This is exactly how my pregnancy lower body workouts look at the moment, and to be honest, they have changed more than I expected. I avoid any form of jumping because it no longer feels comfortable or supportive, and I completely removed abdominal exercises for now. I simply began to feel discomfort while doing them, and for me that is always a clear sign to stop. If you still want to include abdominal work, keep in mind that starting from the second trimester you should avoid doing them on a flat surface. A fit ball or a bosu is a much safer and more comfortable option as your body changes.

Another adjustment I made is connected to my back. As the bump grows, the lower back naturally takes on more pressure, so I no longer include exercises that make the area feel tight or overloaded. I focus on movements that feel freeing, stabilizing and gentle rather than intense or restrictive.

From around the second month of pregnancy, my workouts were extremely simple. They resembled stretching sessions or light yoga flows more than actual training. The first trimester is a very delicate and energy-demanding stage of pregnancy, and the best thing you can do for yourself is to be generous with rest. There is no need to push, force or hold yourself to your old standards. Saving your energy and supporting your body is far more important.

During the second trimester, something shifted. I began to feel more like myself again, and my energy slowly returned. That is when I started adapting my workouts to my new shape rather than scaling everything down. I focused on movements that were safe, low-impact and stable. The routine I filmed was from my fifth month, and by that time I felt comfortable enough to create workouts that were effective yet friendly to the bump.

I usually do fifteen repetitions per exercise and repeat the entire sequence for three rounds. This structure gives me enough movement to feel strong and active but not overwhelmed.

The most important thing to remember is that exercising during pregnancy is generally safe only if you were consistently working out before pregnancy. Every body and every pregnancy is different, so always speak to your doctor about the level of activity that suits you. The goal is not to challenge yourself but to support your body through a unique and demanding time.
