🤰🏾 Fitness

By accordingtoapril

Looking to stay fit while pregnant? Here are the items that I use for everyday fitness that are affordable and you can do them right at home.

My full weekly pregnancy fitness rotation. 5️⃣ pieces of equipment- that’s it 🏋🏾‍♀️

Walking pad daily, elliptical on backup days, yoga mat for stretching, dumbbells two days a week, plus prenatal Pilates and yoga three days a week.

Here is what I’m not going to say or do regarding pregnancy fitness:
✔️ This isn’t about intensity, it’s about consistency, especially if you’re new to working out while pregnant ✔️ Getting the rest you need matters just as much as the movement itself ✔️ This routine isn’t just for pregnancy, it’s building longevity for labor and postpartum recovery too

Fitness during pregnancy doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. I’d rather have five pieces I actually use than a home gym I don’t.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant, and this is the only workout equipment I'm still using every day 🏋🏾‍♀️

I broke my walking into three short sessions, instead of one long walk I'd never actually finish.
☀️ morning
🌤️ afternoon
🌙 after dinner

But let’s get into the ☕️ about fitness and pregnancy 🤰🏾
✔️ My pace dropped from 3.0–3.5 to 2.0–2.6, and that's not a step back; that's what pregnancy actually calls for ✔️ You need the app to adjust speed in fine increments; the pad alone only moves in bigger jumps ✔️ Walking late in pregnancy isn't just "staying active”; it's actively helping position the baby for delivery

If you want low-impact movement you can actually do without leaving the house, this is for you.

I had to downgrade my dumbbell weight while pregnant, and I’m not embarrassed about it 🏋🏾‍♀️

Pre-pregnancy, I was lifting 7.5 pounds. Right now, that’s too heavy on my back; I’m back down to 5️⃣5.

Here is the thing about pregnancy 🤰🏾
✔️ If you’ve never lifted before, start with 2- and 3 lb weights; that’s genuinely where beginners and Pilates girls should live ✔️ The 5 lb range is closer to a barre workout weight, not a strength-training weight ✔️ My husband’s PowerBlock goes up to 90 lbs, and during pregnancy is not the time to become a powerlifter

This is for anyone pregnant who feels like they’re “regressing” with their weights; you’re not; you’re just being smart.
