUNNER
BEFOREHAND, LIKE THEY RAN
MARATHONS AND SO FORTH,
USUALLY IT'S OKAY TO KEEP
DOING THAT WHILE YOU'RE
PREGNANT.
I TEACH KICK BOXING, SO I
STILL TEACH KICK BOXING.
AGAIN, BUT WITH THE APPROVAL
OF YOUR DOCTOR THAT IT'S
OKAY TO CONTINUE THOSE
EXERCISES, THERE'S NO RISK
INVOLVES, ANYTHING OF THE
SORT.
Jeff: OKAY.
SO WHAT ABOUT CRUNCHES?
CRUNCH, OKAY, YOU CAN
STILL DO CRUNCHES, THE THING
IS AFTER YOUR FIRST
TRIMESTER THEY DON'T
RECOMMEND YOU ARE ON YOUR
BACK FOR A LONG PERIOD OF
TIME, DUE TO THE BABY'S
BLOOD SUPPLY AND SO FORTH.
SO THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS
TO KEEP THAT CORE AND BACK
STRONG.
Jeff: AND I BET I KNOW
WHAT IT IS.
IT'S NOT OWLING.
IT'S PLANKING.
IT'S PLANKING, THERE YOU
GO.
PLANKS ARE SUPER IMPORTANT
IN THAT WHEN WOMEN GET BRING
NANT, OUR ABDOMINAL WALL
SEPARATES, SO, ONE, WE WANT
TO KEEP THE APNO, MA'AM L
WALL STRONG AND OUR CORE
STRONG BECAUSE YOU'RE
CARRYING ECK TRA WEIGHT,
YOU'RE CARRYING THAT CHILD.
SO LOW BACK PAIN, SO FORTH,
KEEPING THAT CORE STRONG,
EVEN IF YOU'RE WANTING TO
GET PREGNANT, DO IT AHEAD OF
TIME, IT'S GOING TO HELP YOU
WITH ANY BACK ISSUES.
AFTER YOU GIVE BIRTH, IT'S
ALSO GOING TO HELP YOU TO
RESTREPGHT THEN THE
ABDOMINAL WALL AND TIGHTEN
IT UP.
Jeff: RIGHT.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF
PLANKING HERE BUT IT'S
ADJUSTED.
YES, SHE'S DOING A
MODIFIED PLANK.
WHEN YOU PLANK, YOUR HEAD IS
STRAIGHT, YOU'RE LOOKING AT
THE FLOOR, DON'T LOOK UP.
IT SHOULD BE ONE STRAIGHT
LINE ACROSS, SO FROM HEAD TO
HEEL, YOU SHOULD HAVE A
STRAIGHT LINE.
YOU CAN ALSO DO THIS ON THE
FLOOR, THIS IS A MODIFIED
VERSION.
SHE'S GOING TO GET ON HER
FOREARMS AND YOU COULD DO A
PLANK ON THE FLOOR AS WELL.
SO, AGAIN, FROM HEAD TO
HEEL, IT'S ONE STRAIGHT
LINE.
Jeff: BUT BE SAFE AND
MAKE SURE YOU'RE IN A
COMFORTABLE SPOT AND YOU'VE
GOT PEOPLE AROUND --
YES.
COMFORTABLE SPOT, YOU FEEL
SAFE.
IF AT EVER TIME YOU'RE
EXPHES SIZING YOU FEEL --
EXERCISING YOU FEEL SHORT OF
BREATH, DIZZY, MAYBE HEART
PALPITATIONS, ANYTHING OF
THE SORT, PROBABLY STOP,
CATCH YOUR BREADTH AND MAKE
CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR IF
YOU WANT TO CONTINUE.
Jeff: AND MARIZA IF YOU
GIVE BIRTH DURING EXERCISE,
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CALL
SOMEBODY.
YES.
Jeff: I'M JUST GUESSING
BECAUSE NOW YOU'VE GOT
ANOTHER PERSON THERE.
YES.
EXACTLY.
YOU WANT TO STOP WHERE YOU
ARE, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING
AND CALL 9-1-1.
Jeff: YEAH.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF
EXERCISES.
SHE WAS DOING PLEA AS
PREVIOUSLY.
WHAT PLIE'S DO, IT'S A PLIE
SQUAT, IT'S DIFFERENT THAN
THIS, A REGULAR SQUAT.
YOUR TOES ARE TURNED OUT,
YOUR KNEES ARE RIGHT OVER
YOUR ANKLE.
Jeff: SO WHAT DO I DO
NOW.
THE KNEES ARE RIGHT OVER
THE ANKLES AND YOU COME
DOWN.
A TYPICAL SWAT, -- SQUAT,
YOU DO STICK YOUR KNEES AND
YOUR YOUR BUTTOCKSES OUT.
Jeff: WELL, THINGS ARE
MOVING.
STUFF ARE WHERE THEY
SHOULDN'T BE RIGHT NOW.
THIS HELPS YOUR INNER
THIGH AND YOUR GLUTS.
THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT FOR
DURING PREGNANCY, RECOVERY
AND DURING BIRTH.
Jeff: THINGS ARE GOING TO
CHANGE, TOO.
YES, YOUR LIGAMENTS, YOUR
JOINTS, EVERYTHING LOOSENS
UP WHILE YOU'RE PREGNANT.
SO THE MAIN CONCERN IS YOU
WANT TO BE AWARE OF YOUR
BODY.
SO IF ANYTHING FEELS OFF
BALANCE, IF YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU CAN'T BALANCE YOURSELF,
EITHER SUPPORT YOURSELF,
