In this episode, I walk through how I approach workout adaptations during the first and second trimesters—what I modify, why it matters, and how to keep movement effective and accessible. I cover specific patterns that often get adjusted, like sit-ups, planks, and bar hanging movements, and explain the reasoning behind each one. But more importantly, I emphasize that these choices are always up to the individual. There are no blanket rules, no “safe vs unsafe” labels—just informed decisions based on how someone feels, what their goals are, and what’s actually effective for their body in that moment. If you're pregnant, postpartum, coaching, or just curious, this episode gives you practical insight you can actually use.
