#pregnancyworkouts for Week 34 (6 more weeks to go!). This is #workout no. 7. This #baby is definitely an active one, I can tell. It will start moving/kicking when I'm resting but when I'm exercising, the baby moves less (I like to think the movements mommy is doing is soothing for baby). I also have incorporated a lot of squats (sumo & deep) as it is considered the most effective #birthing position. Some benefits if #squats in #pregnancy: 1) shortens second stage of labour (pushing phase) 2) reduces the need for forceps or vacuum deliveries & episiotomy. 3) relieves back pressure 4) shortens the depth of your birth canal. 5) works with gravity! Squatting also tilts the uterus and pelvis forward, which places the baby in proper #birth alignment. Here are the exercises: 1) tricep dips on bench- 10reps 2) sumo squats- 10reps 3) plank to push up combo (knee on ground)- 10reps. Please help #sharethis post to other #mommies to be. Thanks!

Here is #workout no. 2 for #pregnancyworkoutseries. I am in my 29th week this week and boy do I feel this weight. It's like carrying a constant extra 25lbs of weight around. Nonetheless, I'm still determined to keep myself active. Here's the breakdown: 1) Push up on bench- 10reps x 3 2) Dynamic lateral squats- 10reps/side x 3 3) Alternate arm and leg extension in table top- 10reps/side x 3 Remember to always listen to your body, do what you can. If you have any questions regarding pre/post natal exercise, ask away!
