Pregnancy Fitness
One of the biggest lessons I learned from my first pregnancy was how to maintain my strength and a healthy weight. This time around I only gained 45 lbs (healthy weight gain for my size).
The key to maintaining your weight and strength is staying active. For me staying active was my savior throughout most of my pregnancy. Not only did I attain my goal, but it helped me tremendously with my pregnancy symptoms as well as in labor, and now postpartum recovery.
I’m sharing exactly what I did in my video below:
