I bought one of those big exercise balls after my gynac mentioned it helps with back pain. But honestly i have no clue how to use it properly. Can someone tell me the basic moves?
You don't need to buy a super expensive gym ball, a basic sturdy one from Amazon works perfectly fine. Using it regularly at home can help prepare your body for a normal delivery, which might save on extra hospital costs. Just plan your purchases wisely and stay safe.
Gym ball is amazing for opening up your pelvic muscles, just make sure you sit straight with your feet flat on the floor. I used to do gentle hip circles and light bouncing daily to prep for labor. It really helped ease my lower back pain too.
Humare yahan toh log simple exercises hi karte hain, but my husband got me this big ball. Sitting on it and doing soft round movements felt very comfortable for my back. Just be very gentle and hold onto a chair so you don't slip.
When I was dealing with severe morning sickness, active exercises were impossible, but just sitting on the gym ball and gently swaying helped distract me. It was so relaxing and didn't put pressure on my stomach. Definitely give it a try when you feel up to it.
I used a gym ball for light stretching, which also helped keep my blood sugar levels stable after meals. Just make sure someone is nearby so you don't lose balance. Always check with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
