BEST PREGNANCY CHRISTMAS WORKOUT - Prenatal & Postnatal Pilates

[@erinalexander2727]

I think this may be my favorite video and will definitely be on repeat this Christmas (and every Christmas to come)!

[@glowbodypt]

AWWE Erin, that means so much to me! Merry Christmas to you and your family and I'm so glad this will be one you return to again and again.

[@starabby222]

36 weeks pregnant with baby #2! My 2 year old daughter gets so excited to workout with "glowbody pt" (she waves and says bye to you at the end of every video) and especially gets excited when Ava is visible! Thank you for being unashamed of the Gospel and Jesus Christ, and for using your platform to spread the goodness of His Word ❤️ loved this workout and family friendly the atmosphere you provided!

[@glowbodypt]

Yes Abby! I'm here for all of that. CONGRATS to you on 36 weeks with your second about to be born and having 2 ages 2 and under. : ) My boys are exactly 2 yrs apart and I am so grateful because they are the best of friends now.

[@glowbodypt]

FINALLY got comments approved (always an issue when children are included, but it's worth it because I know many of your kids appreciate seeing my kids!) Please drop me a comment and let other women know if this video is worth doing?! Merry Christmas GlowBodyPT family.

[@daliacarrillo8588]

Yes! I put your workouts on my tv screen and my daughters love seeing your kids ❤️

[@beckyvaughn9845]

Absolutely love that you are preaching the gospel while working out, teaching, and being real a mom with real kids! You make it look easy! Though we all know it's not... But you do it with such grace and a smile that it so counter culture in this "woe is me, life is hard" culture I find myself succumbing to more than I would like. Yes it's hard, but it's good to do the hard things, and an awesome teaching experience for the kids

[@glowbodypt]

Becky, absolutely, you completely nailed it. When I consider the life Jesus lived: working with his hands doing either minor carpentry (very few nimble trees in Nazareth....so more likely more masonry work with his hands being a "builder" of some sorts is a more accurate translation), having to travel around staying in other people's homes, living a humble life, being persecuted...real persecution beyond just teasing or name calling, and having no vacuum cleaner/dish washer/wash machine/drier/vehicle/ear buds/podcasts/comfy sneakers, none of the luxuries we live with today to the point of excess. It truly is humbling when we look at how He lived and what he did with his time and limited comforts.

[@awnie12]

I don't leave comments, but I wanted to let you know that my toddler LOVES seeing your kids when I'm working out to your videos. I prefer the videos with your beautiful children because not only is their energy so sweet, uplifting, and encouraging to see, but because it makes my son happy enough to let me finish a workout. Please don't listen to anyone saying it isn't professional!!! They are so wrong. God bless you! And thank you so much for your videos, they motivate me so much (and my husband, too, when he joins me)! Also, you should do more Christian themed workouts. I love it.

[@glowbodypt]

Thank you x 100. Your words mean so much and good job training with your little one toddling around to see Mommy do hard things.

[@lauraau-yeung229]

Ashley, I love this and your other new Christmas video. What a great way to use your vocation as a platform for sharing the Christmas story and the truth about Jesus Christ, our only hope in this life and in the next.

[@glowbodypt]

You nailed it Laura. Perfectly said about our only hope.

[@katiecisneros1920]

Thank you for this awesome workout and not being ashamed of declaring the gospel of Jesus Christ girl!!! You are truly one of a kind and a blessing to many momma ❤

[@capricebachor7632]

Loved this in February! Wanted something "light" today, and chose this. It was not light, but it was the low-impact workout I needed, and my inner thighs are feeling it. Back to the 10-minute plan tomorrow :) The girls are getting so big, and beautiful as ever! Its been fun over the years so see you introduce each of your kids, and my children get a kick out of seeing them too. Thanks for sharing about Jesus on your platform! Its such an encouragement to me, and I pray the Lord uses it to reach those sheep who are yet outside His fold, as a means to turn them to the Word and Savior.

[@glowbodypt]

Caprice! So beautifully said, thank you.

[@capricebachor7632]

I can’t wait to try it! And I really enjoyed your other Christmas routine too! Thanks :)

[@VanessaPalencia]

Amazing workout, as usual! It is always so refreshing to see your children running around, showing life as a mom! And I think it’s amazing that you shared the gospel! This world needs the love and light of Christ more than ever. God bless you and your family! 🙏🏼❤️

[@stephaniekautz745]

Hearing Bible verses and narrative of the virgin birth really encouraged me and put me in a good space emotionally throughout the workout. Good workout to help me "get back on the horse" post partum. God bless you Ashley 🙏🏻 thank you!

[@glowbodypt]

Stephanie, this warms my heart to hear how this vid effected you. Are you on my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan yet? How many months or weeks postpartum are you?

[@caseystrongsmith]

This was TOUGH, and wonderful! I definitely can't keep up with you, but I enjoyed feeling the burn! My little girls came in at the end and joined me. Thank you for your testimony of our Savior throughout the workout. I loved the peace and symbolism contained in this workout. And I love seeing you field kids requests, get bumped, give directions on snacks - it's nice to see another momma doing those things. 😊

[@glowbodypt]

Awe Casey I am so proud of you for doing this challenging prenatal / postnatal Christmas Pilates workout and doing the best you can with it. That's cute your daughters joined you for the very end, I'm so glad they get to see you exercise sometimes too.

