FREE Sample Workout for the Third Trimester

Ah, yes. The glorious third trimester. The glow of the second trimester is fading. All the Things are swelling. Baby is growing like crazy. And you just don’t want to workout.

But you must! Women gain the majority of their pregnancy weight in the third trimester. The baby is growing and when the baby grows, momma grows. As momma grows, her body changes even more and gets ready for childbirth. Remaining active helps your body adjust in a way that will aid childbirth rather than hinder it.

If you’re struggling with sticking to a routine during the third trimester, or want something short and simple to incorporate into your current routine, try these simple moves. Hold each one for ten seconds, rest for three seconds, and repeat for at total of three reps. Take a two minute break then repeat the set. This workout is short, simple, and leaves you with no excuse NOT to do it!

Weighted Sumo Squat

Bent-over Row

Isometric Bicep Curl

Chair Pose

Reverse Lunge
