How to work your core iN your third trimester

Maintaining core strength throughout your pregnancy can be totally safe (and actually really helpful) as long as you’re listening to your body and working through prenatal friendly exercises. ‘Prenatal friendly’ exercises aren’t necessarily easier, they’re just much more focused on looking after all the parts of your core that will change the most throughout your pregnancy.

It’s all about intentional breathwork, great pelvic floor contractions and strong and safe core engagement.

You might have found you didn’t need to modify your core work much in the first and start of your second trimesters but as you head towards your due date, things are likely to be feeling different and we’ll need to make sure we’re adapting your workouts in line with that.

I filmed this third trimester core workout at around 38/39 weeks and prioritised slow and controlled movements with intentional core engagement to make sure the workout still felt challenging but achievable. Click below to give it a go and leave a comment to let me know how you get on ☺️
