30 Day Shred modifications

Hello everyone,

Thanks in advance for your advice. I am currently 25W 3D pregnant with my first baby. I'll admit that throughout most of this pregnancy I have been pretty lazy. After a full work day, and cleaning/cooking I'm left with barely enough energy to stay up and watch a show before bed. The few times I have worked out, I've noticed that I feel better and sleep better.

I want to start doing the 30 Day shred again. I did it before I was pregnant and really liked the workout. Any advice on how to modify some of the moves for late pregnancy. I don't think I could do a lot of the jumping jacks/ jump rope/ butt kicks etc. What have you done during the cardio portions of the workouts and what other modifications have you had to make?

Thanks again!
Amanda

    I'd clear it with your physician first. I am doing the 30 day shred now, but I have been doing it since before I was pregnant and am continuing through it (7 weeks along). I think you are supposed to avoid lying on your back in the 2nd and 3rd trimester due to blood flow, so for the back exercises you can easily do those standing up. Good luck!