[@mdennis7291]

Amazing workout, as always! Thank you for helping lead us physically and spiritually!

[@glowbodypt]

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed this one, tell me your name so I can remember! Really appreciate you being here and your support.

[@carolinewynne506]

33 weeks pregnant and loved this!!! Thank you!

[@glowbodypt]

Wow!!! Congrats on 33 weeks along. I'm so pleased to hear you're still taking such outstanding care of yourself, your family and your baby on the way.

[@jessicabolton8865]

I love all your workouts - and I admire you so much for using your platform to glorify God! 🙌🎄🙏

[@glowbodypt]

Merry Christmas Jessica! I'm the one grateful to have you here.

[@stephaniewilliams3850]

Cannot wait to do this! 35 weeks pregnant and probably gonna save this one to redo a few times❤️ thank you Ashley!

[@glowbodypt]

WOOHOO on 35 weeks strong! This is so exciting you'll be meeting your baby in early 2025 Steph. I hope you enjoy this, let me know how it goes.

[@lekasa1508]

I love all your workouts and can’t wait to do this one ❤️

You came Leonie! I hope you really enjoy this one - update me once you do it. : )

[@mizlexi5]

Loved it so much! My favorite parts were you sharing the Bible. I got food for my muscles and soul! ❤

[@kmc2419]

Great workout as always and SO nice to have background music!!

[@elizabethtaylor72]

I'm in phase 2 of the postpartum plan now! My family and I live in the Middle East so I always try to add as much Christmas into our routines as I can this time of year. I loved this so my kids could listen along to the Christmas story from another mama while I got a good workout in! Thanks so much Ashley!

[@glowbodypt]

Oh this is so perfect to weave into P2 of the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan Elizabeth! Nice to meet you living in the Middle East and honored to have you here.

[@annetan4006]

Here for the second year ❤ wonderful Christmas videos

[@user-oe9hj3iy2e]

Wonderful workout! I look forward to all your workouts

[@heatherwilks6575]

Thank you for making a prenatal/postnatal Christmas video, too! I just watched the first Christmas workout since I'm in my 2nd trimester, but after following along with this one, my lower body is burning 🔥 Loved it!! Excited to do it again next year with your postpartum plan.

[@glowbodypt]

Awwe I'm SO GLAD you used this one while you are in 2nd trimester Heather and you're adding the Full Body and Abs Christmas (story) workout to your saved workouts for next year. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@jessicaglasson5845]

Loved this workout!! I’m 5 months postpartum with my second baby and am working my way through your 12 week post pregnancy plan as I did with my first baby. I got off track with our family being sick for the last two weeks so this workout and your other new Christmas workout were just what I needed to get me motivated again! I loved the Christ-centered message, positivity, and kid-friendly workouts!

[@beckyvaughn9845]

I'm 5 months pp with 4th baby but we are still in the trenches of sickness. I have been off track too but this was just the motivation I needed too! Now my older kiddos will join in too!

[@glowbodypt]

Awwe Jessica congrats on your second baby being added to the family! You have my UPGRADED 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan, right?

[@glowbodypt]

Thank you!! 😊Are you currently pregnant or postpartum Karissa?

[@grantkarissabrown3812]

Currently postpartum -just had babies #3 & 4 (twins). We had 4 babies in 4 years 😅 My oldest is close to Ava’s age 😍!! I love following your pregnancy and postpartum plans as well as your recipes!! The 10 min plan and recipes are also amazing. Most of all I appreciate your heart for sharing what it means to know and follow Christ in your videos!

[@benjanessawelch5073]

Currently 27 weeks and replaced the prenatal plan's 20 Minute Yoga session with this --- great change up! Being pregnant right now makes Christmas extra special :-)

[@leannastephens7675]

Thank you for this! 38 weeks pregnant and trying to stay active. This was perfect!!

[@glowbodypt]

Wow Leanna, you go woman at 38 weeks strong! Congratulations on being full term and I'm thrilled for you to meet your baby very soon. : )

[@leannastephens7675]

Thank you!! I owe so much of my health and strength to your prenatal workout plan. It was such a great program and I’m very excited to begin the postpartum plan when I’m ready!

[@rebekahbabbitt9916]

Enjoyed the workout. Hard as always and flows perfectly like all of your workouts. Thank you for filling the season with the Christ season.

[@megan5039]

Love that I can get a strengthening workout in less than 30 minutes! It's nice to work on mobility, flexibility as well as endurance all at once. I'm trying to stay limber and strong throughout my pregnancy and I feel that these types of workouts are effective for my goals. Thanks, Ashley!

