Are you pregnant and wondering if your favorite workouts are still safe? Or maybe you’ve heard conflicting advice about what you can and can’t do during pregnancy — and it’s left you feeling confused, cautious, or even scared to move at all.
The truth is: you don’t have to stop exercising during pregnancy — you just need to make smart modifications. 💪✨
In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, I’m breaking down the best pregnancy exercise modifications that keep you strong, support your pelvic floor, and prepare your body for both birth and postpartum recovery.
Here’s what you’ll learn inside this episode:
✅ The Top 5 Exercise Modifications for Pregnancy including breathwork swaps, core and plank variations, safe squat + lunge setups, adjusting for impact, and when to stop lying flat on your back.
✅ How to recognize your body’s red flags (coning/doming, leaking, heaviness, or pain) and adapt in real time.
✅ Why listening to your body’s boundaries during pregnancy is the ultimate form of empowerment — not weakness.
✅ How these pregnancy-safe exercises set you up for a smoother postpartum recovery.
Whether you’re in your first trimester or third trimester, these safe pregnancy workout tips will give you confidence and clarity. You’ll walk away knowing how to modify without fear, so you can stay active, protect your core and pelvic floor, and feel strong in your changing body.
