Side note regarding pain symptoms: it is important to know if you are feeling pain vs. feeling a burn in your muscle. These workouts should result in a muscle burn, but if you feel any sharp or uncomfortable pains, you should stop or modify the workout to avoid pain. Please see the Modifications video in the Welcome to New Wave Fit! Section.

The cardio days suggest walking, swimming or Elliptical as options - but you are free to do whatever you feel comfortable with (please note it should be something your body was previously doing before pregnancy). For example, it's not suggested to start running miles when pregnant if that is not something you have experience with. However, if you were not very active before becoming pregnant and you want to build up your endurance, you may follow the workout plan with walking, swimming, or the Elliptical.

Make sure to monitor any symptoms of dizziness or feeling light-headed and stop exercising if you experience these symptoms, and call your doctor. Please keep in mind it is generally safe to exercise on your back in supine position for a short period of time as long as you are not experiencing any symptoms of dizziness or light-headed. During the second and third trimester, it is recommended to put a pillow underneath your head and shoulders so that you are in an inclined position while exercising in supine. It is also recommended to sleep or rest on your left side during the second and third trimesters.
