Prenatal: Soul Cycle
Indoor cycling, plus full-body sculpting, plus candlelight, plus pump-me-up music make this 45-minute class one heck of a ride. Prenatal riders will also love the head-clearing aspect: so long, pregnancy brain!
So far, Soul Cycle (soul-cycle.com) is only in New York and Los Angeles, but it’s expanding. In the meantime, look for an indoor cycling class in your neighborhood.
Modifications: "Do what’s comfortable, whether that’s riding in or out of the saddle,” says New York-based instructor Stacey Griffith.
