Pregnancy Yoga: The Mainstay of Pregnancy Period

You can better prepare for the challenges of pregnancy and birth by practicing yoga while pregnant. You may be familiar with the gentler form of yoga that you see and hear about during pregnancy. The postures will be modified to make them safe for pregnant women.

You will learn breathing exercises from your Pregnancy Yoga trainer, which can be very helpful during labor. Additionally, you will learn how to cope with pregnancy-related stress and anxiety.

During the nine months that a pregnant woman is expecting, pregnancy yoga is like having a friend. It helps her deal with the physical, mental, and emotional stress of childbirth. It helps deal with mood swings, anxiety, and irrational fear of childbirth. By bringing about a heightened awareness of the body and its capacity to deliver safely, yoga boosts confidence and self-control. The mother and her unborn child form a profound bond through yogic meditation, which reaches out to the infant.

Women who practice pregnancy yoga experience stability, tranquility, stillness, relaxation, and strength, which significantly reduces anxiety. It addresses the typical health issues that arise during pregnancy, such as high blood pressure, excessive weight gain, nausea, mood swings, and an overwhelming sense of fatigue. Yoga helps women quickly return to their original shape after childbirth and corrects any physical malformations that may have occurred.

Practice pregnancy yoga during the nine months of pregnancy.

During the nine months of pregnancy, practice pregnancy yoga. This helps women feel the benefits of muscular relaxation in the area of the cervix and birth canal, allowing the pelvis to dilate, and easing labor. During the third trimester, third trimester yoga helps to alleviate fluid retention, thereby reducing cramping. It delicately keeps the body active and flexible to bear the strain positively which would somehow have devastating results.

During the second trimester, when the woman’s weight increases and the fetus grows, pregnancy yoga helps shift her center of gravity. By focusing on the muscles in the legs and abdomen, yoga assists in adapting to change. Yoga strengthens and tones the leg muscles so that they can support the weight of a growing baby. It also causes the abdominal muscles to stretch in the right places to accommodate the growing baby.

You were a few months pregnant and every time you felt like you were adjusting to the size of your bump, it seemed to get bigger. When you found out you were pregnant, your husband, Bokuto Koutarou, had been moved to tears and there was no lack of support from him so far through the pregnancy. That’s why you weren’t afraid to communicate your troubles to him as they started plaguing your mind.

As it got more difficult to adjust to your body changing, the two of you sat down to research pregnancy activities. And then Koutarou got bored of researching, so he ended up asking someone on the team who had kids instead.

That’s how he learnt about pregnancy yoga. There were classes specifically for pregnant women, and in his excitement, Koutarou had signed you up and encouraged you to go. However, now he was looking at you with a subtle pout as you leaned on the kitchen island, not feeling as sporty as you wished you did.

“I don’t want to go. What if all the others are used to it and do super well while I can barely do anything?” you complained, pouting right back at him. This made him huff, resting his arms on his hips. Then his eyes lit up again. Oh no, an idea.

“Maybe I should go with you!”

Next thing you knew, Koutarou was helping you out of the car, adorned in the gym wear he had that most resembled yours in colour. You were laughing softly, holding his hand as he babbled about how excited he was.

When you walked inside, your laughter died down as you scanned the room. A lot of moms-to-be were staring cautiously, first at you and then at your husband who smiled and waved. You felt the anxiety creep back into you as you whispered your husband's name to alert him, but he took no notice.

“Hello, ladies! Ready for a good workout?” he called out, and it didn’t take long before the moms melted for his personality (and looks probably, but you tried to ignore that for now). In the end, he wasn’t allowed inside the class because of the women's comfort, but he gave everyone encouraging high fives while the trainer led them inside the little gym. Before closing the door behind you as you were last, you turned to him and pulled his shirt down so you could kiss him fiercely.

“That’s for being such a perfect man. I’ll see you in an hour.”

Koutarou was thrilled to see the glow back in your cheeks when you came back out. He had gone for a jog around the neighbourhood but made sure he was back before you finished. When you walked out of the class, you were conversing happily with another woman before bidding her goodbye. You made new friends! Even though you were still shy, you had asked to exchange numbers.

All of this was possible because your husband encouraged and supported you. You truly were blessed to have him and he reminded you every day how lucky you were through this constant support.

Now you even bring him into the living room at least once a week so the two of you can do pregnancy yoga by following some videos you found on YouTube. It’s great fun and Koutarou proudly documents it in the workout journal they fill out for their trainer.

