Think Strong Centre & Long Spine
These exercises specifically target the muscles and areas now that you are in your second trimester of pregnancy.
They will build strong core stability and support for your pelvis, back and also help tone, burn fat and improve posture
This will result in a stronger body which performs more effectively in every possible way throughout your pregnancy
This not only gives you a more toned shape, it also acts as a vital support to your skeletal framework and strengthens your joints
You will be fitter and stronger for a more positive pregnancy and birth
Try to follow the recommended repetitions but listen to your body and reduce them if you need to
Start slowly, and gradually build up the repetitions
You can use light to medium hand weights (2-3kg max) or a resistance band to add intensity.
Many of these exercises are adaptable for gym machine use but please reas the BloomingFit Weight Training page for safety guidelines
Remember to breathe rhythmically throughout the movements
