PRENATAL GYM 1ST TRIMESTER
59 Seasons
Hi mama!!! so excited to get started with you on this trimester! Quick reminder & disclaimer before starting these to be cleared by your doctor or medical team, always listen to your body in terms of weight amount & we recommend prior experience of weight training in the gym to continue these type of exercises in pregnancy! Let’s get into it and work on that strength for you and baby together!!
This trimester focuses on maintaining strength while honoring lower energy levels and early body changes. Workouts emphasize foundational lifts, core connection, breathwork, and posture, with smart modifications to manage fatigue and nausea. The goal is to build stability and confidence while keeping intensity adaptable, helping you feel strong and supported from the very beginning.