Iwaizumi tilted his head at him curiously after looking over this month’s notes. “You’re not supposed to write your wife’s workouts.”

“We’re doing them at home now, too. Feel like it’s doing great things for my bum,” he answered, one hand on each asscheek for emphasis. Iwaizumi already regretted asking about it. Atsumu slapped one of Koutarou's hands off from behind him before staring at his butt and humming.

“Not bad. Maybe we should all do it.”

To say the least, Koutarou is very dedicated to being with you every step of the way.

125. Cheers to a New Friendship 🥂

Life in their new place was settling into a comfortable routine, though Lana found herself mostly resting.

The pregnancy was still taking its toll, leaving her often nauseous and exhausted. The medications added to the fatigue, so she spent much of her time in bed.

Conrad, however, kept busy with his studies and small comedy scriptwriting gigs. The pay wasn’t great, and he knew he needed to find something more stable soon.

One afternoon, at the gym, Conrad met Ash, a fitness trainer who lived just across the street with his girlfriend Elis and her younger brother Ben. They had recently moved from Windenburg, not long ago, and were settling into the neighborhood as well.

The two hit it off instantly, bonding over sports and healthy living. Conrad invited Ash and Elis over for a New Year’s celebration, hoping it would lift Lana’s spirits.

Lana’s mood brightened when Conrad announced that he had invited their new neighbors over.

They prepared a lovely holiday dinner with candles, flowers, and elegant dinnerware. Lana also prepared small gifts for their guests.

When Ash and Elis arrived, they greeted them with smiles, carrying gifts and admiring the cozy atmosphere.

“Wow, you guys really went all out! This looks amazing,” Elis said.

Lana smiled brightly, despite her exhaustion. “Thank you! I’m so glad you like it. Please, make yourselves at home.”

“Happy New Year!” Ash said, holding up a bottle of champagne.

The evening went smoothly, with Lana and Elis bonding over art and yoga.

Elis is an artist, currently studying and working as a freelance painter. She shared her dream of one day opening her own gallery.

Lana was thrilled to have someone to talk to about yoga, as she had loved it since childhood.

“Let’s go to yoga classes together sometime,” Elis suggested.

“I’d love that!” Lana smiled, excited about the idea.

Meanwhile, Conrad and Ash bonded over their shared love for outdoor activities.

Conrad mentioned his passion for horses, and Ash immediately insisted they go to a horse race together.

Ash grinned, excited. "Damn, I've always wanted to visit a horse race!"

Conrad's eyes lit up. "We should totally go to one together!"

Ash also offered to help Lana with light prenatal exercises to ease her back pain.

“I can show you some gentle workouts that’ll make a big difference.”

“Thank you, Ash. That means a lot,” Lana smiled.

The night continued with easy conversation, exchanging presents, and taking photos to capture the moment.

By the time they said their goodbyes, both Conrad and Lana felt great.

Lana’s spirit was definitely lifted.

It was the perfect start to what felt like the beginning of a lasting friendship.

The evening was just what they needed—a chance to relax, make new friends, and celebrate the New Year with people who already felt like a part of their lives.

4 things you can do to feel better physically- fast, easy, and (mostly) free.

As your Friendly Neighborhood Personal Trainer, I know full well just how difficult it is to keep up with physical health. There are a lot of different factors and limitations (financial, time, spoons, disability, etc) that affect how we take care of ourselves.

It can also be super expensive. I fully believe in the value of the service I provide, (and I also need to pay rent) but I recognize that having a personal trainer or coach is a luxury. So I thought I'd share four things you can do every day to improve your physical health. They're simple, scientifically backed, and have little to no cost.

DISCLAIMER: I am a certified personal trainer, not a medical doctor or registered dietician. While I do a ton of research, reccomend all of these things to my clients, and do them myself-- there is no substitute for the advice of your primary care provider. Please please please take the time to critically examine any health advice you find online.

Sound good? Alrighty, here goes.

#1: Hydrate (no seriously)

Yes, I'm starting off with something super generic, but I cannot emphasize enough how much your hydration levels impact your body.

When you're dehydrated, blood thickens, so your heart has to work harder to pump blood through your system. You end up using more energy to do the same task.

More importantly, hydration is critical for brain function. One study using driving simulators found that being mildly dehydrated can have the same effect on cognition as being mildly intoxicated.

The only liquid that dehydrates you is alcohol. Obviously water is ideal, but getting any fluid into your system helps. Bonus points if you include electrolytes, as they help maintain the balance of fluid throughout our tissues. (Liquid IV, gatorade, and coconut water are all easy options.)

