This pregnancy upper body workout is packed with what I believe to be the best upper body exercises for a strong pregnancy and postpartum!! These exercises hit all of the major muscle groups in the upper body, the back, chest, shoulders, biceps, and triceps using just dumbbells! The structure and overall goal of this workout is to maintain and build muscle, plus muscular endurance!

This is a great workout for all trimesters, while of course listening to your body and adjusting where needed!

In this strength training workout, we will work through functional exercises that are beneficial during pregnancy, think about maintaining strength to have more energy during pregnancy, and prepare for delivery! Maintaining fitness for postpartum will help with all of the new things we will be doing as moms, things like carrying a car seat, holding your little cutie for hours because you just don't want to put them down, and pushing a stroller! Not to mention that maintaining muscle will help so much with recovery too!
