Welcome! You are about to be on your way to a stronger, empowered pregnancy. This program can be started at any point during your pregnancy starting at 5 weeks and scaled to the level of difficulty that best suits you during the numerous changes your body is going through during this time. 1st and 2nd trimester are an upper/lower split while 3rd trimester transitions to a full body split to honor energy levels and fatigue as you approach the major event of birth. Each trimester includes movements that help you connect to your core and pelvic floor while also maintaining or increasing strength in all planes of motion. You will also see modified explosive primer exercises at the beginning of sessions to aid in force absorption, building stronger joints, and to reduce injury risk. Optional conditioning circuits are also included in 3rd tri to help build the endurance needed during labor and delivery. Tools to assist with auto-regulation throughout your training will be provided so you can scale intensity safely throughout your pregnancy.

*Please consult your doctor prior to beginning any exercise program

Thorough Programming= Confident Training

There are always substitutions and modifications available for you as needed. Following this program will allow you to train confidently through pregnancy, gaining the strength and mobility necessary for birth.

Know Your Limits
The 20lb weight limit is outdated. This program incorporates methods of intensity management to train safely during pregnancy while still maintaining your strength and muscle. Your PRs may be on a temporary hold in this season, but you can still lift some heavy weights in a smart and safe way.

Manage Pain and Move Well
Throughout this program, there are movements specifically incorporated to help mitigate common aches and pains that occur throughout pregnancy. Birth prep mobility is also included to help baby move down and into the pelvis and help you relax the muscles that may need to chill out for a smooth delivery. I'll have you move in all planes of motion to improve overall balance and coordination.

FAQs
When can I start?
You can start as early as week 5 of of your pregnancy. If you're starting later on, you can adjust when the start day of the program is from when you were roughly 5 weeks to align it with where you currently are in the 36 week time frame.
Can I adjust it to be 3 days?
Yes! I would recommend keeping 1 upper and 1 lower day and taking 2-3 movements from the other upper and lower days to make 1 full body day. You can always message me in the app for further guidance on that.
What if I miss a day?
You have the option to move and reschedule the session within the app. Click on the 3 dot button on the session you want to move and it should provide the option to move it.
What if I can only workout at home?
No stress! The sessions can be modified with dumbbells and bands only if needed. While gym access is nice, it may not always be realistic. Message me in the app if you need further guidance on how to adjust things for home!
What if I go over 40 weeks?
You can always repeat week 40 or prioritize other activity like the birth prep mobility and walking.
What's next?
After delivery, you can move forward to the Moms in Motion: Postpartum Return to Movement 6 week plan. Once you have completed that, you may choose to complete the Moms in Motion: REBUILD Postpartum plan to introduce more resistance.
