Pregnancy & Weight training

Post by momofeaea »

I am 6 months pregnant and weight trained for about a year before I got pregnant. I do not want to quit but I want to insure that I am doing it safely and correctly now. Does anyone know a good place that shows modified weight training exercises that you can do during pregnancy?

- do only seated and standing exercises that ensures 100% balance
- no swissballs
- 10000's of pelvic tilts and every exercise you do perform that and hold it
- free wts are still ok if your form is good....if not go machines
- keep heart rate under 140bpm
- focus on glute activation, thoracic extension and core popping in some easy-ish leg and arm stuff
- stay off your back for prolonged periods of time (not that you could probably get back up anyway)
