Hi Everyone!
It’s time for a brand new workout! This workout focuses on Legs, Cardio & Core. I use a dumbbell, but if you don’t have one you can complete the exercises with body weight only. Focus on keeping good form for each exercise, and moving through the full range of motion. This will help you maximize the muscle activation and get the most benefits out of the workout.
I am almost 31-Weeks Pregnant now, but even if you aren’t pregnant this is a great workout! Move at your own pace, and push yourself to get in your maximum number of repetitions. I also posted the breakdown for those of you that prefer Reps over Timed exercises.
All of the core exercises in this workout are pregnancy safe, but they are still effective if you aren’t pregnant. I am incorporating exercises to activate the pelvic floor and transverse abdominals. I am hoping to prevent abdominal separation during my pregnancy (diastasis recti) by keeping my core strong throughout my pregnancy.
These are the workouts I posted this week. They are primarily from the BenderFitness archives so I can keep challenging everyone with great workouts throughout my pregnancy:

I hope you enjoy today’s workout!
