Happy New Year! Now is the time to get back into your workout routine if you've been overindulging during the holidays!
Here is a great full body workout that is suitable for 16-19 weeks pregnancy (or earlier). As always, you should already be performing these types of exercises at this intensity prior to pregnancy AND have approval from your health care provider to exercise.
Weeks 16-19 - Pregnancy Workout D
This workout consists of two ladders. Start with 10 reps, followed by 9, 8, 7, etc. until you reach one rep of each. For Ladder A, alternate between exercises 1 and 2 (i.e. 10 swings, immediately followed by 10 squats, 9 swings, 9 squats, etc. ). Take breaks as needed.
Ladder A
- Heavy Kettlebell Swing
- Kettlebell Goblet Squat

Ladder B

You may find these exercises are becoming more difficult to perform as you progress in your pregnancy. If you have pain or feel your form is suffering, modify or change the exercises as you see fit!
