Hi mamas! It’s Becky from over at @goodfortheswole again, and I have an amazing upper body burner for us to do together today!

I am a week away from having my baby, but don’t let this low impact workout deceive you - it was still challenging and got my upper body fired up!

This workout is suitable for pregnancy, once you’ve been cleared to exercise postpartum, and for those with diastasis recti! As always, it’s so important to listen to YOUR body, and to pay attention to the feedback it’s giving you.
Be sure to stop if you feel any pelvic pressure or pain, experience any incontinence during the exercise, or see any coning/doming/bulging in your stomach while performing these moves. If you notice any of the above, please stop and re-engage your deep core, and try again. If you still notice it, it’s best to avoid that exercise for now.

Here’s the workout. Let me know if you try it out!
