Third Trimester Full Body Balance
Training For Motherhood • 52m
Alright, mama. This one's a bit longer. As with the rest of Third Trimester workouts, it does focus on prep for birth. So each of the three circuits includes a slow pelvic floor and core-focused exercise. Lots of breath work, mind to muscle connection, and engagement work.
If you're short on time, go for the lower range of reps of each exercise. (I choose to do the max reps of each exercise, which probably adds 10 more minutes.) And of course, feel free to lower sets from 3 down to 2.
I LOVED this workout.
