If you’re looking for the full Miracle Ball package, please select the print edition.**\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every year, four million women experience the joy of pregnancy—along with backaches, indigestion, sore feet, and difficulty sleeping. And after baby arrives, that persistent postpartum belly. Now proven relief is here. From Elaine Petrone, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Miracle Ball Method\u003c\/i\u003e, with over 1.1 million copies in print, comes \u003ci\u003eThe Miracle Ball Method for Pregnancy\u003c\/i\u003e, a program designed to help women deal with the pains, stress, and physical changes of pregnancy, and then help them regain a flat belly afterward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Elaine Petrone, a former dancer who created the original \u003ci\u003eMiracle Ball Method\u003c\/i\u003e to heal herself after suffering a career-ending injury, developed \u003ci\u003eThe Miracle Ball Method for Pregnancy \u003c\/i\u003eafter her own high-risk pregnancy with twins. The Miracle Ball Method works because it’s the un-exercise: muscles relax and become supple enough to allow the body to realign and reshape. The program starts with how to breathe properly, and why focusing on exhalation strengthens the diaphragm and relieves anxiety and fatigue. There are movements for specific problem areas—Neck on the Ball, the Rib Cage Side Stretch—and whole-body moves like Standing Body Hang Over. There are also variations to use in later months, when it’s no longer advised to lie flat on your back. The final exercises help reshape the body after birth, plus address labor, breastfeeding, and carrying a new baby around, now on the outside.","brand":"Workman Publishing Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153950753008,"sku":"9780761189831","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780761189831_p0.jpg?v=1763639650","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780761189831","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
