By the third trimester, comfort and mobility become the priority. These workouts include gentle strength, stretching, and pelvic floor exercises to ease tension and prepare your body for birth.
It’s about staying active in a way that feels good, keeps you moving, and helps you feel connected to your body right up to the finish line.
Please remember each pregnancy is different and every day your body will feel different.
I walked a lot during this pregnancy (I chose not to run), but for the first and second trimester I would walk on inclines. This was totally dependent on how my body was feeling, and some days no incline at all.
I would walk on the treadmill for 30 min at varying inclines like 6 or 8 at a nice steady pace I felt very comfortable with, one I could easily hold a conversation with, always adjusting to a lower interval or speed when needed.
For the later part of the second trimester and the third, inclines were a bit too much for me but just slow walking felt extremely good and needed for my legs and really beneficial for circulation.
Comfort is key — move in ways that feel good and release tension.
Use props or a wall for balance as your bump grows.
Focus on breathing, mobility, and light activation over intensity.
Pelvic floor and hip-opening exercises are especially helpful now.
Avoid lying on your stomach or doing deep backbends.
Give yourself grace — rest is as valuable as movement.
How am I feeling about birth?
How am I managing stress and excitement all at once?
What physical discomforts and changes am I feeling the most?
How does movement help me feel?
What routines are helping me / or can I do to help me feel grounded and safe?
What do I want to remember about this time in my life being pregnant?
How has my partner been supporting me?
What type of parent do I want to be? What am I most excited to teach my baby about life, love, the world?
How do I plan on continuing to show up for myself postpartum?
What do I love most about my relationship with my partner during the last few months? How has our relationship evolved?
This program is here to help you feel strong and supported through movement during pregnancy. The movement provided is a compliment to and not a substitute or replacement for pelvic floor physical therapy or personalized care. Every body and pregnancy are unique, so I encourage you to check in with a qualified pelvic floor therapist to make sure your individual needs are met.
Beginning to feel more lethargic and tired, while feeling the weight of my belly in all my workouts and walks (and also my bigger boobs…). But I promised myself I could do this. I knew that spending time with my body, baby and my mind on my mat 20 minutes a day helped me connect myself more than ever, when I felt like there was no better time than now to support myself.
Breathing deep into my body when feeling discomfort with all the shifts, aches and pains that come with this ever changing home that we both live in.
I love taking in this time with my body and baby, where I don’t want to share them with anyone. It's just the two of us, and it's perfect.
Me and Brody had a little staycation in the city. Central Park walks, dinner, and Netflix and chill- it was perfect.
I am thinking about all the changes that are quickly happening, and honouring my hibernating time knowing that doing nothing is doing something, and spending time with myself the last few weeks are the most special and precious moments. Plan to take time off for yourself because the little one arrives if you can.
Focus on gentle stretches, slow walks, recovery, meditation and breath
I love rubbing my tummy, knowing that my touch is loved, felt and it's a little hello to my soon to be new best friend. Brain fog is also SO REAL. When the afternoon hits my mind goes to mush, even the smallest tasks feel challenging. Honour your pregnancy brain and do what you can- then rest rest rest..
Time to tune inwards with more rest, hydration, stretch, slow walks. Now is the ultimate mind-body preparation with breath and journaling. Rest, prepare, connect to yourself.
You fucking got this and so does your body.
