Total Body Pregnancy Workout
Do the following circuit 2-3 times for a total-body sculpting routine that's perfect for all 3 trimesters. Rest for 60 seconds (or as much as you need!) between circuits. Don’t forget to take water breaks when you need ‘em!
Squat + Press
Sculpts your legs, booty, and shoulders.
Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height. Keeping your chest up and core engaged, lower into a squat position — booty back and thighs as close to parallel to the ground as possible. Driving though your heels, come back up to standing as you press the dumbbells overhead.
Do 15 reps.
Reverse Lunge + Curl
Tones your legs, booty, and biceps.
Begin standing with feet together, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Engaging your core, step your right foot back, and lower until your legs are bent at 90 degrees, and back knee is hovering just above the ground. At the same time, curl the dumbbells up to your chest. Come back up to standing by stepping the right foot forward and lowering the dumbbells back down. Repeat on the other side.
Do 12 reps on each side.
Single Arm Row + Tricep Kickback
Sculpts your back and triceps.
Begin with your left foot in front of the right, left knee slightly bent, and left hand resting on your left thigh. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand, arm extended toward the ground. Row the dumbbell up to chest height, keeping your elbow tucked closely to your side, then extend your arm straight behind you. Reverse the motion back to start position.
Do 12 reps on each side.
Bird Dog
Tones your booty, arms, and core.
Start on your hands and knees with a flat back and core engaged. Extend your right leg straight behind you as you extend your left arm in front of you. Return to start position and repeat on the other side.
Do 12 reps on each side.
Side Plank Crunch
Sculpts your obliques and shoulders.
Start in a modified side plank position propped up on your left hand with your left (bottom) knee on the ground and right (top) leg extended out straight. Reach your right arm directly overhead. Bring your right elbow to meet your right knee as you engage your obliques. Return to start position and repeat.
Do 12 reps on each side.

Dec 20 22Absolutely loved the way this article is set up, with the short clips of each workout move. I can’t sit through an entire YouTube video and pause and workout, etc, with multiple children, it’s hard enough to squeeze the workout in as it is. But it’s so helpful to have the visual aid when trying a new routine. You solved it all, with the clips of each move. Very well put together, thank you. I can’t wait to look around the rest of your site.
