Pregnancy Workout C - Weeks 12-15

Hey everyone,

Here is another workout possibility that is ideal for 12-15 weeks of pregnancy.  This is an intense 5 round FGB workout using both upper and lower body. 


Weeks 12-15 - Pregnancy Workout C
This workout consists of five different exercises, performed consecutively, each for 1 minute.  After completing all five exercises, you get 1 minute of rest before starting the next round.  Complete 5 rounds in total for a workout that takes 30 minutes.  This workout is quite intense and will really get your heart rate going.  

Here is the workout:
  1. Kettlebell swings - I used a slightly lower weight than usual to be able to perform for about 1 minute without resting (I did 35 reps per set)
  2. Alternating kettlebell deadlifts - I performed about 10 per side within each minute
  3. TGU's (Turkish Get Ups) - Each rep takes about 30 seconds, thus one rep per side/minute
  4. Jumping Lunges - I performed jumping lunges for about 30 seconds, at which time I had to switch to step back lunges
  5. Plank - try to hold for 1 minute each set (keeping good form!)

As always, you should be already performing these types of exercise at this intensity prior to pregnancy and have approval from you health care provider to exercise. 

Enjoy!
