Things I focused on in my SECOND trimester workouts 🤰🏼🏋🏼♀️ ->
As the belly grows, the core has to adapt to increasing pressure and a changing abdominal wall. Focusing on 360 breathing, the connection between the breath & core, and pressure management can help the core to continue to function effectively throughout pregnancy!
Your centre of gravity shifts as pregnancy progresses, which can affect balance, coordination + stability. Incorporating unilateral and stability focused exercises helps train the body to stay strong and controlled as these changes occur!
A growing belly tends to shift more weight forward which can change how you naturally stand & move. Being mindful of how you’re standing in everyday life + maintaining strength through the core, glutes & upper back can help to support good posture!
With the increased energy in the second trimester, focusing on strength training is key! The goal doesn’t always have to be lifting heavier. Maintaining strength helps support your changing body and prepares your muscles for the increasing physical demands of pregnancy and postpartum!
