Power Squat (Exercise Classification: Advanced)
The following exercise helps strengthen muscles and the cardiovascular system. Start with one set of each exercise for 10 reps(that is, do the exercise 10 times in a row). You can build up slowly to 4 or more sets. You can also combine this exercise with other exercises in the app to create a workout that will challenge the entire body!
Safety tips:
- Always warm up by walking in place for several minutes.
- Perform you exercises on supportive flooring with plenty of room to move.
- Wear athletic shoes and avoid working out on thick carpet that can make movement difficult.
- Don’t push to the point of exhaustion–take a rest if you start to feel out of breath or overheated.
- As your pregnancy progresses, modify the exercises as suggested for comfort and safety, and avoid any exercise that makes your feel unsteady or causes discomfort.
Instructions:
This will be similar to a regular squat except for that you can move a little faster, reduce the depth of the squat, and if you wanted to make it a little bit harder, add a small jump to the end of the movement. You can modify by keeping both feet on the ground at all times.
