5 Day Split for all Body Types T1, T2, T3
So if the main goal is maintaining Muscle mass/ toning you want to be training as much as you can with all the rest you need to allow your muscles to recover and grown. Every body shape is different so that means training specific areas to create a better balance. This is a good split for strengthening whilst pregnant, just take extra care due to your balance and joint laxity so make sure you are stable and don't push your range too far.
For those of you PEAR SHAPED then try and work on your upper body more, particularly your shoulders and back to create a more hourglass figure so go for something like- Legs, Back and Chest, Legs and Glutes, Shoulders, Back and Chest.
For the hourglass or those of you who want to get a better, bigger bum and/ or your less curvy then try- Legs and glutes, Back and Chest, Legs, Shoulders, Legs and Glutes.
Please make sure you warm up and cool down first and reduce the weight you lift by 10% through each Trimester.
