Second Trimester

Second Trimester

5 Seasons

Every pregnancy is different, so we recommend checking with your GP or Consultant to ensure they are happy for you to continue with exercise at this time.
We also recommend watching our Pregnancy Introduction video before beginning the classes.

****To view all classes, click the dropdown menu, where our Second Trimester classes are broken down into categories****

During your second trimester, there are some modifications you will need to make to the classes. We recommend avoiding exercises on your back, especially core work. With a growing bump, there’s pressure on our tummy muscles, and by doing sit ups or ab work on our back, it increases the pressure on our tummy muscles, which can exacerbate a separation. Aside from this, we know from your feedback that lots of Moms-to-be simply aren’t comfortable on their back, so we tend to leave out all exercises in this position in our Prenatal classes.
So, after 12 weeks, we recommend sticking with our Pregnancy specific classes. This way, you don’t need to worry about modifying exercises.
As always, pick classes that feel right for you and how you’re feeling.
