Our busy day-to-day schedules can sometimes make it difficult to find time to exercise. But it is possible to do full-body workout in the comfort of your own home with very limited equipment!
No matter where you are in your journey, pregnancy or not, you can tailor this workout to fit your fitness level and get a killer burn! The goal is to move daily, and there really is no reason you can’t work with the limited time and equipment you may have. Check out my Full-Body Circuit Workout and let me know what you think!

Exercise Descriptions
Side-to-side squats with resistance band: Staying in a squat position, step to the right, bring foot back to middle, then step out with the other foot.
Side-to-side shoulder front raises: Stand with feet a little more than shoulder-width, and arms at your side holding dumbbells. Twist your body to one side, bring opposite arm to a front raise. Lower as you twist to other side, and repeat.
Floor butt blaster: Start on your hands and knees. Keeping knee bent, lift one leg up and drive the heel to the ceiling.
Hip thruster on bench: You can begin seated on the ground with a bench behind you. Lift your hips off of the ground and position feet such that your shins are in line with your ankles. Then, thrust your hips up vertically— your shoulder blades and feet should be supporting your weight. Slowly lower and repeat.
