Push-Ups for Every Trimester of Your Pregnancy & After Baby

Push-Ups for Every Trimester of Your Pregnancy & After Baby

Push-ups: do you dread them? Revel in them? Wish you could do better? The fact is push-ups come easier to men than women due to the simple fact men have 20% more muscle mass in their upper body. While they may target the upper body, they are also a fast and effective way to build core strength and overall general conditioning. With modifications, push-ups can be done throughout pregnancy and postpartum to help keep you well conditioned throughout your motherhood journey.
