Working Out in Second Trimester: What to Focus on and How to Adapt Your Workouts Safely

One of Kendra’s biggest frustrations during both her pregnancies was how EASY her prenatal programs were. She often felt she was being treated like a delicate flower.

This made her angry because pregnant people are strong, and because she was getting ready to give birth - one of the most physically challenging things she would ever do.

Today, we’re talking about exercises you can safely do in your second trimester of pregnancy and pulling back the curtain on our fitness program Baby Bump & Beyond, which features 30 unique workouts.

And it’s available on the Daily Burn, an on-demand fitness platform, and contains a mix of pregnancy-safe strength training, cardio, and yoga workouts, plus some tutorials about common concerns like diastasis recti and pelvic floor issues.

Months went into putting EVERYTHING we know into this program – including our hearts and a lot of sweat – and we hope moms listening can use this episode to evaluate other programs they might be considering during pregnancy training.
