I have had many requests and questions about how to modify exercises in pregnancy. While we do have a pre and postnatal category of workouts that builds these modifications in, it’s also important to know how to modify other workouts in the FB library so you can stay safe and continue to do your favorites!
There’s so much fear put upon us in pregnancy to stay safe and avoid “x, y, and z” but I want to give you some clarity today that is evidence-based, not fear-based. The good news is that there is still SO much you can do in pregnancy with a few tweaks and modifications. I remember in my first pregnancy, before I was pre/postnatal certified, that I would skip certain workouts, stop in the middle, or just really second guess myself. I didn’t feel safe or confident, but knew I wanted to support my body and stay strong, which led me to get educated (first for me, and then for others!).
I want this resource to help you get your confidence back in your movement so you can continue to support your body, stay strong, and feel good as you prepare for birth.
In this resource you’ll learn:
The key changes in pregnancy that impact movement
Activities to avoid in pregnancy
First trimester: movements to modify
Second trimester: movements to modify
Third trimester: movements to modify
Exercise warning signs
In the video, you’ll find me demonstrating common exercises you need to modify, broken down by trimester. In the write-up you’ll see those movements listed out along with the “why” behind it and warning signs.
If you’re currently expecting or planning for pregnancy, this is your starting point to understanding your body and safe, effective movement!
Let me know below if you’re currently expecting and how far along :)
