Pregnant

Pregnancy workouts are built so you can stay active safely through all three trimesters. They account for what genuinely changes in that time: a shifting centre of gravity, a growing load on the lower back, looser ligaments, and the work of the pelvic floor.

Each session states the stage of pregnancy it is meant for, because pregnancy is not one single period. Exercises that suit the first trimester look different by the third — the starting position changes, so does the range of motion and what is better avoided. You will also find postpartum recovery sessions, built up gradually and in the right order: breathing and deep-muscle activation first, load only afterwards.

Most sessions need a mat, sometimes a ball, a chair or a wall for support. They are deliberately short, because during pregnancy regularity matters more than the length of any single session.

Before starting or resuming exercise while pregnant, speak to the doctor or midwife looking after you. These recordings do not replace an individual medical assessment, and in a high-risk pregnancy or with any contraindication the decision belongs to the specialist who knows your case.
