Pon en marcha el temporizador cuando empieces, y no olvides registrar tu ejercicio una vez hayas terminado.
Este es el primer día de la 8ª semana de entrenamientos programados en los Entrenamientos para Embarazadas Principiantes BumptUp.
Start the timer when you begin, and don’t forget to log your exercise once you’re finished.
Remember to complete full and proper warm up to activate all of our target muscle groups, as well as to get your heart rate up so you feel ready to move!!
Standard Warm Up
Here is a link to a 5 minute dynamic stretching warmup! The warm up is critical to make the most of your workout. Prepare your body to move at its best with a series of activation exercises before we move into our working sets.
Set a timer for 25 minutes.
Work through the required reps for each exercise before moving to the next one. Complete as many rounds as possible within the 25 minute time limit.

- Start in a plank position with your hands below your shoulders, body straight and legs extending behind you.
- Bring one knee to your chest and then switch to the opposite knee.
- Maintain a quick pace and if your hands are uncomfortable in a flat palm position, make a fist instead so you avoid extending your wrist or grasp hands weights and balance on them.
- Modification: To make this easier, place your hands on a sturdy couch, chair, counter, or wall. The higher your hands, the easier the exercise.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Hold weights in each hand with the arms at the sides, palms forward.
- Curl both arms up toward the chest with the elbows bent at the sides.
- Return to start position.
