Sarah Michelle Gellar: Pre-Natal Workout

The paparazzi has not done a good job keeping up with Sarah Michelle Gellar. She’s been out of the limelight for awhile now and low and behold, she’s pregnant! Who knew? According to People Magazine she has been keeping fit during her first pregnancy by practicing pilates two to three times a week, 55 minutes per session, at New York City’s Real Pilates Studio. Alycea Ungaro, the studio’s founder said,
“She’s a rock star. She’s over the moon [about the baby], but very practical – she’s about taking care of herself.”
According to Ungaro, moms-to-be should do exercises that strengthen the hips, glutes and abs and exercises that require side-lying legwork.
“Baby care requires a tremendous amount of stooping as you cradle the baby and push a stroller,” says Ungaro. “So I work with my moms-to-be on strengthening the upper back muscles.”
Both pilates and yoga are great pre-natal workouts and many celebrities such as Giselle Bundchen and Molly Ringwald have been caught practicing these two types of low-impact exercises while pregnant.