#2: Eat fruit

Fruit is a nutritional powerhouse. You've got fiber, antioxidents, vitamins, and fructose.

Fructose is a type of sugar, make no mistake. But your brain needs sugar, to the point where we even have a fancy process called "gluconeogenesis" to make more to feed our cells.

Fructose is amazing though. It's lower on the glycemic index than sucrose or glucose, making it a good choice for those that have to watch their blood sugar levels more closely. It's slower digesting which when paired with the fiber in fruit that also slows digestion, you don't get crazy energy spikes or crashes.

It's also hydrating! Fruit makes a great snack thanks to this combo of hydration and the natural energy boost from the fructose.

#3: Stretch

Yes, also generic as hell, but also very very important. If you want to be able to get up and down from the floor easily, reach for things on high shelves, or do your favorite forms of physical activity for a long time-- you need to stretch regularly.

Our muscles, bones, and joints are covered with layers of supportive connective tissue called fascia. When we're sedentary (because of occupation, pregnancy, injury, disability, depression etc) then that web of tissue gets tangled and almost matted. It can tangle so much that it actually becomes painful to move. Which, of course, makes the problem worse.

Anything is better than nothing, but stretching your joints a little and often will be more sustainable than trying to jump into an hour long yoga class. There are tons of free videos on youtube by certified instructors, including ones made for people with mobility issues.

For bonus points- spend some time doing inversions, or having your head upside down. This helps with the next thing.

#4: Massage

Sounds weird, but trust me.

Like our circulatory system, our lymphatic system helps remove waste from tissues. But the lymphatic system doesn't have a pump to help move the lymphatic fluid like blood is pumped through our veins.

There's lots of ways to help the lymphatic system- hot/cold therapy and physical activity are some of the easiest. (Inversions, like in yoga, are super helpful for getting lymph to move against gravity)

But massage, dry brushing, or acupressure are all great for the lymphatic system and can be done even if you're exhausted, out of spoons, or have limited mobility. Roll a tennis ball firmly along your major muscles and joints to help improve circulation, stimulate lymphatic flow, and work out some of that fascia I mentioned earlier. For an increased effect, use one of those dog toys with the textured surface. Might feel silly, but it works.

There you go! Four ways to help you make keeping up with your physical health a little less overwhelming and complicated.

Just remember that you're a skeleton trapped inside a meat suit and you deserve to be respected, loved, and enjoy life regardless of how your body looks, what it can do, or how much profit it can make for someone else.

Motherhood with Prenatal Yoga: A Path to a Healthy Pregnancy

Motherhood with Prenatal Yoga: A Path to a Healthy Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a transformative journey, and taking care of both physical and mental well-being is crucial for moms-to-be. Prenatal Yoga Classes at Home and Online Pregnancy Yoga Classes provide an effective and accessible way to support a smooth pregnancy while preparing the body for childbirth.

Why Every Expecting Mother Should Consider Pregnancy Yoga

Ease Pregnancy Discomfort with Gentle Movements

Pregnancy brings natural changes to the body, often causing back pain, swollen feet, and fatigue. Pregnancy Yoga Classes help strengthen core muscles, improve posture, and enhance flexibility, ensuring better comfort throughout all trimesters. Specific yoga poses like the Cat-Cow stretch and Butterfly pose relieve lower back pain and improve circulation. Additionally, yoga helps in opening up the hips and pelvis, making movement and daily activities more comfortable as pregnancy progresses.

Reduce Stress & Enhance Emotional Well-Being

Hormonal shifts during pregnancy can trigger anxiety and mood swings. Practicing Yoga for Pregnant Women incorporates deep breathing and mindfulness techniques, helping mothers stay calm, focused, and emotionally balanced. Techniques such as guided meditation, alternate nostril breathing, and deep belly breathing help in reducing cortisol levels, the stress hormone, leading to a more peaceful and joyful pregnancy. Emotional support through yoga also fosters a deep connection between the mother and the baby, enhancing maternal bonding.

Improve Circulation & Boost Energy Levels

Fatigue is a common concern among pregnant women, especially during the first and third trimesters. Engaging in Yoga Classes for Pregnant Women at Home promotes better blood circulation, reduces swelling, and boosts energy, making daily activities easier and more comfortable. Simple practices like leg elevation, seated spinal twists, and slow-paced Sun Salutations improve oxygen flow to the baby and alleviate symptoms of dizziness and exhaustion. Regular yoga practice also enhances lung capacity, ensuring that both mother and baby receive sufficient oxygen.

