30 WEEKS 🤰🏻
This past week I’ve been struck down with a sinus infection, but fortunately I’m now on the mend 😅🙌🏼
Other than the endless bugs I catch from my toddler, I feel very fortunate that I’ve been well enough to exercise throughout this pregnancy. I found I was a lot more tired during my first and struggled to train, I tended to stick to walking and yoga which worked well for me.
It’s important to listen to your own body, if you feel you have the energy to exercise, then make the most of it and hopefully it’ll lead to more. If not, don’t beat yourself up! Just do what works best for you and try to keep moving as much as possible, regular walking & stretching have great benefits.
As my bump is growing and I’m still keeping up with Mya, I do get some PGP (pelvic girdle pain), I had the same with my first pregnancy and just rest more when needed.
The main change I make to my training when I have this pain is to avoid split leg movements (e.g. high step ups & lunges) and take it easier day-to-day until it calms down.
At 30 weeks, I still focus my training towards strengthening my hips, back/core & pelvic floor through a mixture of controlled weighted & body weight exercises. I then find regular movement (mainly walking) important at reducing aches & pains.
Pregnancy can take a huge toll on you - you’re growing another human!!! So be kind to yourself, rest when needed and look after your body ❤️
