Strength training has always been a part of my workout routine, and since being pregnant I’ve had to make a few adjustments to many of my usual exercises, but making these modifications have been exciting and I feel like I’ve been adding a refreshing twist to how I would usually do things. For example check out the first picture above of me doing a lunge variation:
I’m holding the dumbbell in one arm which requires more balance, activation and stabilization from my core and as a bring my back leg forward again, I bring the knee up instead of planting it on the floor next to my other foot which really works on building better balance and glutes on the supporting leg.
I’ve even been applying some of these exercises to my clients programs because their added benefits include better posture, balance and a stronger core.
