Phew, what a week so far! Life has been overly busy lately and getting in my workouts is one of the things keeping me sane! My baby belly is also growing at record speed, but a good workout always makes me feel “normal” and most like myself, even though, I might not be able to lift as much as I used to or go as high intense as I’d like. I keep reminding myself, it’s not what I can’t do anymore but it is what I still can do. This motto has kept me inspired in the gym to change up some movements and challenge myself in a new way.
This workout is great for anyone preggers or seasoned gym goers. I have been doing a lot more supersets, circuits and rounds for time workouts. The barbell makes an appearance into my workouts once or twice a week now, but I am still getting in awesome workouts with body weight movements, cables, kettlebells and dumbbells. This workout is a great example of the types of workouts and movements I have been doing lately. I am doing more muscular endurance type workouts because I am needing to do exercises at lighter weights to keep aches and pains low and to condition my body for labor. Remember, it’s not what you can’t do; it’s what you can do. Get in workouts that feel good to you, that you enjoy and results will follow.
