This is a full body routine designed to build strength in the areas a pregnant woman needs it most. Start with light weight and work your way up. Choose a weight that allows you to perform the repetitions properly and comfortably. After the first trimester, avoid exercises on your back. You can finish with 10 minutes of light cardio (do not get your heart rate above 140bpm) and the stretching routine. In between strength workouts, you should do 30 minutes of light cardio. Include intervals of resistance/incline (e.g. 3min warm-up; 5min regular pace, 5min resistance/incline, 5min regular, 5min resistance/incline, 5 min regular; 2min cool down. ) Targeted strength training: Lower body: Your quads and hamstrings bear the extra weight as your belly gets bigger. Upper/Middle Back: As your breasts enlarge, your shoulders round forward. Strengthening the muscles in your upper back helps prevent hunching. Arms/Shoulders: Strong arms to prep you for carrying that developing baby. Core: Having strong abs will help prevent back pain.
