In the sixth month pregnancy program, which chair exercise is included?

• A. Kneeling Mermaid
• B. Double Leg Pumps Sitting
• C. Achilles Stretch
• D. Standing Leg Pumps

Answer: (A)

In the sixth month, the program prioritizes safe, supported movement that protects the growing belly while promoting posture, breathing, and mobility. Kneeling Mermaid fits this approach because it is a lateral stretch done in a kneeling position with the pelvis stabilized, often using a chair for additional support. This setup allows a gentle lengthening of the side body and chest without lying on the back or twisting the spine, which is ideal as balance becomes more challenged and abdominal pressure increases. The chair provides grounding support, making the exercise safe and accessible in late pregnancy. The other options involve standing positions or non-chair-based movements, which aren’t the specific chair exercise highlighted for this stage.
