It can be hard to maintain your pregnancy workouts in the 3rd trimester so we have developed these pregnancy exercises to keep your fit pregnancy going!

Even when your bump gets bigger there’s no reason to stop exercising – listen to your body to make sure you don’t overdo it!
Aim to do each exercise for one minute and go through the whole routine twice – or do two minutes of each exercise and do the whole routine once.

Half Jacks
1.Begin with your feet apart; just a tad more than shoulder width and your arms out at right angles but bent at the elbow, so that your fists are in front of your chest.
2. Step to the right. Whilst doing so open out your arms.
3. When your feet meet back together, bend your arms again so that you return to your starting position
Always warm up before exercise, this is easy cardio to add to your pregnancy workout routine, follow with focus on arms, legs and core muscles!

Forward heel digs
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
2. Bend one knee whilst stretching one leg in front of you, resting your heel on the ground with your toes pointing upwards.
3. As you do this, curl both arms upwards towards your chest.

Strong march with knees up
This is like a slowed down jog on the spot, however remember to keep your knees up high and your arms strong. If it helps, imagine that you are going to touch your knee to your elbow every time you lift up your leg!
