MONDAY
Fitness: Reverse Fly, 10 to 20 reps
(Using light dumbbells, soup cans, or no weight at all, go for 20 reps to help open up your chest and lengthen your spine.) Stand in a hinged-over position, keeping your back flat while keeping a light core engagement to support your back and arms and reach down towards the ground. Exhale as you use your middle back muscles to reach your arms out and away from you. (Feel as though you are slightly sticking out your chest.) Inhale to return to start.

TUESDAY
Superfood of the Day: Beef
Lean cuts of top sirloin steak are filled with good protein, B12, B6, niacin, iron, and zinc and can help your baby with cognitive development. Add lean-cut steak to your favorite salad, stir fry, pasta, or chili.
WEDNESDAY
Meditation: Take a Bath
Submerging yourself in water (not too hot) helps to relieve pressure in the body. It also creates a serene space for you and baby to have a bonding moment. Let go and relax into it. Remember how beautiful it is to be carrying a baby in your belly.

WEDNESDAY
Yoga: Triangle Pose
This wide stance and full body extension helps you find more balance and strength. When you feel tense or a little out of control, this is a great go-to pose. Extend your energy and breath to the ground and to the sky.

THURSDAY
Fitness: 30-Minute Walk
Recommended: Use BellyBuds paired with WavHello Studios Rock Album - Gentle Instrumental Versions of Rock Classics.
Taking a walk out in nature brings a calm, loving energy to your system. You and your baby will feel it. Look at the flowers, smell the air, and feel the breeze. When you awaken your senses, your body comes alive and rejuvenation occurs. Walking for just 30 minutes during your pregnancy will help keep your heart strong and muscles toned.
FRIDAY
Beauty: Prevent Puffy Eyes
To help with those puffy eyes in the morning, press a cold spoon, cucumber, or gel mask under your eyes.
