My first pregnancy I didn’t find your workout plan until my second trimester. This time I actually get to start at 8 weeks. Holy moly it is hard! I was so happy to see a core workout! Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video! I was told by so many ppl to stop working my core because I was pregnant & I listened because I thought I was going to hurt my baby. I was told just to walk & relax instead. I love your videos & i am so much happier since I know I can still challenge & push my self in a healthy way. I felt so sluggish & down without my regular workouts & the challenges I was use to. I don't think enough people understand what exercise can do for your body & moos especially if it is something you did pre pregnancy! Thanks again 💜
Completed the PP plan after my last pregnancy and loved it! First time doing prenatal plan and this was KILLER!!! Congrats to all the hard core mommies who are working it 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! LOVE Gavin's laugh, he's so cute. I did a few of your vids on my first pregnancy, and I'm going to be with you all the way this time (doing your free prenatal workout plan), just found out I was pregnant again! Yay! Praise the Lord, and God bless you.
Yay Casey!!! Congrats on finding out you are newly pregnant again! Super exciting and you'll find brand new prenatal workouts in my New Prenatal glowbodypt youtube playlsit, too. : )
I love it!! Before my pregnancy I used to do HIIT cardio and lift weights. Then i was searching for pregnancy workouts and i found it, but were too easy! I love yours!!! 😘 Thank you.
such an awesome workout! I actually feel like I was working my core unlike so many other 1st Trimester workouts. This was similar to what I used to do before getting pregnant but toned down a bit. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Excited to do the next workout tomorrow!
Hello, I am just pregnant with my fourth child and have been blessed to find your workout plan. Thank you. I have a bit of diastasis recti from previous pregnancy, is it ok to continue with these exercises? I have continued doing light abdominal workouts over the years of not being pregnant. Thank you for your time. God bless.
Congrats on your 4th pregnancy! Skip this specific routine since you have unresolved Diastasis Recti from previous pregnancy. Once you are 16 weeks onward on my program, everything is DR safe from there. : )
I love all the workouts you provide Ashley. I just wonder if this is a safe exercise sequence to partake in if I have had a hard time closing my diastasis recti after my second pregnancy, and am now currently 10 weeks pregnant with my third and going through your prenatal workout plan. I am a huge advocate for the 12 week post pregnancy plan you provide, and repeated phase 2 and 3 at least 3 times before discovering I was pregnant again. I made a ton of progress closing my gap, but the depth of my gap never seemed to get better....Just some context for you. If this is not an ideal workout for me, or someone in my position, is there a good alternative for exercising and strengthening my abs? Thank you so much for all of your time, wisdom, thoughtfulness and support you provide to so many of us!
Steph skip this one as it is not for DR. You will want to work on training the back and obliques right now using my Muffin Top Workout and Prenatal Obliques. Please avoid direct rectus abdominis training during pregnancy for 2nd and 3rd trimester, we do not want to apply excessive intra-abdominal pressure as your stomach grows naturally. Your abs WILL SPREAD APART AGAIN, as they will every pregnancy, the key is addressing it directly and deliberately postpartum. As a reminder watch these 2 vids which apply to you currently th-cam.com/video/0Fly9dEqVhY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/KKnLFwfMpEQ/w-d-xo.html
haha thank you! Can you believe Gavin just turned 7 now?! Have you snagged my Free Prenatal Schedule yet?? www.glowbodypt.com/prenatalworkouts It is a click-and-go calendar that takes you week-by-week through your pregnancy to save you tons of time and ensure you are being safe at exactly your stage in pregnancy. From 33 weeks onward, you know you can continue to use any of my 2nd or 3rd trimester workouts listed past 20 weeks on the schedule as long as your body feels up to it. It speaks a lot about you doing my challenging workouts and taking such good care of yourself (and baby!) this pregnancy! Hope to get to know you more on Instagram.
That is so crazy! It is sweet that you have all of these videos of him from when he was little! I downloaded the plan as soon as I found out that I was pregnant! I will be doing your post pregnancy plan after I deliver! These are the only two of your plans that I have not done before, and I am really enjoying your free prenatal plan!
Hi Ashley, I love your pre-pregnancy workouts and I'm going through them all again for my second pregnancy! I thought that I had healed my diastasis recti from my first pregnancy, but after having a doctor look at it recently, she said that I hadn't fully healed it and now I'm concerned about doing your pre-pregnancy plan as I see "coning" happening quite a bit while performing these exercises. I've watched your videos on diastasis recti, but am now wondering how I should proceed with workouts during this current pregnancy! :(
I just found your program with my 3rd pregnancy! I was in shape before (or thought lol) but wow! Im having a hard time keeping up. Your videos are awesome and so inspiring! Cant wait to continue this with you!
First time doing this, and I'm going "girl you're crazy!" But doing it to the best of my abilities anyway! Thank you for putting together such an amazing resource
Hi Zohoor, it's Ashley. Good question and I'm happy to help! This is safe for 1st trimester as prescribed in the FREE Prenatal Program you need here: www.glowbodypt.com/prenatalworkouts You will confidently stay safe, on track, organized and focused. Over 70,000 moms have come before you and I'm so excited for you to have a healthy pregnancy as you prepare your body for labor.
