Back PressThis exercise strengthens your trunk and thighs, helping
you maintain a healthy lower back posture during your pregnancy. - Place your feet 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30
centimeters) from the wall.
- Rest your back flat against the
wall and slide down the wall until your knees are slightly bent.
- Press your lower back against the wall by pulling in your stomach muscles.
- Hold for 6 seconds, and then relax your stomach muscles and slide back up the wall.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
