Pregnant? It’s Time to Break Up With the Gym...

PREGNANT?? WHY you MUST BREAK UP with your GYM, PILATES & CYCLE CLASS NOW!!

Wait – what?! Break up with the gym???
😳Yep, I said it!

If you’re newly pregnant (or even just thinking about it), you need to know this 👇

From as early as 2 weeks, your body is flooded with a hormone called relaxin – it softens your joints and ligaments so your body can grow and birth a baby 👶

BUT… it also makes your pelvis vulnerable — and doing your usual workouts like:
🚴‍♀️ Cycle class
🧘‍♀️ Reformer Pilates
🏋️‍♀️ HIIT or gym sessions
🏃‍♀️ Running
...can quietly do damage that shows up as pelvic pain, leaking, or even long-term dysfunction later.

Here’s what most people don’t tell you:

You might not feel it now... but by 24 weeks you could be dealing with sharp pain, instability, abdominal separation or a pelvic floor that just isn’t coping 💥

🎥 In this video, I explain:
✅ Why “just keep doing what you were doing” isn’t great advice
✅ The real risks of common workouts during pregnancy
✅ What kind of exercise your body actually needs right now

💡 It's not about giving up movement — it’s about choosing smarter, pregnancy-specific training that protects your pelvic floor, pelvis and core and supports you through birth and beyond 💪

❤️ You only get one body, one pelvis, one core — look after it NOW so you can enjoy pregnancy and bounce back feeling amazing.
