This strength-building class targets your abs, arms, and glutes using weights, with a focus on building functional strength for both pregnancy and postpartum life. You’ll work on creating mechanics that support your changing body, as well as prepare for the real-world demands of caring for a baby—like getting up and down from the floor, carrying, lifting, and moving with control and confidence.
Through a mix of standing and mat work, this class emphasizes core connection, hip stability, and upper body strength, helping you avoid injury and build a strong foundation for recovery. A smart, supportive workout that helps you feel stronger today and prepared for the demands of motherhood tomorrow.
Props: light to medium weights
