Looking for ideas for cardio during pregnancy? Try these bodyweight prenatal cardio focused exercises that you can do in the comfort of your own home or take it outside. This cardio pregnancy safe workout will keep your whole body strong through pregnancy. These are also diastasis friendly pregnancy cardio moves to protect your core.

I love working the body in different ways. During pregnancy it can be challenging at times to find safe exercises that keep me strong but also don’t put extra pressure on the belly.

Even during pregnancy you can get some good cardio in that gives your heart and lungs a good workout without overdoing it of course. Depending on your fitness level you can make these exercises easier or harder. Always listen to your body as each pregnancy is different.  Other great cardio pregnancy ideas are walking and swimming, but I wanted to incorporate other cardio moves too. In case you can’t go for a walk or get to a pool.

When creating this routine I also wanted to make sure the exercises were safe for diastasis. As I am working out differently this second pregnancy to prevent a large diastasis post baby.

These exercise moves are great to do during any trimester. During the third trimester, though, it’s best not to over do it and make sure to incorporate lots of walking and moves to prepare you for labor (I am working on a post soon about what I am doing to prepare for labor).  Limit your jumping or do modifications for jumping exercises. This will also help with preventing diastasis.

Cardio pregnancy safe workout to burn some calories

The great thing about this routine is that you can do at home to keep you strong and healthy while your body changes through pregnancy. You don’t have to leave your home to get a good workout in making it a great option when you have other kids to take care of.

Mantra for the week – I am worthy of all things wonderful.

I love this mantra because as a mom I sometimes can put off my needs first. I catch myself thinking I don’t deserve that or this.  Silly I know because being a mom doesn’t mean I am not worthy of wonderful things.

You are worthy of wonderful things too!

As moms we sometimes forget to do things that make us feel worthy. Things that make us feel wonderful.

Well, actually society makes us feel bad if we do things for ourselves, despite that it will make us be better moms, better wives, friends, co-workers etc.

I want you to repeat this mantra a few times a day, especially when you catch yourself saying you don’t deserve something.

Let me know what was your favorite move was.

See you at the next workout.

xoxo Lori (and Michelle)
