✔Barbell back squat.
✔Banded Dumbbell Hip thrust.

I will continue with weight training throughout my pregnancy for as long as I can for many reasons:
–
Firstly, I’ve been training in the gym for close to 10 years, so why stop just because I’m pregnant.
–
I actually enjoy working out and it makes me feel good??.
–
Just because I choose to exercise during my pregnancy, doesn’t mean every pregnant woman should exercise during their pregnancy.
–
If you are currently pregnant make sure you get cleared by your DOC/OB/MIDWIFE before performing exercise.
–
Every pregnancy is different, so don’t compare yourself to others.
–
Below are some of the stats from research conducted over the years.
–
Remember these are actual facts from scientific papers of studies that have been carried out on pregnant women ???.
–
✔Improved weight management during pregnancy and post-partum.
–
✔Reduced risk of gestational diabetes.
–
✔Reduced lower back pain.
–
✔Decreased risk of preeclampsia.
–
✔Easier labour.
–
✔Better psychological well-being, with a reduced risk of post-natal depression.
