  • Gestational Week Start Date

    After you sign up, you will message us and tell us what gestational week you are at. We will then apply the program to your calendar so you start at the appropriate time in your pregnancy.

  • Pelvic Floor & Core Focused

    You’ll constantly be working on your pelvic floor in all of the movements. We will teach you how to find these muscles and activate them! The movements are focused on teaching you how to release and contract your pelvic floor along with your deep core

  • Video Demonstrations

    Each movement has a video demonstration with a directional voice over to help properly guide you with pelvic floor and deep core cues

  • Running Recommendations

    The run days are prescribed in duration rather than mileage as a means to accommodate multiple levels of fitness. The running will depend on how you feel, what you are used to, and what you want to do. The workouts are what will hopefully keep you running further into your pregnancy.
