  1. Healthy Pregnancy Workouts inthethirdtrimester

  2. General Recommendations For Third Trimester Activity The most quoted research about working out during pregnancy comes from James F. Clapp III and Catherine Cram’s book “Exercising through your Pregnancy”. They found that many of the benefits were lost if a woman stopped exercising during the third trimester. So keep going, Mama! In terms of general recommendations, there are not too many changes from the second trimester.

  3. Cardio At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week Any activity which increases your heart rate, gets you breathing heavily and sweating You should still be able to talk, but not sing If you were very active pre-pregnancy, you can work at a higher intensity, but don’t let yourself get exhausted

  4. Strength Strength training 2-3 times each week to stay strong and stable Reduce the weight you lift by about 25% compared to pre-pregnancy Start with bodyweight exercises if you didn’t do strength training pre-pregnancy Consider working with a personal trainer specialising in pre-natal exercise

  5. Flexibility Stretch after every workout Aim to maintain flexibility, now is not the time to increase flexibility Do not over-stretch. Remember that hormone relaxin? It’s still there and makes you more injury-prone, so don’t push it on your stretches Pregnancy yoga is a good option as the moves will all be safe to perform during pregnancy

  6. PelvicFloorExercises Continue with your pelvic floor exercises Remember to learn how to relax the pelvic floor muscles, as this is important for labour

  7. RestandRecovery Allow time to recover in between workouts Don’t let yourself become exhausted during your training sessions
