Pregnancy exercise advice has spent a LONG time sounding like a list of things women aren’t allowed to do.
Don’t lift heavy.
Don’t run after ___ weeks.
Don’t lie on your back.
Don’t let your heart rate get too high.
Don’t start anything new.
Meanwhile… pregnancy itself is a pretty significant physical event. 😂
Here’s what we’d rather you know:
There isn’t one universally “safe” pregnancy workout—and there isn’t a magical week when running, lifting, or training suddenly becomes “unsafe.”
Your training should match your body, your pregnancy, your symptoms, your history, and your current capacity.
One woman may comfortably run at 38 weeks. Another may need to stop at 14.
Both can be making the right decision.
And if we could choose one thing we’d love more pregnant women to have in their toolbox?
Strength.
Because pregnancy asks a LOT from your body. So does birth. And then somebody hands you an increasingly heavy tiny human and expects you to carry them around for the next four years. 😏
You don’t need to be fragile.
You need to be appropriately challenged, supported, and given permission to listen to your body instead of an arbitrary rule.
Pregnant and wondering what you can keep doing—or how to modify training without giving up everything you love?
That’s our kind of problem. 💪
