With these workouts, use whatever weight you are comfortable with. I worked out before pregnancy so my weight training has decreased a bit in weights but I still continue to do most of the same moves! As I get further along in my pregnancy I am noticing things are not as easy as they were before. For example, a standing shoulder press doesn’t feel right so now I do them seated or on a stability ball. So just make sure to listen to your body and do what you feel comfortable with. Never be afraid to make modifications!

*Before starting anything new, please consult with your doctor and get the approval before you jump right in! Again I was very physically fit pre pregnancy so I am comfortable to continue my workouts as well as getting an approval from my doctor.
