THE WORKOUTS
Trimester-specific workouts, all under 30 minutes
You get 16 workouts, 4–5 days a week, made to meet the needs of each trimester and new motherhood. Focus on total-body strength and stamina while improving mobility with functional moves like the “crib reach.” A modifier and an intensifier let you choose a level that feels right for your body.
Trimester 1
These foundational workouts emphasize activities of everyday life (ADLs), so you’re prepared as you adapt to pregnancy even if you’ve never worked out before.
Trimester 2
You’ll continue to master your ADLs but the primary focus shifts to labor-intensive interval training (LIIT) to prepare you for the surges of labor.
Trimester 3
Longer intervals prepare you for the demands of labor and motherhood, while AMRAPs (as many reps as possible) help mimic labor progressions.
Postnatal
Once you’re cleared for exercise by your doctor, rebuild your core strength with these moves (modified for C-section mamas) specifically designed for postpartum.
BONUS 10-Minute Enhancements
Add a quick, focused burn to any day in any trimester, or squeeze in a standalone session anytime life gets busy.
PLUS I AM Meditations and Breathwork
Stay centered with powerful daily affirmations and learn techniques that support healthy breathing while enhancing total-body awareness.
Total-Body Strength
This is a total-body strength workout that will fire up your metabolism and define your shoulders, arms, glutes, and thighs.
Metabolic Sweat
Shay's favorite: Crush calories using only a light pair of dumbbells in these fast-paced resistance circuits. Goes so fast you'll be blown away.
High-Intensity Power
You’ve been working hard, so now it’s time to focus on dialing-in your form, stability, mobility, and overall power.
Lower and Upper Body Strength
These targeted training days lift, shape, and firm in all the right places. Sometimes fashion isn't just about the clothes, it's how you feel in them.
