Pre/Postnatal Workout

This is a great 3 day program for newly pregnant moms and those just recently cleared by their doctor postpartum. If you can, add 30 minutes of walking 3-4 times per week in addition to the weighted workouts.  The best thing about these workouts - they can be done in your home or at a gym. Feeling like you’ve got a little more energy, repeat your favorite day 1 more time. (and for ab workout, be sure to check out our prenatal and postnatal abs).