Better Sleep & Relaxation

Struggling with sleep due to discomfort? Prenatal Yoga Classes at Home introduce relaxation techniques that help regulate sleep patterns, ensuring much-needed rest for both the mother and baby. Techniques such as Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep), supported reclining poses, and gentle back stretches help calm the nervous system, reduce nighttime restlessness, and encourage deep sleep. Studies have shown that prenatal yoga reduces instances of insomnia and improves overall sleep quality in pregnant women.

Prepare for Labor with the Best Prenatal Yoga Trainers

One of the biggest advantages of Pregnancy Yoga Classes is the preparation for labor and delivery. Guided sessions by Best Prenatal Yoga Trainers teach breathing techniques and gentle stretches that promote an easier birthing experience. Poses like the Squat Pose and Pelvic Tilts enhance pelvic strength and flexibility, which is essential for a smooth labor. Breathing techniques like Ujjayi breathing help manage labor pain by keeping the body and mind relaxed during contractions. Practicing yoga under expert supervision ensures that expecting mothers get the right guidance tailored to their trimester and specific health needs.

Online Pregnancy Yoga vs. Traditional Studio Classes

While traditional studio classes offer in-person interaction and community support, Online Pregnancy Yoga Classes provide unmatched flexibility and convenience. Expecting mothers can practice from the comfort of their homes without the hassle of commuting, making it easier to fit sessions into their daily routines. Online classes often offer personalized guidance, ensuring that each session is tailored to the individual’s trimester and comfort level. They are also cost-effective, with affordable packages that eliminate additional expenses such as travel and studio fees.

Prevent health problems by strengthening your pelvic floor through hip-opening postures. Yoga classes for pregnant women at home will help with constipation, any urinary or bladder problems, lower back or abdominal pain and painful intercourse. You will be able to carry your baby more comfortably during pregnancy. Squatting in malasana is one of the best positions for a natural birth. It will also help you during your postpartum recovery.

Pregnancy Yoga Classes Can Help Alleviate Symptoms of Pain Such as Nausea, Cramps, Morning Sickness, and Headaches:

These are common discomforts that come along with pregnancy, and can be relieved. Bring more oxygen to your body through deep breathing, muscle stretching and increase your blood circulation.

Decrease Lower Back Pain:

Through different postures you will work on your abdominal muscles to keep them strong, as well as the back, which will release any aches or pains caused by tension.

Nurture and Support Yourself on Your Journey to Childbirth:

This is a holistic approach to childbirth — strengthen your physical and emotional health through the balance of yoga while also finding community. Connect to other expecting mothers in this beautiful realm of preparing for motherhood.

Reclaiming Your Strength: Postpartum Workout Classes for New Mothers

Motherhood is an incredible journey filled with joy, challenges, and new beginnings. After childbirth, many women face the challenge of regaining their physical strength and emotional well-being. Postpartum workout classes offer a supportive environment where mothers can focus on healing, strengthening their bodies, and building confidence. At BStudios, these classes are designed to cater specifically to the needs of postpartum women, ensuring they embark on a healthy recovery journey.

The Importance of Postpartum Workouts

The postpartum phase, also known as the fourth trimester, is a critical time for recovery. The body undergoes numerous changes during pregnancy and childbirth, including shifts in posture, muscle tone, and hormonal balance. Postpartum workout classes are not just about shedding weight but are tailored to:

Restore Core Strength: Pregnancy often weakens the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Proper exercises help restore these areas, reducing the risk of complications like diastasis recti or urinary incontinence.

Improve Mental Well-being: Exercise releases endorphins, which boost mood and combat postpartum depression.

Increase Energy Levels: Gentle workouts help improve circulation and stamina, counteracting the fatigue that often accompanies new motherhood.

Create Community Connections: Postpartum workout classes provide a space for mothers to connect, share experiences, and support each other.

What Makes Postpartum Workout Classes Unique?

Unlike standard fitness routines, postpartum workouts prioritize safety and gradual progression. At BStudios, the classes are led by experts who understand the unique needs of postpartum bodies. Here’s what sets these classes apart:

Tailored Exercises: The programs include low-impact workouts such as yoga, Pilates, and bodyweight exercises that focus on rebuilding strength without putting undue strain on the body.

Focus on Core and Pelvic Floor Recovery: These areas are the foundation of postpartum fitness, with exercises designed to gently re-engage these muscles.

Breastfeeding-Friendly Options: Understanding the needs of nursing mothers, the schedules and intensity of the classes are adaptable.

