CONGRATULATIONS to all of the women who are with child out there!

Here is a ½-hour Lauren Hefez routine that you can do throughout your pregnancy

Please get the green light from your OB-GYN or Midwife on reasonable workout levels before and after you give birth.

Rules of Thumb: If you’re able to engage in physical activity, please put yourself & your baby(ies) 1st …

  • Lamaze classes to prep for child birth is #1!!!
  • Light & easy leg work (i.e., walking) would be best
  • Limit lifting with your arms (body weight or light)
  • NO core ~ just maintain back posture & balance

With many of my special loved ones being moms or mommies-to-be, they’re not just “eating for 2” (or more) ~ they’re also exercising for multiples as well!
