You’re pregnant and exhausted and now people want you to exercise? Sure, it’s good for you, great for the baby, and should help with labor—but isn’t walking up a flight of stairs enough of a workout? Enter Aqua Mom. Think of a gentle cardio workout in warm water—of being weightless for an hour! Each class is limited to nine and combines swimming, yoga, and resistance training; sessions meet once a week for eight weeks ($240). In the water you don’t need to worry about balance or stress on the body, and you can get started as early as you like and continue all the way up until arrival time. Founder Andrea Pritchett actually has women come to class while in early labor.
