53. Can You Start Working Out During Pregnancy if You Weren’t Active Before? Here’s the Truth
If you weren’t working out regularly before pregnancy, you might be wondering: Is it even safe to start now?
Spoiler: yes, it is — and it can make a huge difference in how you feel.
In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Megan breaks down one of the most common questions she gets as a pregnancy personal trainer: "Can I start exercising in pregnancy if I wasn’t active before?"
We bust the outdated myths, walk through the ACOG guidelines for prenatal fitness, and share how you can start small, build confidence, and actually enjoy movement during pregnancy.
Whether you're dealing with pregnancy aches and pains or just want to feel stronger and more capable heading into birth, this episode gives you permission (and a practical plan) to move your body — no matter your fitness background.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What the research and guidelines really say about starting workouts in pregnancy
- How to safely ease into prenatal exercise, even if you’re starting from scratch
- Real-life client results from new exercisers
- Tips from a certified prenatal fitness coach for working out with confidence
