WELCOME
Welcome to your pregnancy fitness plan: a plan I wrote to provide you with all the tools and resources you
need to look and feel your best during this prenatal phase.
I created these Mom Plans because I saw a gap in the market. Pregnancy is a precious time and we need
workouts that are safe yet effective. I also believe it is a time when women should continue to prioritize their
needs.
When I became a mom to my two boys, Leo and Beckham, I quickly learned that I could not pour from an
empty cup. Making time for myself through workouts helped me be my best self and therefore, the best
mom I can be.
I also learned that being a mom-to-be and being a mom in general requires great time management.
Another gap I encountered with pregnancy and postpartum workouts was the lack of efficiency. If I am going
to take time out of my life to work out, I want the workouts to be effective. That is exactly what you will find in
my Mom Plans.
These plans are so special to me. I truly feel as though I experienced enjoyable, healthy pregnancies and a
quick recovery because of these Mom Plans. I used them with both of my boys and I couldn’t be prouder of
the results I personally experienced.
It is an honor to share these plans with you. I hope they help you feel more energized, comfortable,
confident, happy and healthy. I am grateful to be able to support you during this special time in your life.
Let’s get going!

EXERCISE +
PREGNANCY
BENEFITS
The best place to begin is with a discussion on why
we should stay active while pregnant. According
to ACOG (American College of Obstetricians
and Gynocologists), “if you are healthy and your
pregnancy is normal, it is safe to continue or start
most types of exercise.”
EXERCISING DURING
PREGNANCY MAY HELP
•
reduce backaches, constipation, bloating
and swelling
•
decrease your risk of gestational diabetes,
preeclampsia and cesarean delivery
As a general rule of thumb - something ACOG
suggests and something my OB suggested to me
- how you were working out prior to pregnancy
is generally safe to continue during pregnancy
with necessary modifications. In most cases, it is
even recommended to stay physically active while
pregnancy; of course, your heath care provider’s
approval is required before you begin any exercise
plan.
•
maintain and promote muscle strength
•
promote healthy weight gain
•
boost your energy and mood
•
improve overall well-being
•
keep proper posture as your body changes
•
aid in better sleep
•
ability to cope with labor pains
•
With both of my pregnancies, I found one of the
greatest challenges was staying motivated to
workout. Keeping in mind the many benefits of
exercising during pregnancy helped me want to
workout, which I did all the way up until I gave birth.
shorter labor due to strong muscles required for
pushing
•
quicker postpartum recovery
•
faster return to pre-pregnancy weight
I often say that when we understand the why (as in
why exercise during pregnancy is beneficial), we are
more likely to stick with it, so here are some of the
top benefits.
NOTE: you must consult with your heath
care provider before starting any new
exercise routine or this plan
“I experienced all of those benefits and I believe
exercising during pregnancy aided in my pleasant,
comfortable pregnancy and quick recovery.”

