Pregnancy friendly movement 🤍
Today’s low-impact upper body workout fuelled by overnight oats with protein powder, raspberries, strawberries and a square of dark chocolate 🍓
Staying active during pregnancy isn’t about pushing harder or chasing PBs. It’s about supporting your body, keeping strength where you need it, and moving in a way that feels good.
Working out from home today with a poorly boy on the sofa full of cold so keeping active around mum duties!
Today’s workout:
• Shoulder press – 3 x 12–15
(seated on a chair for back support)
• Chest press (floor) – 3 x 12–15
(the floor helps limit range and keeps shoulders safe)
• Dumbbell reverse fly's – 3 x 12–15
(great for posture as your bump grows)
• Dumbbell rows – 3 x 12–15
(using a chair for support to protect the lower back)
• Bicep curls – 3 x 12–15
• Tricep dips – 3 x 12–15
(bench or chair – or swap for kickbacks if shoulders feel sensitive)
Slow reps, steady breathing and listening to my body the whole way through.
Movement in pregnancy doesn’t have to be intense to be effective. Sometimes it just looks like lifting a little, nourishing your body, and growing a human at the same time.
Living unrestricted… with a bump 🤍
Disclaimer: Always check with your midwife or healthcare professional before starting or continuing exercise during pregnancy. Everyone’s pregnancy is different — listen to your body, modify when needed, and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
