4 Pregnancy-Safe Workouts

Table Top with Leg Extension
How-to:
Sit on the floor with your legs bent, and keep your feet about shoulder-width apart.
Keeping your arms straight, bridge your entire body up to form a "table" parallel to the floor.
From here, extend one leg, pause, return that leg to floor, and then switch legs.
Body bonus: This exercise can be used in any trimester. It focuses on the glutes and legs, which are the primary areas that tend to get out of shape during pregnancy, and stretches the upper body.
Gabby says: This move combines a really good stretch in your shoulders and upper body with the actual workout you get in your glutes and legs. This exercise makes me feel relaxed and opened-up afterward.
