Welcome to your 'Trimester 1' Introduction video.
The main goals of strength training throughout your first trimester is to build a solid foundation of strength and to practice neutral alignment and core activation.
Some things to keep in mind as we move forward in this trimester series are the following:
-Work between 12-15 reps per exercise
-Rate of perceived exertion should be 6-7/10
-Avoid exercises which manipulate the 'linea alba' tissue (flexion and extension of the spin, side to side bending and twisting)
