* I modified this to 200m walks (because I stopped running long ago in my pregnancy, and 400 was too much walking compared to strength training time for my intentions with this workout) and 15 single arm OHS with a kettlebell.
* This took me about 14 minutes, walking around my block & using an 18lb KB. I alternated full rounds for single OHS - 1st round, R arm, 2nd round L arm. On the last round I did 8/8 because I’m a stickler for symmetry :)
Movement mod ideas:
* Walk / run: 400m, two sets of stairs, 25 step up / downs
* If you choose to run - make sure that you are not experiencing heaviness or any leaking at pelvic floor, nor any pain / pulling / pressure at lower abdominals or low back.
* I always advise to consider WHY you choose to run if you do so. It’s not so much about CAN I run, but what benefit am I getting out of running? Consider the risks versus rewards. If you’re early on in your pregnancy, have no discomfort, and have been running for a long time - go for it. If you’re questioning AT ALL whether you should / should not run - then I’d suggest not. This is a very temporary period of your life (even though it may feel like forever long) and you WILL get back to these activities after baby is born. You want to make sure that you don’t have long term issues stemming from trying to maintain your “normal” even when it becomes uncomfortable.
* Overhead squats: sub goblet squat, air squats.
* Make sure that you maintain a stable and level pelvis with NO TWISTING at the bottom of the squat while arm is overhead. If you cannot avoid twisting, or are feeling pulling / pain along either side or at low back - remove the OH portion and switch to goblet or air squats.
Have fun & hydrate!
