Helps With
A combined stretch and strength exercise that helps open the hips, release the front of the thigh and build lower body stability — preparing your body for the demands of labour.
Instructions
-
1
Kneel Forward
Kneel on the floor with your ball in front of you and rest your forearms across the top.
-
2
Extend One Leg
Slide one leg out behind you until it is fully straight, with your front knee bent at 90 degrees.
-
3
Hug the Ball
Lower your chest down to hug the ball, keeping your back long and shoulders relaxed.
-
4
Feel the Stretch
Feel the opening through the front of your back leg and the lengthening through your spine.
-
5
Switch & Repeat
Slowly return to centre and repeat on the opposite side.
Tip
If your bump feels squashed, widen your kneeling stance so the ball sits between your thighs rather than against your belly.
