Prenatal Exercise- Toning the Thighs

If you want to keep your thighs in good shape while you’re pregnant do pilee squats.  For beginners, hold onto a chair with one hand and turn sideways.  Place your feet approximately 4 feet apart with your toes slightly foward.  Inhale pilee squat with your knees right over your ankles (make sure your knees never go over your toes) exhale come back to standing.  Work up to 2-3 sets of 10 slow squats, 10 quick pulse, 10 slow.  For intermediate to advanced exercisers do the same exercise as above while holding onto a 8-10 lb. weight.  Simply extend your arms down toward the ground while holding onto the weight and pilee squat.
