Under 20 minutes and felt perfect! 4 months pregnant and feeling good after this workout.
Joint Mobility Warm Up
Body Weight Back Lunges to a Kick. 15 reps per leg
2 Handed Kettlebell Swings 12kg's 20 reps
One Arm Rows 12kg 10 reps per arm
Kettlebell Push Ups 10 reps
Light Ab work on Bosu 20 reps
Repeated 3 times (took rests as needed)
FInished up
20 Snatches 12kg's 2 sets
Felt like just the right amount. Now I will have the added energy to get through my busy day. And even try and squeeze in a great walk later. Short workouts are ideal for pregnant women. Not too taxing but you can really push yourself enough for this short amount of time. Multiple workouts throughout the day are showing more increased energy rather than 1 long workout a day.

Short Pregnancy Workout with Kettlebells and Body Weight
I'm a fitness, strength, conditioning & nutrition coach that was put here on earth to change peoples lives. I focus on quality of movement, which has helped many people become pain free and strong! My favorite workout tool of choice is your own body weight and adding a kettlebell. Moreover, any tool that helps with strength and quality of movement is incorporated. Fitness is only part of the puzzle to have the happy and healthy quality of life people strive for. With my educational background & experiences nutrition, lifestyle, exercise and a positive mental attitude are all a focus. I design online nutrition & exercise programs as well as create fitness DVD's and videos so people can use my style and methods all around the world. I'm the creator of the "Ultimate Body Sculpt and Conditioning with Kettlebells" series "Baby Bells" DVD, along with The Kettlebell Body, Lightning and Kettlebell Revelation. Being a mother of 4 I know how hard it can be to make health a priority. I truly enjoy helping everyone from all walks of life reach their dream fitness goals to enhance quality of life. It can be done!!!

Thanks for sharing all of this great information! I'm late in the blog reading but I have been following the vids on youtube for tips and techniques.
I do have a question for you...for the swings, the lifts etc, what weight do you use? Currently, I'm using a 15lb kettlebell and wonder if I should push it up higher?
Hi j.m.,
I normally use between a 12kg (26lb) and a 16kg (35lb) Kettlebell. Now that I am pregnant I only use an 8kg and a 12kg for most things.
You may want to push it to at least an 18lb. But it really all depends on how your body feels.
I hope this helps!