Ashley, thank you for your videos! I am trying to work through your prenatal plan I downloaded from your website, and on the Tuesdays of weeks 13-17 there is a description of what I need to do but not a video. Is there suppose to be a video I go to? Please help. Thank you.
Hi l love your videos. Do you have or could you make a hard core abs for 2nd and third trimester? I am so tired of doing just obliques or just feeling I am not doing enough for my core. Thank you for making these awesome videos!
GlowBodyPT Oh wow I had no idea I shouldn’t be working the obliques more then 1 times a week. So your saying I should only do one of the three of your ab workouts mentioned above once a week?
GlowBodyPT do you not recommend front planks either? I am 17 weeks today. I have been staying away from traditional crunches but I have been working my abs several times a week. What about transverse abs? How often can they be trained?
I had to make tons of modifications to this workout. I'm not sure I would even attempt it again. The stability ball back extensions were downright painful. I'm really surprised something like that is even in a prenatal workout. And yes, I had the ball below my belly and I am still in the first trimester.
Just wondering were you doing similar work outs before pregnancy? Because it is true that her routines are more challenging but if you were already doing something similar then this is safe during, every one is different of course. Also she does slow down as the pregnancy progresses.
@Glow Body PT , Wow this really helped! I'm 5 weeks 5 days, today was my first ultrasound, 42 years old.... Can you please tell us what protein powder we can use while pregnant? My OBGYN told me to get information of which one so she can give me the ok
Glow Body PT Thank you for replying.... I used to do high intensity cardio work out earlier for 20-25 mins, 4-5 days /week....I will definitely ask my doctor as well... Thanks a lot
Hey, I just found your channel and love it! I'm around 4-5 weeks and before becoming pregnant, I lifted really heavy and did a lot of Zumba and HIIT workouts. Is it still possible to keep a muscular and toned body through pregnancy?
Kirstin, Congrats on your pregnancy! It sounds like you started this pregnancy with unresolved DR from a previous pregnancy. This workout is NOT for Diastasis Recti. My 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan is what you need for this time around postpartum so you can get your gap confidently closed down to a solid 2, or less. Skip this workout and be mindful that my Prenatal Program isn't designed for Diastasis Recti in mind til 17 weeks pregnant. Therefore, there will be some exercises you need to skip or modify since you started this pregnancy with DR. I need you to watch this quick vid so you are educated on EXACTLY what you need to know: th-cam.com/video/tcyK5tZeQ68/w-d-xo.html
@@glowbodypt I'm so grateful to you for getting back to me so quickly! I did maybe half the exercises in this video and tailored the others. Could I do the postpartum plan till I'm 17weeks? I purchased it a few years ago. Thank you so much for all the work you do in making these great workouts for pregnancy/postpartum! Any hope of closing my gap at all with being pregnant?
Great job Claudia and congrats on your pregnancy! If you haven't already, be sure to snag my Free Prenatal Program www.glowbodypt.com/prenatalworkouts to save and remove the guesswork of what is safe and when as you train for labor.
This workout is for 1st trimester when DR is of zero consequence or threat due to pregnancy. You absolutely should be training your rectus abdominis during 1st trimester, and for most women, early 2nd trimester too as you start your pregnancy strong. ---> If you are starting your pregnancy with Diastasis Recti from a previous pregnancy, this workout is not for you. Please watch this video in its entirety so you can better understand DR during pregnancy and when you need to be aware of it, and how. th-cam.com/video/tcyK5tZeQ68/w-d-xo.html
I absolutely love your workouts, you are amazing! I have one question - I am on my second pregnancy and I already have about a 2 finger gap in my abs, i am 11-weeks pregnant. Can i continue to do things like planks even if i see a bulge down the middle of my abdomen happening when I do them?
Sonia, congrats on your second pregnancy! Since you have lingering DR from your first pregnancy, you do want to be a bit more mindful this time around and modify some moves. BLUF: You WILL get Diastasis Recti again, but there are ways we can reduce exasperating it or making it become worse than it needs to be. I need you to watch this video: th-cam.com/video/tcyK5tZeQ68/w-d-xo.html
I wanted to know if hard core mummy workout is not going to harm the baby as we are compressing the tummy. I am a regular advance Hot yoga person but have to stop cos of heat. please advice and this is my 3rd child, no complications so far with pregnancy. thanks

I love your videos! I am first trimester and I will work out hard today!! Thank you ...
+Glow Body PT hey I'm 14 weeks is this ok for me to do? I used to do insanity and I'm 21
+Glow Body PT thank you!! Will do!
Hello! I love your video. Where can I get your video for every week of the pregnancy? I wasn't sure if I should be doing this one everyday or not.
Oh wow! I am not pregnant and this was a great work out! Thanks Ashley!!
You're so welcome! Glad you liked it even when you are not expecting. : )

What size ball are you using? I have a 75cm ball and the first exercise felt impossible, but I'm wondering if it's because my ball is too big?
Are these good if I’m already at 2 fingers diastasis Recti (9 weeks preggo)? Thanks, girl! Just wanna do what’s best ❤
how many times a week can you do this workout (what is the safe amount)

Are those back extensions on the bosu really ok with a 1st trimester belly, like 3 months?
Uh oh, I started coning on this. Im 12 m pp after your plan and now 8 weeks pregnant. What can I do instead of those?
So all this bending and bouncing etc is safe! We aren't going to poke or squish or shake the baby? I'm 7 weeks can I start this?
I'm 9 weeks and trying to do some of these ab exercises feel wrong for my DR. 4 finger gap. Any tips? Thanks!
