Great final workout! I’m 27 weeks and finished the program. I’m going to start over now and work back through! Thanks for the awesome program that’s made me feel stronger during pregnancy. 🤍

This program is amazing! Currently 23 weeks and I think I’ll repeat this to keep me active up until I deliver😋

Completed all 6 weeks of this program going into my 37th week of pregnancy today! Can’t thank you enough for creating such an awesome, low-impact plan for expecting mamas to follow! It helped me maintain my athleticism throughout the end of my pregnancy without risking any injury to myself or baby. ❤️
