My Weekly Pregnancy Workout Schedule
I have been asked what my prenatal workout schedule consists of per week. It actually does not vary too much and stays the same from week to week. I am currently still in the first trimester and will be for another 4 weeks or so. When I move into the second trimester, I will stop doing exercises while lying on my back. Other than that, things should remain the exact same until I give birth!
I do all of my workouts each morning during my son’s first nap! You will honestly thank yourself SO much for staying active during pregnancy. The workouts that you do while carrying a bun in the oven will determine how easy it is for you to bounce back after giving birth.

*If you notice, I do not work my abs during pregnancy really. There is no point to me, plus I do not want to risk getting Diastasis Recti later on.*
