It all depends on your current fitness routine and goals. If you re doing strength training workouts with good form, you ARE training your abs and core in every workout. But I suggest adding this prenatal core workout to your workout routine 2-3 days a week during the first and second trimesters. ๐A well-rounded fitness plan will include a variety of workouts.

You want to avoid any exercises that cause coning or doming in the midsection.
