Exercise during the second trimester
Exercise during the second trimester begins to get easier for most.
Folks will often get their groove back around this time with less morning sickness and an increase in energy.
If this is you and you’re planning to exercise here are some things you can focus on as part of your routine.
👉🏼Diaphragmatic breathing, creating balance and connection to the core and pelvic floor.
👉🏼How you move through different positions, be sure to turn over to your side when moving from laying to sitting/standing.
👉🏼 Start being aware of signs of DR. You can do so by taking a peek at your belly or placing one hand during exercises. This will show up as bulging or popping up of the core midline. Modify certain exercise that cause this, to reduce the pressure.
👉🏼Total body strengthening exercises. This will help you feel supported as your body continues to change and grow and will help you feel strong during your postpartum season.
