BUD week 19: Pregnancy Workout

I'm now well and truly into the second trimester now and starting to look and feel pregnant.. this also means I've had to start slowing down and be careful with my workouts. With delightful hormones like relaxin floating around (relaxes ligaments in preparation for birth), bigger boobies (finally a B-cup!!), and my tummy starting to pop out into a baby bump the biggest change I'm noticing is a loss of pelvic and lumbar stability.

The following workout is designed to keep my fitness and  build stability around my spine and pelvis without developing a diastisis, losing balance or getting postural hypotension (all of the fun things) :-)
