I’m a 6-months-pregnant fitness trainer — my top 5 tips for working out with a belly
Alissa Mosca, 33, is a USA Weightlifting coach and a Planet Fitness trainer who is 6 months pregnant with her first child — and she hasn’t let her bundle of joy get in the way of her burpee
“My workout routine has stayed the same since getting pregnant,” she told The Post. “I work out five days a week. The only adjustments that I have had to make are reducing my weights on heavy load days. Where I would normally be able to max out pre-pregnancy, I strength train at around 60-70% of that currently.”
Granted, in her first trimester, she wasn’t entirely at ease doing crunches, which she chalks up to “more nerves than anything” — as it’s generally considered safe to do abdominal exercises while pregnant so long as you consult with your healthcare provider and make modifications to avoid putting too much strain on your muscles.
