All jokes aside 😂 Pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to avoid movement and it definitely doesn’t mean you have to avoid challenging movements either! If you’re feeling up for it and you’ve been cleared to exercise, you can absolutely continue strengthening your core, building strength, and working on hip and pelvic mobility throughout pregnancy. And let’s not forget about that pelvic floor! It needs to know how to BOTH contract and relax, which is especially important as we prepare our bodies for labor and delivery. The biggest thing is learning to listen to YOUR body. Understanding when and how to modify exercises, managing pressure through your core, and choosing movements that support your body and feel good to you. And remember, just because you CAN do something during pregnancy doesn’t mean you HAVE to. Some days you’ll feel strong and ready to challenge yourself, and other days rest is exactly what your body needs. Both are okay. 🤍 #PrenatalFitness #PregnancyWorkout #PelvicFloorHealth #PregnancyExercise
