Apps for Smart PhonesNew! Jenny's Belly on the Mooney App. Download it to your phone for FREE! 8th August – 12th September 2011
Jenny's Belly was a pregnancy exercise series that ran on the airwaves and on the Mooney App in Summer 2011 when Jenny Branigan (of Total Physio and resident physio on the Mooney Show) was pregnant with her second baby. It is a six week series, showing various exercises that can be safely done during pregnancy, to maintain muscle strength and prepare the body for labour. The exercises are based on Pilates, a form of body conditioning that focuses on developing a strong core by using the deep abdominal muscles. Pilates helps control movement and posture while developing muscle tone throughout the body, improving flexibility, body awareness, balance and breathing. There are five basic principles in Pilates; breathing, head and neck placement, shoulder blade placement, rib cage placement and pelvic placement. These principles were incorporated each week into Jenny’s Belly pregnancy series and five new exercises targeting the following areas were demonstrated that can be practiced safely in the comfor of your own home. The App is FREE to download. Just go to the App Store and search for Mooney. Jenny's Belly can be found by clinking into the Media section of the App. There is a video demonstration of each exercise as well as text detailing how to do each move safely. In case you missed the shows, the podcasts are also available here http://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcast_mooney.xml Week 1: Deep breathing and Pelvic Floor contractions Week 6: Overall Strength and Balance Important: This information is not a substitute for a consultation with your GP, obstetrician or Chartered Physiotherapist.
