Do’s and Don’ts

In the 3^rd trimester, there are a lot of changes. Your growing belly will be in your way for a lot of exercises. If you were still able to do push ups in your 2^nd trimester, you will probably have to go to the wall now. When you squat, it should only be bodyweight squats and not past 90 degrees. Push press and shoulder press are still good exercises, but don’t go too heavy. If you can still row, go for it. It works a lot of muscles. Keep walking, and doing good mornings, and do step ups on either the 20” or 12” box, whichever your body will allow. Do farmer’s walk, lunges (not too deep) and ring rows. Don’t forget to rest, drink your water and make sure your doctor ok’s your exercise program.
