Workout ideas?

Question

Hello everyone! I’m 21 weeks and have noticed my thighs are starting to look flabby as well as my arms! What are some pregnancy safe workouts I could do to tone up before the big day??

Answer

I’ve been doing just a short routine of regular bodyweight squats and lunges at home 3 days per week and daily walks from my house to keep my legs and butt toned.  
I do 30 squats with wide legs with toes facing out, 30 regular ones, and 30 narrow leg squats, then 40 alternating back lunges. That’s the whole routine 3 days weekly. Then I also do a good brisk walk just around the neighborhood for 30 minutes 5 days per week. My legs are looking pretty decent from keeping this up and it really makes me feel better with my mood and energy. I NEVER feel like it bc I’ve had the worst pregnancy symptoms, pain, and no sleep, but I thank myself every time for making the effort. 
It’s not too late to start! You could do a smaller number of the reps for the squats like start with 15 each, and maybe a 15-30 minute daily walk. They do say that childbirth goes better if you have been squatting and lunging, and it will feel good to get exercise in now while you have the time since it’s hard to do much at first with a newborn. I would also get a jogger stroller so that you are already planning to take walks with your baby and work off the baby weight.  I think not enough emphasis is given to caring for yourself as a new mother - so much focus is on caring for your baby, but I do think it makes us better mothers when we feel better about our bodies and we take good care of ourselves. I hope that helps! ❤️
