Ab work outs from 2 to 3rd tri

k.martell · March 2012

I am a Group Class junkie! The last routine of most of classes is Ab work. I can do basic crunches and lower ab work with leg lifts but anything else (bicycle, toe taps, etc.) is too uncomfortable and LO lets me know.

What are good, and still effective, modifications for Ab work from the 2 to 3rd tri?

I often use a ball so I'm not actually on my back and then just do normal sit ups. I also love doing planks, including side planks. I also do a modified bicycle where I'm kind of sitting at an angle and kicking my legs out. (It's hard to explain but I'm more or less sitting down but leaning back on my elbows.) I do scissor kicks this way, too, and this move where I'm extending both legs out together and bringing them back in. I did this for my entire first pregnancy too so hopefully you'll find ab workouts that work.

Elbow planks, straight arm planks, side planks and ball work is what I do most. I have been really bad over the last few weeks in making time for core work!

I did regular pilates throughout my pregnancies. The only modifications I made were more breaks between reps and sometimes less reps.
