Workouts

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.

  • I love this channel on YouTube called Pregnancy and Postpartum TV! All her workouts are pregnancy-friendly and divided by trimester. She has a mix of Pilates, light weights, hiit, and yoga workouts, so you get lots of options. The workouts are challenging, which I like, because I feel like sometimes pregnancy workouts are too simple. She also has lots of content about preparing for birth! Highly recommend! I’ve been doing her workouts this entire pregnancy so far and they make me feel so good! (I’m 20 weeks)

  • I have a ballet barre subscription and they have tons of prenatal exercises. A lot of the stand alone videos are 20 minutes or less which I really love because that makes it feel more doable with my schedule. 
  • I second the pregnancy and postpartum tv YouTube channel recommendation! I love her pregnancy Pilates videos 
  • I'm doing the Hanna Eden bumpfit series that I subscribed to. It's like weights and stuff, not really cardio.
  • 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.
