Stretching during pregnancy has many benefits (you can see the full video and tips on our YT Chanel). ☺ Here are 3 great upper body stretches that you can do every day to help alleviate sore muscles in your neck, shoulders and upper back. 🔸Chest 🔸Triceps 🔸Neck & Shoulders Aim to hold each stretch for approx. 30 seconds or 5-8 deep breaths. When breathing concentrate on 'connecting' with your body allowing your muscles to relax in to the stretch. Enjoy. 😊 Link to the full video is here: https://youtu.be/euT_bvXcYYs #Activewear sponsored by @asicsnz #Fitpregnancy #PregnancyExercise #fitbumps #prenatalexercise #pregnancystretching

Meet my new client Karen, 22 weeks pregnant with baby #2. Karen has trained with me weekly the past 3-4 weeks. 😊 From weeks 20-23/24 tiredness and nausea can return and many mums may feel like they did during the first trimester! This is normal and often expected at around this point in #pregnancy, I always advise more rest over these weeks. Cardio may also feel much more challenging. Don't worry, I promise you at around the 24 week mark you will be feeling back to normal again! 🌟🌟 If you feel really tired and for more than 3 days in a row let your LMC know. Your iron levels could be low and it may pay to get early blood tests done. 🌟🌟 Todays exercise; Side lunge to Dumbbell press: This is a great all round body exercise. Increases core, glute and upper body strength Tips: 🔹Keep your Chest up, 🔹Lunge to the point you feel comfortable, 🔹Avoid twisting 🔹keep the dumbbell close to your body and ear as you press. Perform 3 x 10-12 reps and use a 5-8kg DB 💪😊 #fitbumps #pregnantandfit #pregnancyexercise #pregnancytips #fitpregnancy #prenatalfitness #pregexvideos

Give yourself a break ♥ Second and subsequent pregnancies can be much harder as you are looking after your other children too. You and baby will still benefit from exercising 2-3 times a week. So if this is all you can manage try not too worry. 😊🙇 #Pregnancyexercise #prenatalfitness #fitpregnancy #pregnancyhealth #fitmumstips #fitbumps
