2nd trimester
2 Seasons
For your second trimester, we now want to avoid certain moves like ab curls and lying on the belly. These workouts focus on keeping you strong, balanced and aligned as the baby bump continues to grow. Watch my intro video for more in depth information about your changing body and how Pilates can help. If you want to continue doing the other non-prenatal workouts on this platform, make sure to watch my modifications video. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have in the Forums section.
