The Secret to a Happy First Trimester: Moving Like Jagger (Gently)
Let's face it – some days you feel like steering a ship through a smoothie sea of stormy hormones. But moving your body, even if it might resemble a baby sloth, can miraculously elevate your mood and energy levels!
Imagine a workout so gentle that even your cat side-eyes your effort. We’re talking about gentle yoga, stretching, and super mild cardio. These exercises are the Beyoncé of low impact: fierce, fabulous, but fabulously approachable. So, put on those maternity leggings and let’s move!
1. 
Gentle Yoga: Because Pretzels Aren't Just for Snacks
Forget about bending like a pretzel on Instagram. Your first trimester is all about gentle flows that nurture your changing body. Keep it Zen with poses like Cat-Cow, Child’s Pose (which, let’s be honest, you're going to love as you may drift off in it), and Side Stretches.
Remember, you’re channeling Yoga Goddess Vibes, not a Cirque du Soleil audition. Take it easy, enjoy the moments of peace, and don’t forget to take silly selfies as you go. Fun fact: gentle yoga is a fab way to ease morning sickness and introduce little sprout to their first calming breaths.

2. Walking: Power Up Your Stroll
Who knew walking could be so, dare we say, revolutionary? Well, queens, it’s time to sashay your way around the neighborhood. Pop in your favorite podcast, but keep those steps slow to a chill pace. Flaunt those maternity leggings as you parade down your street like the runway star you are.
If feeling adventurous, a leisurely outdoor walk in the park will help you soak in much-needed Vitamin D. Just keep in mind: strutting like the boss you are requires snazzy kicks and a great playlist!