MY PRENATAL
EXPERIENCE
I worked out up until my due date with both of my pregnancies. It was without a doubt one of the best
decisions I made for myself and my babies while pregnant. When you become a mom, you realize more than
ever that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Being the best mom you can be starts with you feeling the very
best you can. Exercising during and after pregnancy is not selfish rather a form of self love. I wanted to share
a few things from my prenatal fitness experience that I thought you may find helpful.
Exercising During Pregnancy
Helped Me Feel Like Me
Pregnancy can be a mental struggle as much as
it can be a physical struggle. For me, this was
especially true. I am a go-getter, a doer, a mover
and a shaker. I like to tackle my to do list and I thrive
off of accomplishments. Pregnancy forces you to
slow down a bit, which was difficult for me to accept
at times.
Because exercise is such a big part of who I am,
keeping up with my workout regimen helped me
feel most like me during a time when everything was
changing. The gym became my place to focus on
myself. You know weight training is my favorite style
of exercise, so I chose to stick with that and add in
cardio and stretching: all of which you will find in
this plan.
8 | 2019 Pregnancy Fitness Plan
MY PRENATAL
EXPERIENCE
Shift from Looking Good to
Feeling Good and Being Healthy
At some point during pregnancy, you make the mental shift from working out to look good to working out
to feel good and to stay healthy. It’s not always easy to feel your body getting bigger and to become more
physically limited - I struggled with that.
I learned that the more active I remained, the better I felt: physically and mentally.
Physically, this becomes especially true as pregnancy progresses. The last trimester of pregnancy can be
uncomfortable. Motion is lotion. The more I moved, the better I felt. On days I didn’t want to go to the gym, I
did it anyway simply because I knew I would feel better after.
Mentally, when it comes to exercise, let’s look at the science. Exercise releases endorphins. Endorphins are
called the “happy hormone” because they interact with receptors in the brain to reduce the perception of
pain. They also trigger positive, euphoric feelings within the body similar to what would be the effects of
morphine. Working out throughout my pregnancies was beneficial for my mental health and overall wellbeing.
Many of you are familiar with my first son, Leo and his fibular hemimelia diagnosis that we discovered at his
20 week anatomy scan. If you haven’t read it, you can read this blog post I made regarding Leo’s leg. This
opened my eyes to how important it is to prioritize health during pregnancy for both myself and my baby.
We are given the privilege of growing a precious life inside of us; I tried to maintain the perspective that it
was my job to help him grow into a healthy, strong human and that began with me.
Pregnancy = Postpartum
There seems to be a greater focus on postpartum fitness and “getting your pre-baby body back” than there
is a focus on prenatal fitness. This is something I noticed and an area where I thought I could offer a better
solution for myself and others.
What we do during our 9 months of pregnancy highly impacts our postpartum experience. I entered both
pregnancies with the mindset that if I continued to keep up with my healthy lifestyle, I could make my
postpartum recovery easier and get back to my pre-baby fitness level faster.
Let’s be real… pregnancy can often be used as an excuse to give into every craving and become less active.
Of course, I worked out less than normal and of course, I enjoyed more treats. Still, I continued to eat
nutrient-dense, balanced meals and workout as often as I felt I could.
I credit a lot of my postpartum “success” to what I did while pregnant. I don’t want to ever promote
pregnancy as a time to tighten up your nutrition or to become more series in the gym; that’s not what I am
suggesting. I just want to share that I made my postpartum journey easier by working out and eating mildly
healthy while pregnant.
https://laurengleisberg.com/leos-leg-part-1/
WHY I CHOSE TO
PRIMARILY LIFT
WEIGHTS
9 | 2019 Pregnancy Fitness Plan
You will need your healthcare provider’s approval before beginning this exercise plan or any prenatal
workouts. Like I mentioned, my OB gave me the instructions that I could continue working out in the same
style that I had been doing prior to becoming pregnant. For me, I lift weights, so that is what I continued
during pregnancy.
Why I Lifted Weights While Pregnant
1
Muscle = Increased BMR
This is one of the top reasons I like weight training in general and why I found it beneficial during pregnancy. In
general, our muscle cells are metabolic furnaces; they eat up calories just to sustain themselves. This means
that more muscle can lead to an increased BMR (basal metabolic rate), which is the amount of calories we burn
at rest.
Weight training is the most effective workout method I’ve found to build and sustain muscle. During pregnancy, I
lifted to promote muscle mass, which in turn helped me continue to burn a high amount of calories even as my
workouts slowed down.
2
STRENGTH, YOU NEED IT
Hands down the greatest benefit I found to lifting while pregnant was my strength. A growing belly and a
changing body requires a strong mama. Lifting allowed me to stay strong as my body changed.
Pregnancy leads up to one big moment: childbirth. You will need all the strength possible to get yourself across
that finish line and deliver your precious baby. Lifting throughout pregnancy helped me feel strong throughout
those 9 months and on that one, very important delivery day.
3
MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
The theme of everything I share for a healthy, happy prenatal and postnatal experience has to do with you
feeling your very best. I enjoy weight training on a regular basis. I knew the best way for me to feel most like
myself was to continue lifting throughout pregnancy. With your healthcare provider’s consent, do more of what
makes you feel like you.
10 | 2019 Pregnancy Fitness Plan
PRENATAL
MODIFICATIONS
L ower I mpact due to
I ncreased F lexibility
It is the body’s job during pregnancy to prepare us
for delivery. One of the changes you can expect
to notice is an increase in flexibility. Pregnancy
hormones, like relaxin, cause connective tissues
like those that support our joints to become more
relaxed. This is helpful for childbirth but something
we have to be aware of during workouts. This
increased flexibility and joint mobility puts us at
a greater risk of injury, which is why I eliminate
high-impact exercises and move through exercises
slowly.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE
•
Hydrate properly before, during and after
your workout
•
Avoid holding your breath during exercises
•
Keep from lifting maximally
•
Limit exercises that require you to lie on
your back •
Exercise in climate controlled environments to
prevent overheating
•
Know the warning signs to look for if you need to
stop exercise & contact your healthcare provider
immediately
L ighter W eight + P roper
F orm to K eep B alanced
A growing baby and belly leads to a shift in our
center of gravity. You can expect to feel less stable
as pregnancy progresses, which is why I lower
the weight I use. I also focus on core activation
and proper alignment to keep balanced during
workouts. See the following page for proper form.
L ower I ntensity to
A ccommodate a
D ecrease in E ndurance
The first major change I notice during pregnancy is
that my cardiovascular endurance and breathing
change. Pregnancy brings a greater oxygen demand
and an increased pressure of the uterus on the
diaphragm. You can expect to become short of
breath more easily during pregnancy. For this
reason, I lower my overall workout intensity.
“Trust yourself! You know your body more than
anyone else, so listen to the cues it gives you.”

