Second Trimester Upper Body Pull (Back & Biceps)
Training For Motherhood • 36m
For this workout, every move is targeting our back and/or biceps. You'll probably notice that during pretty much every back exercise, your biceps will be feeling some work, as well. That's because the two go hand in hand (especially with rows)! So many of these moves translate directly into motherhood. Once again: we're training for motherhood :)
