Wondering what exercises are safe while pregnant? How do you know when it’s time to try a new variation of the exericse?

🤔If you experience any of these warning signs, your body is letting you know that you’re not ready for the exercise or movement. Creating a modification will help to not exacerbate symptoms and reduce stress on your pelvis.

You can use bands instead of weights, perform the exercise in different positions (instead of standing tricep extension a lying down one), or perform bodyweight movements instead of weighted ones. Always remember to use your breath during the hardest part of the movement to create spinal stability.