ACTIVATION +
ALIGNMENT
ACTIVATION
ALIGNMENT
Belly Button to Spine
Proper Posture
Proper form begins with an activated core. To
effectively engage the core muscles, think of
drawing your belly button into your spine.
Below, I will outline the simple steps to align your
body. It is especially important to align your body
and keep your core properly activated during all
exercises.
Practice this in a standing position with feet hipwidth apart. As you draw your belly button back
to your spine, you will notice your pelvis slightly
rotates to a neutral position and your chest opens
up. These are signs you are practicing this check
correctly and engaging your deep core muscles.
You will want to perform all your exercises from this
core-engaged position.
https://laurengleisberg.com/leos-leg-part-1/
•
Begin with your feet pointing forward
•
Hold your head high and keep the chin in
•
Ever so slightly pinch together your shoulder
blades to open the chest
•
Slightly rotate your pelvis to a neutral position
(your butt should not be sticking out and your
tailbone should not be completely tucked under)
•
A straight line should run from your head,
through your shoulders, hips and knees and
down to your feet)

PLAN OVERVIEW
INSTRUCTIONS
These weighted workouts are designed to take around 30 minutes or less to complete. However, the exact
time will depend on how long it takes you to complete each movement and how long you decide to rest.
The workouts are divided by trimester and decrease in intensity and frequency as pregnancy progresses.
Further, each trimester is broken down by each week of your pregnancy for an easy-to-follow format. Each
page contains a new workout and there are photo demonstrations of every exercise to help demonstrate
form.

mama instincts
13 | 2019 Pregnancy Fitness Plan
As you will soon learn, trusting your mama instincts will help you navigate through
this next chapter of your life. You may hear a lot of outside chatter but the little voice
in your head… the gut feeling you get… that intuition… allow that to be your guiding
force.
I find this to be true for my workouts as well. You know your body best, especially
during pregnancy. You can use these workouts as a guide but never let these
suggestions override your mama instincts or your health care provider’s
recommendations.
In these workouts, you will see suggestions for sets, reps and rests. Those are
simply suggestions. If you’re extra tired one day, listen to your mama instincts and
scale back on the sets. If you’re noticing you get winded faster, listen to your mama
instincts and rest longer. You know what I mean!
Modifying this plan is the best thing you can do for both yourself and your baby. You
will still be experiencing all of the great benefits of exercising while pregnant. Plus, I
personally feel my best when I am trusting my mama intuition.
You’ve got this, mama…
14 | 2019 Pregnancy Fitness Plan
WORKOUTS
Weeks 5-13
1 TRIMESTER
st
You just found out you’re expecting a baby… congratulations! Now, you are likely wondering how you
proceed with working out while pregnant. First things first, ask your healthcare provider! I’m not a medical
professional and because every mama’s needs are different, I do not suggest working out unless you have
your doctor’s approval.
These are the exact workouts I followed in my 1st trimester while pregnant with both of my boys. You’ll
notice that these workouts are fairly similar to a typical LG style workout with a few modifications. Overall, I
lowered the intensity of my workout. This comes through lowering the weight being used and resting for as
long as needed (even if it’s different than the suggested rest).
The greatest workout challenge in the first trimester, for me, was a lack of energy. The first trimester is often
accompanied with fatigue and nausea, so the motivation to workout is lessened. I focused on working out
during the times of the day I felt my best. I also noticed that working out actually helped with my energy and
overall wellbeing - that is motivation!
Just a few notes… these workouts begin at week 5 because most women don’t find our they are pregnant
until week 5 or after. Also, as for training, in the first trimester, I continued to do exercises that involved a
push up position as well as ones where I would lay on my back. This felt great for me but listen to your body
and healthcare provider in doing what is best for you. As my belly got bigger, I slowly eliminated both of
those types of exercises.
You may also add in cardio where you see fit. Finally, I arrange the workouts by number (days 1-5 for
example) so that you can pick the days of the week you decide to work out.

Weeks 14-26
2 TRIMESTER
ND
Welcome to the second trimester: weeks 14-26. Many women talk about the second trimester as “blissful”
and for me that was pretty true. I felt an increase in energy and while there are obvious physical limitations,
I wasn’t yet uncomfortable. During the second trimester of both of my pregnancies, I really enjoyed working
out.
In the second trimester workout plan, we will scale back by 1 workout per week. There are 3 weighted
workouts and 1 cardio/stretching workout in this section. You will notice a push/pull/legs/cardio training
split. If you are unfamiliar, this training spit is designed to promote muscle hypertrophy, ensuring we
target all of our muscle groups in just 3 workouts. Push workouts primarily target the chest, shoulders and
triceps. Pull workouts primarily target the back, biceps and rear deltoids. Leg workouts primarily target the
quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. As always, modify as you see fit.

Weeks 27-40
3 TRIMESTER
RD
Hello there, third trimester: weeks 27-40. As we head into the homestretch of pregnancy, it is especially
important to listen to those mama instincts and use our workouts as a way to help us feel more
comfortable. Motion is lotion for the body. My third trimester workouts became more difficult to complete
each week, which is why I continued to lower the intensity. Still, I did workout up until 40 weeks because of
how much better I would physically and mentally feel after each workout.
In the third trimester workout plan, we will scale back by an additional 1 workout per week. There are just 3
workouts per week: upper body, legs and cardio. I did create an optional weighted total body workout each
week if you are feeling up for it. As always, modify as you see fit.