Baby-Friendly Environment: Some classes allow mothers to bring their babies, turning workout time into a bonding experience.

Benefits of Joining Postpartum Workout Classes

Physical Recovery: Targeted exercises help address specific postpartum concerns like back pain, posture issues, and weak muscles. Over time, mothers experience improved flexibility, balance, and overall strength.

Emotional Support: Group classes foster a sense of community, reminding mothers that they are not alone in their recovery journey.

Personalized Attention: Trainers at BStudios ensure every mother receives personalized care to avoid injuries and achieve optimal results.

Time for Self-Care: Postpartum workout classes offer a much-needed break for mothers to focus on their health, boosting self-esteem and confidence.

When to Start Postpartum Workouts?

Every mother's recovery timeline is unique. It’s essential to consult a healthcare provider before starting any exercise program. Most women can begin gentle postpartum exercises six weeks after a vaginal delivery and about eight weeks post-C-section, depending on individual healing.

What to Expect at BStudios’ Postpartum Workout Classes

At BStudios, postpartum workout classes are designed with care and expertise. Mothers can expect:

Warm-Up Sessions: To ease into the workout, the warm-ups focus on increasing circulation and preparing the body for movement.

Core and Pelvic Floor Exercises: These form the backbone of every session, emphasizing gentle strengthening techniques.

Strength and Flexibility Training: Using light resistance and stretching, these exercises promote overall recovery.

Relaxation and Breathing Techniques: Ending each session with mindfulness practices ensures mothers leave feeling rejuvenated.

Tips for Maximizing Postpartum Workouts

Listen to Your Body: Start slow and progress gradually. If something feels uncomfortable, stop and seek guidance.

Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Proper hydration and nutrition are essential for energy and recovery.

Wear Supportive Gear: Invest in a good quality sports bra and comfortable workout clothes.

Stay Consistent: Regular attendance will yield the best results.

Join the Postpartum Fitness Movement

Postpartum workout classes are more than just fitness sessions—they’re a gateway to renewed strength, health, and confidence. With expert-led programs like those at BStudios, mothers can embark on a holistic journey toward recovery and well-being.

Celebrate your postpartum body by giving it the care and attention it deserves. Join a postpartum workout class today and experience the transformative power of movement and community.

It wasn’t long into my second trimester until the pregnancy pains really started kicking in. I’d been lucky enough to feel relatively comfortable at first, but as baby kept growing, my lower back eventually started complaining, then crying, and eventually screaming (preparation for motherhood, you could say). Even though prenatal yoga helped me feel more comfortable, I knew I had to add a little resistance to my routine. In my search for the most useful pregnancy exercises, I found one that I ultimately fell in love with and still rely on as a mom of two little ones. If you want to get stronger while embracing the incredible transformation that is pregnancy, the seated good morning exercise might just become your new best friend. Not only can it help alleviate some of that pregnancy discomfort, but it may also improve your overall mobility and posture. “The good morning is a great movement all around—pregnant or not,” says Arnit Demesmin, CPT, certified personal trainer and pre/postnatal fitness expert. “It's a movement that specifically targets those muscles we want to strengthen as our belly expands.” The best part is, it's gentle enough to fit into your routine without putting too much strain on your body. So grab a chair, and let’s dive into why this simple-yet-effective move should be on everyone's workout list. How to do the seated good morning with proper form Equipment needed: A sturdy chair or bench Optional: resistance band or light weights (for added resistance) Your browser does not support the video tag. Make sure your chair or bench is stable. Sit on the edge with your knees bent at about a 45-degree angle and your feet pressed firmly into the ground, hip-width apart. Sit up tall with your back straight. Relax your shoulders down and back. Place your hands behind your head with your elbows out wide. For more stability, you can cross your arms over your chest. Engage your core to support your back throughout the movement. Inhale deeply, then hinge forward from your hips, Lowering your torso toward the floor while keeping your back straight and chest lifted. Your upper body should lean forward while your hips remain back. Continue to lower until you feel a gentle stretch along the backs of your thighs. Try to avoid rounding your back. Focus on creating a straight line from your head to your tailbone. Exhale to slowly raise your torso back up to the starting position, keeping your glutes and core engaged the entire time. That’s one rep. Perform one to two sets of 10 to 15 reps, maintaining good form and taking breaks when needed. After completing your workout, make sure to sit upright for a moment and take a few deep breaths before you get up and walk around. The muscles you'll work doing the seated good morning “During and after pregnancy, your center of gravity and muscle length, mobility and strength change significantly,” says Judith Meer, PT, DPT, a pelvic rehabilitation specialist and founder of The Pelvic PT. “Strengthening the glutes, hamstrings and lower back muscles are key to maintaining pelvic and spinal strength and alignment when you’re pregnant.” 1. Hamstrings and glutes As you bend forward, your hamstrings, or the long muscles at the backs of your thighs, are activated to help control the movement. As you return to an upright position, your glutes (or your butt muscles) contract to help lift you back up. 2. Abs and back The erector spinae, a group of muscles that runs along your spine, activate to keep your back straight. Working these muscles helps build strength in your lower back, which helps with everyday movements and can prevent lower back pain. “Having a strong back alleviates the stress on your spine and helps with mobility,” Demesmin says. “It also prepares us for postpartum recovery once we need to start lifting things off the floor and carrying car seats and diaper bags.” And finally, this move engages abdominal muscles, which keep your upper body stable and upright as you move.

