Your guide to gentle pregnancy fitness

This routine, which is suitable for any trimester, helps with alignment, muscle awareness – and targets your core.

Your core supports your growing bump, keeps you steady on your feet, helps kick back pain to the curb and even preps you for the big push, all while making you feel more like yourself in a body that's changing daily. Remember, your ‘core’ isn't just your abs – it's a team of muscles, including those around your back, working together to provide support for your entire body.

Don’t worry, it’s still a super gentle workout and only takes around six minutes, so is easy to slot into your daily routine.

While jumping around before bed isn't ideal, gentle exercise like deep breathing and stretching can actually improve your sleep. And good sleep is essential during pregnancy to help boost your energy, support baby's development and improve your overall wellbeing.

This short video combines stretches, mindfulness and breathing exercises to help you release tension and quiet the mind, making it easier to drift off to sleep.
