So I think I have found the perfect routine for us moms to be! It requires muscle groups that won’t irritate the tummy while also toning the body nicely. It consists of 35-40 minutes of cardio – either treadmill, stairmaster, or a spin class. 3-5 sets of bicep curls, tricep lifts (behind the head), back curls, and shoulder lifts all using 7.5 lb. weights. Additionally, I will do 3 sets of squats, lunges, and side squats all using a 10 lb. weight. So far this workout has been super low intensity since the weights are so light and the cardio is only intense enough to get my heart rate to 140 or lower, which is not super fast or tiresome. I recommend this routine to anyone, pregnant or not. You will see your body stay fit and toned in the legs, arms, shoulders and back, all areas that are not going to affect the baby. Leave a post and let me know if you use it and how it went!
