Pregnancy Workout B - Weeks 12-15

Hey everyone,

Here is another great full body workout, suitable to perform between weeks 12-15 of pregnancy.

As a reminder, you should always get approval from your health care provider prior to starting any exercise program, especially during pregnancy. Also, keep in mind, we do try to describe and demonstrate the exercises, but there are obvious limitations to providing this information over the web. If you unsure how to perform an exercise or worry you are doing it incorrectly, you may wish to modify with another exercise you can safely perform.

Weeks 12-16 - Pregnancy Workout B
This workout includes four exercises, performed in 2 supersets.  Complete 3 sets of exercises 1 and 2, followed by 3 sets of exercises 3 and 4.  Take breaks between sets as needed.

Superset A

1. Overhead Kettlebell Stepback Lunges
2. Double Kettlebell Single Leg Deadlifts

Superset B

1. Jungle Gym Reverse Pushups - you can modify with some type of rowing movement if you do not have a Jungle Gym or similar apparatus.
2. Pushups

Video Demonstration

During a recent trip, Tannys also performed this particular workout, and modified some of the exercises based on available equipment. For Superset A, she performed the lunges holding 2 dumbbells by her sides (you could also hold the dumbbell overhead), and used a single dumbbell held in front for the deadlifts.

For Superset B, she performed bench rows, as well as pushups.

This is a great example of how you can modify your workout to suit where you are and what equipment you have.  No excuses to not fit in a workout!

Enjoy!
