As many of you saw on Facebook, I was at a conference in Costa Mesa, Cali this weekend. Anytime I travel I get creative with workouts in my hotel room. Even though most of the places I stay have adequate gyms, I really enjoy rolling out of bed on to the floor and getting my sweat on. It’s just easier and more efficient. And if I don’t have to venture to the hotel gym, I get to sleep in a for a little longer in the huge king size bed all by myself!
I taped a demo of this workout for you. It’s the first workout workout I’ve posted since becoming pregnant. My cardio is out of control. In your first trimester of pregnancy your blood volume doubles, which places a huge (and overwhelming) demand on your cardiovascular system. Man, do I feel that!!! It’s getting a little bit better, day by day. Thank goodness. I’m not using to huffing and puffing so much. You’ll see in this video – I cannot talk and exercise at the same time. At all.
BTW, this workout is safe during pregnancy as long as it is on par with your current level of fitness. This is just like what I did before pregnancy for workouts, so my body is quite used to this kind of intensity. Also, I’m listening to my body closely and taking additional rest between exercises & sets whenever needed.
This workout is really fun and super simple -just the way I like to sweat.
Here it it:
50 Jumping Jacks
40 Slaloms
30 Jump Squats
20 Push Ups
10 Burpee Long Jumps
Perform the entire set without rest. Rest 1 minute. Perform 3-5 sets.
Leave a comment below after you do the workout and let me know whatcha think!

Was looking around on the web for something for moms and fitness. Came across your videos’. This looks great and something new to try and change up my routine with. Would be great to do outsides…. now that it’s warmer out! Thanks!
