When people think about working out their core, they think sit-up's, planks, crunches, etc. But when you're pregnant or postpartum, those ab workouts are definitely on the NO list. One of the best ways to work out your core is through full body exercises or leg workouts. Think about it, if you are lunging or squatting in different directions, what is keeping your body in good alignment? Your core (aka abdominals and back muscles) and when performed with good breathing techniques, you are even engaging your deep core muscles which help give you that slim waisted look we all want!
