Bad Ass Mutha Workout

Welcome, beautiful peeps! This is a workout I've been doing 2 to 3 times a week as I've progressed into my third trimester of pregnancy. I stopped teaching regular fitness and yoga classes at 32 weeks, and these exercises have kept me sane as the aches, pains, and discomfort has grown!

Many people are still concerned with workout out while pregnant. Here is an article I wrote for Club Life Magazine about pregnancy and fitness per trimester!

Holy F. 

At this point in pregnancy, you are all bad ass muthas. You are a freaking champion for even thinking about working out. Thus, when you finish this workout you may always consider yourself one bad ass mutha. 

Make sure to fix your face when calling yourself bad ass.

Begin this workout with a 5 minute stationary cardio warm-up. Some examples include marching on the spot, step-touch, grapevine, and heel digs. Otherwise, put on your favourite music and MOVE! The more embarrassing, the better.

Complete this circuit three times and include a five minute cooldown (similar to your warm up). Depending how you feel, take anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds between each exercise. 

This should take you approximately 20 minutes!

Move #1: Wide Legged Squat with Row (20 each)

Begin with feet wider than shoulder width apart, and turn feet 45 degrees. Squat down keeping your back straight! 

On your way back to starting, bring your elbows as close together as you can.

Move #2: Bad Ass Mutha Plank (20 seconds)

Make sure your wrists are directly under your shoulders. Option is to drop to your knees.

Move #3: Table Top Chest Press (20 each)

Because I'll never be able to say this again, check out my cleave!
Begin with arms wider than mat-width. 

Bring chest down to the mat and push yourself back to starting. 

Move #4: Tricep Push Ups (10 each)

Begin with your hands directly under your shoulders. Look bad ass. 

Keeping your ELBOWS IN, bring your nose to the mat and press yourself back to starting position.

Repeat this circuit 3 times and then get someone to rub your feet while you secretly Kegel, and tell them over and over again what a bad ass mutha you are. 

You rock.
