To jumpstart the New Year, perinatal exercise specialist Jennifer Johnson has developed a series of prenatal exercises for our For Two Fitness® moms. We will be posting a new video each week, so be sure to check back for your next workout.

Lower body strength is important to support your beautiful growing body. Using your strong lower body to lift will also protect your back.