[@glowbodypt]

I'm so glad to hear this from you Megan - your goals of flexible, limber, strong, plus endurance are spot on. I hope you are enjoying my Free Prenatal Program to get you there! www.glowbodypt.com/prenatalworkouts

[@zoewood6774]

Thank you so much for taking the time to create these Christmas workouts! I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant with baby no.3 and this was just what I needed to keep morale up whilst focusing on the real point of Christmas at the same time. My kids and I also really enjoyed doing a modified version of the full body one too (and seeing your dogs and kids!). I've been following your prenatal schedule for the 2nd time throughout this pregnancy, which has also THE BEST prenatal resource. So thankful for your presence on KZbin and wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas!! 🎄😊

[@glowbodypt]

Zoe!!! Awwe, has your 3rd baby been born yet? I am so impressed you did this workout at 39+ weeks along! THANK YOU for choosing me to be your trainer during your pregnancy, you will absolutely love what the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan does for you postpartum if you follow it like I do, too.

[@zoewood6774]

Thank you for making this, Ashley! I'm a little late but finally did it this morning. Thanks for your continued expertise and encouragement. I will share it with a couple pregnant friends! Merry Christmas!

[@glowbodypt]

Thank you Katelyn for trying this one, I'm so happy you appreciated it and will even share with some of your pregnant girlfriends. Merry Christmas!

[@dhiadheute]

Love all the matching sweaters and how you had about a twenty pound Laurel weight at the end lol. According to my schedule I was supposed to do yoga today but I really feel convicted to not participate in yoga so I tried this video and I’m so glad I did. Felt good to get the blood pumping and those calves were sure burning (even without holding a toddler). Thanks for all your free videos. I love hearing about Jesus throughout them. I know it’s not Christmas but it’s a good story year round.

[@annafitzpatrick8922]

[@brittanybritton1457]

Amazing workout!! I really liked how you described each workout like “hanging garland”, “smiling hips”, “making Christmas cookies.” It either made the workout a bit more enjoyable or understandable. I love that little spin!

[@xbriannaxbananax]

This was so fun!! 🎄🎄🎄

[@number1abs]

Thanks! Love this one!

[@deliehoverson7348]

This was a comprehensive lower body burn! The lack of equipment makes it perfect for Christmas travel. Do you have any upper body prenatal workouts that don't require equipment? I'm having to improvise a little from the prenatal plan during an extended trip. Thanks for this workout! I had never done a Christmas workout, so some of the moves felt a little goofy but still delivered the signature glowbodypt burn!

[@glowbodypt]

Hi Delie, congrats on your pregnancy! I'm so glad you enjoyed this unique one. I don't have any No Equipment upper body pregnancy safe workouts --- to many of those require getting in the prone / push up position which I don't support for 20+ weeks in pregnancy. Rather, stick to walking, legs, and glutes during your trip and resume upper body training when you get home.

[@SloaneBurns-p5n]

No idea how I did this at 9 months pregnant but definitely felt like Mary 36 weeks a week before Christmas! Did this last year as well when I was wicked pregnant!

[@tcate296]

I love the matching shirts! Do you remember where you bought them?

[@glowbodypt]

These were Pat & Pat! I would size up one size though if I were to buy again. : )

Merry Christmas! I am on week 3/4 of your postpartum plan 😏 so may not be ready for this! What do you think?! ❤🎄🎁

[@glowbodypt]

I'd try it, and back off if anything feels not right or too much for you Callie. You've done TONS of my training and each postpartum recovery is unique, so I want you to listen to your body.

[@cortneypalm11]

The bible also references MANY times that humans should NOT eat animals. That “fruit is thy meat” But for some reason people skip over those verses. Jesus wasn’t actually born on Christmas either. Christmas was a yule time festival for the pagans and christians turned it into a Christian holiday. Thanks for the workouts.😇

[@glowbodypt]

Hi Cortney, To be crystal clear: Jesus was not a vegetarian. It is recorded that Jesus ate fish (Luke 24: 42-43) and lamb (Luke 22:8-15). It is important to not pick and choose verses from the Bible to suit an oppinion, but rather to examine and exposit exactly what the word says. This is called systematic theology and it's so important that you consider WHO the passage was written to, WHEN it was written, and HOW do Old Testament laws break down when we become free of the law thanks to Jesus himself. See Genesis chapter 9, right at the beginning, after the flood in Noah's time. God grants humanity permission to eat meat and he has never once taken back this permission. Later in the New Testament in Acts (10:10-15) Jesus reveals himself to Peter in a vision and makes it clear that all foods are clean -- including the animals that the national of Isreal were forbidden to eat under old testament all. So, if you personally want to be a vegetarian and abstain from meet, that's fine! Jesus doesn't command us that we must eat meat. : ) BUT Jesus declared ALL foods, including meat, to be clean (Mark 7:19) so we can eat or drink or do whatever we do all for the glory of God.

[@glowbodypt]

And yep, got it that Christmas December 25th wasn't actually the *day* Jesus was born -- historians all agree on this and the Bible doesn't confirm or deny Jesus's birth day. What's less important is the DAY it happened on. What matters is we are celebrating that Christ's condescension (coming down in human flesh) and being Immanuel (God with us). That's the meat of Christmas, that's what matters.
