Pregnancy Exercise- Tone Your Thighs

Here’s a simple pregnancy exercise you can do to tone your quads (top of thigh) and inner thighs.  I call the exercise “Squat and Sweep”.  How to do the move: Hold onto the back of a chair with your feet approximately 3-4 feet apart and your toes slightly turned forward.  Bend your knees into a pilee squat (make sure your knees never go over your toe) and keep your back straight, head lifted.  As you press back to stand bring your weight towards your left leg and slide your right foot on the ground (i.e. “sweep”) so it crosses over your left supporting leg.  Next sweep your right foot back into a pilee squat.  As you press to stand, sweep your left foot across your right leg.  Repeat 10-20 reps each side.
