Fitness Talk Friday | At Home Prenatal & Postnatal Workouts

Start lifelong healthy habits for you and your baby with the NEW Active Maternity Series!

Did you know that exercise is one of the best ways to:

Help minimize pregnancy-related aches and pains
Boost your sense of well-being throughout your pregnancy
Build the foundation to help you get your body back faster post-pregnancy

It's true. But you have to know which exercises you can safely do during pregnancy and which to steer clear of, because now you're looking out—and working out—for two.

No need to go to the gym, splurge on expensive prenatal personal trainers, or worry about whether what you're doing is safe for you and your baby.

Autumn Calabrese, mother and celebrity trainer known for her 21 Day Fix® simple fitness and portion-control program, simplifies it all for you. Just press play and she'll show you exactly what to do, starting from when you're an expectant mom all the way through your postpartum weight-loss journey. Her Active Maternity workouts focus on gently building the strength you need for carrying your baby all the way through to labor. And she'll help you safely develop strong abs and a fit cardiovascular system to give you the oomph and stamina you need for the pushing stage.

The workouts are customized to each trimester, demonstrate pregnancy-specific modifications you can use during other activities, and show you how to stretch in a comfortable range of movement. So you can continue to experience the feelings of wellness you get from exercise while carrying your little one to term. And they're superefficient. You can squeeze these short and sweet pregnancy workouts in when you're low on time—or energy!

Special Note From Autumn: Although my workouts were specifically designed for expectant and new mothers with your health and safety in mind, it is important that you consult with your physician to understand just how these exercises may affect you, your health and your baby. Please get permission from your physician before beginning these workouts, especially if you are high risk, had a caesarean section or experience post-partum conditions.

THE WORKOUTS:

1st Trimester: Get Stable

These beginning exercises for pregnant women will set a healthy foundation for cardio and muscle development, one of the major keys to reducing discomfort throughout your second and third trimester.

2nd Trimester: Get Strong

Did you know that during the second and third trimester you should avoid standing motionless for too long and exercising while lying on your back? These sets of exercises will safely increase your strength, stability, and overall fitness during this energizing stage of pregnancy.

3rd Trimester: Get Ready

These workouts are designed to keep you motivated and active while preparing your body for a smoother delivery. You'll practice holding each move for 10 seconds. Each push is about that long, so preparing your body for this type of work is necessary.

Postpartum: Get It Back

Ease back into your regular workout routine as you learn the moves that can help you flatten your post-baby belly faster than traditional ab exercises, and start looking and feeling like yourself again. It consists of 2 rounds of 8 exercises you can squeeze in when your newborn is finally napping.
