Whatever work outs you were doing before you got pregnant, you can continue throughout pregnancy as long as your comfortable. Modification is your choice if you start to get too big or uncomfortable, but baby is always fine as long as your doing same types of exercises you were doing before and can hold a convo while working out (enough oxygen.) on my 3rd pregnancy now and have had multiple conversations about this with my doctor. ❤ love her videos, she is so beautiful!!
If you were doing crunches, sit-ups etc and working your sixpack muscle before and you continue doing those throughout pregnancy you have a high risk of getting a severe Diastasis Recti. It won’t harm the baby - that’s true. But it will harm the body of a mother. Same with jumps. It is a lot of pressure on the pelvic floor on top of the extra weight you have during pregnancy. But same thing - it won’t harm baby but it’s not good for the body of the mother 💕
@@FitWithSally this is so strange, my OBGYN doctor told me continuing sit ups and ab exercises can actually help with diasastic recti (pretty sure I spelled that wrong sorry.) I agree with jumping as you get bigger yes. But even still my doctor said I can continue HITT workouts as I was doing previous to pregnancy, as long as I’m comfortable. I listen to my body and modify as needed.
@@shelbywilliams1603, if you've been doing all of that for 3 pregnancies and have not developed diatasis recti then maybe it is okay for you, but I would think Sally's recommendation is the most accurate. There are abdominal exercises that are appropriate for pregnancy, but I've definitely heard that crunches and sit ups can cause and exacerbate dr. Unfortunately, an obgyn is not the best source of accurate information on this as they are medically trained and would only have a cursory knowledge regarding exercise and pregnancy. The expert on this would be a physical therapist. Also, there could be issues caused that you may be unaware of. Jumping would be bad for your pelvic floor, and if you had any pf dysfunction, such as urine leakage with sneezing, incontinence, or painful sex, it'd be hard to know if the cause was these exercises or effects from pregnancy and birth. Also, doing exercises not tailored for pregnancy can impede the labor process for some women, as it's more beneficial to strengthen particular muscles that aid in labor and delivery and strengthening muscles that you normally would could work against you. For instance, certain very tight muscles could make it harder for your baby to descend into the pelvis in and before labor.
As pregnancy progresses, the abdominal muscles sort of separate down the middle and angle away from the center. This makes things that involve bending forward, like sit ups, difficult. Aside from that you've got a different center of gravity and different blood pressure to deal with as well.
Listen to your body. If it feels right, do it. If it doesn't feel quite right, modify it. It'll be different for everyone and keep in mind that just because we're pregnant doesn't mean we're too delicate to work hard
@@emmaashburn3373I wouldn’t say work hard I’d say keep fit. Women shouldn’t be “working hard” during pregnancy. Exercise is good for us but I think that’s some women can’t do all this. I went into preterm labor because of that mindset and I want ladies to be careful because some can handle it some can’t. And that certainly doesn’t mean they aren’t working “hard”.
I get all the other modifications, but what is the rationale for doing a side plank? Aside from maybe your belly touching the floor if you were big enough lol.
In the 030 you adapt the burpee or the scroll with a pregnant variation, but I’m still capable to do it, in week 23 so is this wrong for pelvic floor and I should adapt it? Thanks
I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I was still doing usual "unmodified" moves until I hit the third trimester. It's just about what feels comfortable and what you're used to so if you usually do a lot of exercise and your body is ok doing the non modified exercises then carry on. I only had to stop when I got to about 30 weeks as the extra weight really started doing a number on my back so I take it easy now and don't do any jumping.
Bending at the knees while keeping your back straight is how you *should* bend while pregnant… it’s the only way to pick anything up lower than your hip 😂 the no-no is hinging at the waist to bend over, because that puts the full weight of the baby on your back and restricts blood flow.
The funny thing is, of you're pregnant it's likely you'll get the same sweat out of this modified workouts 😅
Love that! I have been struggling with Triceps exercises because I used to do them laying on my back…

I’m still jumping at 24 weeks and I’m feeling fine
thats great!
When r these modifications required? What if I’m not showing yet, can I do the normal moves?
I don't think so still

What if a pregnant woman does the non pregnant exercise ?
Go for it! I don't do jumping exercises because I don't like the impact on my joints😊
Beautiful
I'm pregnant 22 weeks and I like jumping like almost like " not-pregnant" by "embracing" my baby in my womb.
When can i start this ?
So you can’t jump, even a little, while pregnant?
You can’t do jumping jacks pregnant
I get all the other modifications, but what is the rationale for doing a side plank? Aside from maybe your belly touching the floor if you were big enough lol.
Idk my first obgyn appointment they said no push ups or sit up and no exercise laying on your back.
@@riverofperil, maybe they think it puts too much strain on your rectus abdominus muscles? The ones that can separate in pregnancy.
Slim's haunches are amazing and astonishing....

Is it possible to squat during pregnancy with your knees together like Meghan Markle?
But in pregnancy is not good bend they say but there they are bending
