Squats during pregnancy
Squats during pregnancy are an excellent way to build strength in the lower body, especially the pelvic floor, glutes, and thighs, which are essential for labor and recovery. These exercises also promote better posture, reduce back pain, and improve circulation , helping to manage swelling and reduce the risk of varicose veins. To perform squats correctly, position your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, keep your chest lifted, and lower yourself slowly as if sitting in a chair, ensuring your knees stay behind your toys. Use a wall, chair, or other support for balance if necessary.