“The good morning is a great movement all around—pregnant or not.” —Arnit Demesmin, CPT The benefits of the seated good morning One of the biggest advantages of the seated good morning is it activates and strengthens the entire back of your body—specifically your hamstrings, glutes, and lower back—without placing too much strain on your body. “In my opinion, the core, spine and lower body are the most important areas to train during pregnancy,” Demesmin says. With all the changes in your weight distribution and posture, strengthening these muscles can help support you and relieve pain and discomfort. 1. It improves core stability and support We get it: You’re probably not thinking about crunching your way to a six-pack if you’re pregnant—but that doesn’t mean you should ignore your core. In pregnancy, your core muscles become weak from stretching over your growing belly, which can lead to issues like back pain and pelvic floor dysfunction, according to the Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin (OHOW). “Core strength is so important as our belly grows in pregnancy and our center of gravity changes,” Demesmin says. “Working on your core strength helps with posture and balance, and lowers your risk and severity of diastasis recti,” Demesmin says. It’s true: A strong core provides essential support for the growing belly and can help mitigate back pain, which is a common complaint among pregnant people, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Working your glutes is also essential for stabilization during pregnancy. “Good mornings strengthen your glutes, improving lower body strength and power,” Demesmin says. “It improves our hip hinge movement, which is so important for preventing injury or back pain.” 2. It boosts flexibility and mobility Doing a few sets of seated good mornings can improve flexibility in your hamstrings and hips, which are areas that can become tight thanks to the extra weight and postural changes when you’re pregnant. More flexibility and mobility makes daily activities more comfortable, which is especially helpful in those later stages of pregnancy. 3. It's low-impact and adaptable for all fitness levels What I loved the most about this move was I was able to modify it to accommodate my needs in every stage of my pregnancy. You can do it with body weight or light resistance (using dumbbells or a barbell, which is what I did) to tailor it to your fitness level and comfort. Not to mention, this seated exercise was ideal in more ways than one. Sitting provides support and stability, which lowers your risk of falling or losing balance. Plus, there are some days in pregnancy when sitting just feels like a better option than standing—no judgment! Common mistakes and how to avoid them When you’re doing the seated good morning exercise, make sure to watch out for these common pitfalls: Rounding your back instead of keeping it straight: Think of it as your spine's moment to shine, not slouch. Using too much momentum: Don’t swing your way through the move. Make sure to engage those core muscles to control the motion and really feel the stretch. Not keeping your feet planted firmly: If they start to slide or lift, your muscles won��t engage properly and you’ll lose stability. Safety tips To do a seated good morning, here are a few additional tips to help you stay safe. As always, talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine. Be sure that you’re eating enough and staying hydrated throughout the day. Start with your body weight, then add resistance as you get more comfortable. Focus on slow, controlled movements. Listen to your body and stop if you feel any pain or discomfort. After completing your workout, make sure to sit upright on your chair or bench for a moment and take a few deep breaths before getting up. How to add it to your exercise routine If you’re ready to add the seated good morning to your fitness routine, aim for two to three workouts a week, giving your body time to adapt and grow stronger.

Try doing two to three sets of 10 to 15 reps, which should give you a nice burn without feeling like you’re overdoing it. If you're feeling confident, gradually increase the reps or add some light weights to challenge yourself. And remember, during (and after) pregnancy, it’s all about quality over quantity—focus on your form to maximize the benefits of your workout. Pair it with some of your favorite stretches or other gentle exercises, and you’ll be well on your way to a strong, healthy pregnancy and postpartum.
