Prenatal Workout: Full Body Strength

Let’s workout together!

Keeping your body strong during pregnancy can help you in countless ways, including keeping away the worst of pregnancy pains/symptoms and prepping your body for the “ultimate” athletic event.

Strength training during pregnancy is not only totally safe, but recommended. Always consult with your physician before starting a new fitness program.

Let’s get to the workout - pictures and video included!
