Strengthen your lower body using a resistance band and ankle weights.
We’ll focus on activating the glutes, hamstrings, calves, and deep core muscles through controlled, low-impact movements designed to build strength, stability, and muscular endurance.
Moving through a four-point kneeling position with single leg extensions, pulses, curtsey knee drives, and knee-to-elbow movements, we target pelvic stability, hamstring and glute maximus strength, while gently engaging the obliques and glute medius.
We then move into a side-lying glute sequence to further challenge the outer glutes with banded clams, pulses, extensions, and circles.
A supine bridge sequence separates each side before repeating on the second side.
Strengthening these key areas can provide valuable support during pregnancy by improving posture, pelvic stability, balance, and overall body support as your body changes.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS

Please remember that each pregnancy is different, and every woman’s health and fitness level is unique, you should monitor your intensity level throughout each class, and adapt the exercises to fit your own comfort and fitness level.
