I decided to do a revamp of last year’s beach body workout since I have been beaching with some of my girlfriends this week. I always said when I was pregnant that I wouldn’t wear bikinis, wouldn’t let people take pictures of my belly, etc, etc…Little did I know that I have never felt more beautiful than I do pregnant. There is something so amazing about a woman’s body growing a child and I have been able to workout pretty consistently since the end of my first trimester. I wrote this workout for all people to do, and just a few modifications for pregnant women. Enjoy!
