Third Trimester Pregnancy Training – Part 1

I’ve

gotten back to a more normal routine (at least more normal for my pregnancy) this week. My injuries are feeling better and I’ve actually been sleeping well which has been a treat. Knock on wood!

Today’s pregnancy fun was made up of raging hormones. I felt super emotional and really just not like myself most of the day. Finally I took a 3pm walk with my coworker and I feel like myself again. Phew…I hate when you can’t snap out of a funk, especially where there is no reason for the funk in the first place. (Side note: my coworker and I are such old ladies now. We put on our sneaks with our work clothes and walk every afternoon. I don’t even mind feeling like an old lady in my outfit because the fresh air and break from office air make it SO worth it.) I’m so not cut out to sit all day long.

Here’s an example of a strength workout that I have been doing in my third trimester.

Warm up/sweat:

• Arc Trainer: 10 minutes

Part 1:

• Renegade Rows (alternating L/R – 16 total with 15LB Dumbbells)
• Kettlebell Goblet Squats (8 squats with 10K Kettlebell)

Repeat 3 times.

Part 2:

• Kettlebell Clean and Press (5R/5L with 12K Kettlebell)
• Kettlebell Deadlift (8 Deadlifts with a 20K Kettlebell)
• Side Plank (40 Seconds R / 40 Seconds L)
• Double Kettlebell Snatches (5 Snatches with 18K Kettlebells)

Repeat 3 times.

This is a similar workout to what I would do if I was not pregnant, but I would just up the intensity with additional reps and/or heavier Kettlebells.

Happy Almost Friday!
