Top 10 Prenatal Stretches | Pregnancy Stretching Routine

[@kimberlywilson5761]

33 weeks pregnant, and this stretch routine feels great in all the right places.

[@glowbodypt]

Kimberly, congrats to you 33 weeks along and doing this for yourself! Here's another one for you to do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGnCZ5V3palkm8U

[@jamiecarter8309]

I hate stretching but know it’s important. Super happy you include it in your plans!

[@ViennaQueen]

Just found out I‘m pregnant and will definitely do this a few times a week!

[@glowbodypt]

Thank YOU for being here, and congrats on your 1st trimester of pregnancy! Have you snagged my Free Prenatal Schedule yet?? www.glowbodypt.com/prenatalworkouts It is a click-and-go calendar that takes you week-by-week through your pregnancy to save you tons of time and ensure you are being safe at exactly your stage in pregnancy. From 33 weeks onward, know you can continue to use any of my 2nd or 3rd trimester workouts listed past 26 weeks on the schedule as long as your body feels up to it. It speaks a lot about you to be taking such good care of yourself (and baby!) this pregnancy! Hope to get to know you more on @GlowBodyPT Instagram.

[@Arodz2023]

These stretches were just what I needed! ❤

[@adrianaalayonmora1528]

so glad that I found your channel. I used to exercise before pregnancy but got a bit scared of hurting the baby so I stopped working out. I´m in my 23 weeks (hope it's not too late) and downloaded you prenatal work out plan and I'm loving it because I know it's safe and made by a professional.

[@cactusrose6646]

Never too late! I have used her prenatal plan 3 times now(well in my third time right now) and it is by far the best I have found.

[@juliannem1084]

Thank goodness these stretching videos are incorporated in the Pregnancy fitness plan as I otherwise never enjoy or take the time to stretch even though I know it is important! I am not flexible and just find stretching so unpleasant compared to cardio and weight workouts. Having them integrated within the plan ensures I make a point of doing it :D

[@glowbodypt]

Julianne, I understand what you said completely! I *need* stretching/mobility/foam rolling routine follow-along videos for myself too, otherwise I'd skip it too! It's so easy for motivated women to feel self-confident "i'll be fine without stretching!" and then end up injured and frustrated. Sometimes it takes MORE discipline to do the "easier" workouts like injury prevention than it does the sweaty, intense routines. Know that I carefully interweave injury prevention and mobility into all of my programming because it really does matter for women who want to be life-long fit and active, not just women who want to be 'skinny' for beach season.

[@joyfulmamma]

Absolutely amazing stretches.

[@Hannah_MK]

I’ve done this many times. 35 weeks now, and it feels sooooo good.

[@callieangeles4623]

BEST pregnancy stretches by far! Thank you!

AWWWE Callie, thanks so much for being so kind!

It was very difficult doing some of these things with my big belly. Shoulder stretches felt great though.

Thank you for this stretching as important as workout! I want more like this!

This is such a great video!! Absolutely loved all the stretches, I can't believe I kept forgetting to watch this video, I was totally missing out. Thanks Ashley!

Awesome stretches!! But boy, did that showcase how terribly tight and out of shape I've gotten from not consistently exercising for the last 4 months. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😳

Thanks so much for this! Exercise has been challenging in the third trimester of my second pregnancy and these stretches definitely helped a lot. Going to do this every day now and check out your other videos!

[@RoyalDiadem23]

I am 14 weeks preggo today so I started your prenatal program yesterday at the 14 weeks mark. BOY did I need this stretch TODAY. THANK YOU!

[@TinyTubeTV]

I can’t thank you enough for your channel and videos! This is my 3rd pregnancy. I could never find any prenatal workouts that weren’t super easy or yoga!! 😂 So thank you!! Would love for you to make more stretch videos... (If I can put in a request 😁)

[@mariannagul]

Thank you!! Been trying to stretch more and more and this is the motivation I needed! Almost 23 weeks, and quarantine gives me all the time to focus on strengthening and stretching 💕✨

[@Amanda-yl5ry]

Amazing amazing video and cool down or just for a great stretch. I love how you describe why this is good for you during pregnancy and what this is warming up to prepare for labor. Super helpful. Makes me feel like I'm reading a book without having to read about this. I hope that makes sense! Thank you!

[@glowbodypt]

That is always my goal! Not just to throw exercises in your face but to coach, educate, and motivate you to take care of yourself with a long term health approach. If you haven't tried it already, you might also really enjoy this routine as you continue to prep mentally and physically for labor and delivery: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGnCZ5V3palkm8U

[@Amanda-yl5ry]

@@glowbodypt Thank you so much! Just saved that video too! You are definitely educating too! I feel like I completely understand why I am doing these workouts as opposed to other ones because of the way it's prepping the body - you explain it so well! And I also trust why they are safe because you explain that as well. I am in my first full week of your schedule and you have literally changed my entire attitude toward pregnancy! I was really worried I wouldn't be able to feel normal again and I'm just starting to! Thank you so so much!

Child's pose Tali wage is a great stretch. Felt it to the max. I've always used child's pose, but the tail wage was a great challenge for my body. Thank you Ashley for your amazing workout plan. I just began following it this week and I absolutely love it!

I do this at least 3X a week. Want to increase to daily. I really love this stretch routine. I can feel the increase in my healthy flexibility as I had gotten really tight from momentary inactivity before starting your program! 🥰🤎

Thanks for your awesome prenatal workouts to keep me strong!

Shortly after doing this, I looked back and he was passed out!! The music and your voice were very calming to him! Loved doing it again!!

GlowBodyPT thank you! I've now reached 36 weeks and I'm having such a hard time even getting a 15 minute workout in. I am so tired!! Granted I have 4 other kiddos I'm running after all day. Should I be slowing down how much I'm working for these last few weeks? I'm not sure what is recommended with working out this far into the 3rd tri. Up to this point I've been working out 4 to 5 times a week anywhere from 10 to 30 mins.
