Yamuna Ball - a must for pregnancy

So I have to share my recent discovery courtesy of Fit Pregnancy...they did a feature article on the Yamuna Ball and the benefits of using it when you are pregnant to relieve the pressure that builds up in your back, spine, pelvis, hips and even legs. Willing to try just about anything to relieve the uncomfortable feeling nagging me in my lower back, hips and pelvis - I ordered one about a week ago.

It is a small gold ball, - not too expensive considering what it can help you do, and something I believe you can use even after the baby is born to release the tension and strengthen your core muscles.


My Yamuna ball arrived two days ago, and I put it to use yesterday. It is super easy to use, the hardest part is getting down on the floor - but once you are down there, it is something you can use as many times as you want throughout the day.

Basically there are three main exercises the Fit Pregnancy recommends for pregnant women. They all release the tension and pressure that you may be feeling in your back, hips, sides, everything - it is crazy how simple it is but how effective it is at truly making you feel better!

if you are a former athlete, have any issues with your back, hips, or joints (which will only get worse with pregnancy) or are just looking for an enjoyable way to stretch and relieve some pain...I highly recommend looking into this option.

Fit Pregnancy recommends using the "gold ball" which at one point in time was also a yellow ball I believe. It is the lowest level of resistance you can get in Yamuna and recommended for prenatal/pregnancy use.

I used the ball yesterday to stretch my back, work my core a little and stretch my hips/pelvis. I started out by sitting my right butt cheek on the ball with my right leg extended and my left leg bent up for stability and as you breath, press your butt into the ball, you will feel it all the way through your hips, butt, pelvis and even your leg...you can roll you butt over to one side and feel a different stretch...I am telling you - this thing is amazing.

Even Mike was using it to stretch his back - which is a step in the right direction because I am pretty sure that is the most athletic thing my (amazing) husband has done in a very long time. So even your hubby can put it to good use.

I took a chance based on an article and a sense of desperation and ordered this ball - but as some one who is now a "believer" it was worth the investment.

If you want more information or want to order your own Yamuna Ball - here is the information website. I can also send you the workout instructions that I have from Fit Pregnancy.
