Safe Pregnancy Ab Workout Guide: Strengthen Your Core Even If Youre Expecting
Are sit-ups safe for expecting moms? Find out in this guide from Fitness Fahrenheit!
(firmenpresse) - There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look your best, even during pregnancy. While you want to stay fit (and hot), you also must take care not to exert too much pressure on yourself.
Sit-ups are great exercises to work your abdomen and core but they may not be the best workout routine if you’re expecting a baby.
That’s why Fitness Fahrenheit has compiled a guide that outlines several abdominal muscle exercises you can safely do to strengthen your core.
The guide provides a quick overview of the safest time during pregnancy when you can do sit-ups (if you must do them) and the potential side effects of the exercise.

Fitness Fahrenheit explains that you can do sit-ups during the first trimester with little to no issue. However, beyond the first three months of pregnancy, you should avoid exercises that require laying on your back to perform them, including sit-ups.
While working your abs during pregnancy has some benefits, such as strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, reducing back pain, and ensuring faster labor and postpartum recovery, the guide points out that these types of exercises could cause diastasis recti—a situation where the abdominal muscles separate at the midline.
"It’s not just the potential threat of diastasis recti that is a problem, though," the guide noted. "Laying on your back for any long period after the first trimester poses its own risk."
As such, Fitness Fahrenheit suggests some pregnancy-safe core exercises that you can incorporate into your routine without endangering yourself or your baby. Cat-cow pose, seated pelvic tilts, bird dog, and modified side plank are four of the workout routines highlighted in the guide you can try.
These exercises, as Fitness Fahrenheit explained, are suitable for pregnant women, allowing them to stay fit and healthy without putting too much pressure on themselves.
Still, before attempting any new exercises, you should seek approval from your healthcare provider, the fitness expert notes.
In addition to this guide, you can also find additional resources on Fitness Fahrenheit's website, including Pilates strength training, 5x5 strong lifts for women, "does running make your butt bigger?", and more.
