Has anyone tried the YouTube channels or apps for prenatal workouts? I drive a LOT for work (2 hrs one way) and at 23w, the drive is killing me slowly. I try to get in 10k steps per day but it’s not always possible.
Thought I’d ask and see if any moms on here have good workouts to recommend.
Re: Workouts
I’ve had good luck with short prenatal yoga and stretching workouts on YouTube, especially ones focused on hips, lower back, and pelvic floor. Even 10–15 minutes makes a difference when 10k steps aren’t happening. I also do quick stretches during breaks and use rejuvacare products afterward to ease the stiffness from sitting so long. Totally worth trying a few options and sticking with what feels best for your body.
I feel this so much — long drives during pregnancy are rough. I’ve tried a few YouTube prenatal workouts, and honestly the shorter, low-impact ones worked best for me, especially ones focused on stretching hips, lower back, and circulation. I also started using a rejuvacare support cushion for driving and sitting, and it helped take pressure off my lower back and tailbone a lot. Between gentle prenatal yoga videos and better support while driving, it made those long days way more manageable.
