I tried so many other pregnancy workout videos and yours I loved I actually felt my core muscles again! 🎉

[@laurenfitterfitness]

I’m so glad to hear that! I have several additional prenatal core workouts on my channel playlists, too!

[@mouraddzliion312]

channel. amazing. very. Exciting and I adore. sports.❤❤💪

[@eveheatherly2147]

I really like this it’s a really good burn 👍

[@laurenfitterfitness]

So glad you enjoyed it!❤

[@amitchell3993]

Well. Here I am in second tri! My abs have absolutely already started splitting in half! All the work I did last year to get them back is gone already!

[@laurenfitterfitness]

I know that is discouraging! But that separation is perfectly normal; however, doing deep core exercises like this + breath work will help prevent severe DR and keep your core strong! ❤

Hi Lauren
I did your 12 week healing program after my 2nd post partum
This is baby # 3 for me. Just starting 2nd trimester.
How often do you recommend doing this workout in a week? Thanks!

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Hi! Congratulations! I would suggest doing this workout 3 times per week. You can also do my Postpartum Ab workouts, you’ll just want to avoid lying in the prone (on your belly) position and may need to reduce time spent on your back-this can be uncomfortable for some. ❤

[@alexandradaisyjohnson5888]

Does these exercises prevent severe DR while pregnant?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Yes! I also recommended deep core breath work as well! I’ll link that video below

Is it okay to lay down at back during pregnancy 19 weeks

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Always check with your provider and listen to your body. Not medical advice: but generally, for short amounts of time, it is safe. But if you feel short of breath, lightheaded, etc. then you’ll want to stop.

[@Minoj_channel]

@@laurenfitterfitness thank you so much for your reply and I’m enjoying your workout doing little buy little thanks again for this work out

[@sarahgilmore3415]

Currently 14 and a half weeks. On the clam hip lifts (modified) I feel a lot of pelvic pain/pressure is that normal?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

It can be, but hard for me to say definitively why. Check with your medical provider if you have any concerns! In general, if something is uncomfortable, it’s best to discontinue. ❤

[@ValeriaLysk]

Amazing routine for the 🤰

[@simonakulakevich6605]

What a good burn 🔥

[@laurenfitterfitness]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

Is twisting in 2nd trimester safe?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

The oblique drops are very gentle; you are not forcing a twist. Have, always check with your provider and listen to your body!❤

[@marilynreyes58]

Loved this! Thank you 🙏🏽😊🥰

[@laurenfitterfitness]

So glad you enjoyed it!❤

[@yellowbeachgirl]

Currently 18 weeks pregnant with my 1st. That was a bit too easy and boring, any way to make it actually feel like I'm working my abs?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Hi! You may try some of my postpartum Ab workouts as well on my playlists; however, I would caution not to do too much at this point in pregnancy because your ability to manage core pressure is compromised the further along you are. That’s why this workout is slower-it is about connecting to your deep core and pelvic floor. It won’t yield a big “burn” but it will keep your core strong and healthy to support your pregnancy and help reduce the risk of core dysfunction.

[@yellowbeachgirl]

@laurenfitterfitness thank you, have just been missing feeling like I'm really working out. Are the postpartum workouts on your channel safe for the second trimester of pregnancy?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

I get that! Yes, most of the exercise are; however, you’ll want to avoid anything in the probe (on your belly) position. You may need to reduce time spent on your back, too, as you progress in pregnancy. ❤

[@yellowbeachgirl]

@@laurenfitterfitness thank you

[@SianCurtis-s8z]

Great workout thank you! How many times a week would you recommend?

[@laurenfitterfitness]

Hi! Glad you enjoyed it. 2-3 times would suffice!
