Entrepreneur and influencer Hannah Bronfman is pregnant with her second child and shows no signs of stopping the aspirational fitness content we know and love her for. Now about halfway through her pregnancy, the 35-year-old shared a video on Instagram showcasing what a week of her prenatal workouts looks like at five months pregnant — and whether you're expecting or not, you'll want to take notes.
The video shows her hitting up a Tracy Anderson class, sweating with celeb trainer Kira Stokes, doing a reformer Pilates session, fitting in a strength workout at home using a Tonal device, taking a P.volve class, and finishing the week with a 12-3-30 session. In all, it looks like a balanced week of workouts for anyone, pregnant or otherwise. Here's a little bit more about each of the workouts she showcases:
Real talk: while this prenatal workout routine may work for Bronfman, it might be a lot of exercise for some expecting parents. Your activity levels during pregnancy will depend on how much you exercised before you became pregnant and also on what feels comfortable to you. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week for pregnant people, which is on par with the exercise recommendations for the general population. But if you're new to exercise, you should start out slowly and gradually increase your activity, per ACOG, and no matter what, always chat with your doctor before jumping into a fitness routine when pregnant.
Bronfman, who has a 2-year-old son with her husband, Brendan Fallis, only shared the news of her second pregnancy a few days prior to posting this workout montage. She shared an Instagram photo of her sitting in a bath, holding her pregnant belly, announcing that she's due in late spring/early summer. In the caption, she wrote: "baby number 2 wasn't an easy lift and we'll share more about our journey, promise. To all the parents and partners who have had to go deep and find their emotional perseverance, we see you and hold space for you."
As promised, a few days later, Bronfman shared a video showing a glimpse into the fertility journey she and Fallis went through to have this baby, including IVF and losing a pregnancy in June 2022. "Finally letting out a sigh of relief knowing I'm half way through this pregnancy — it's so hard to relax when you've lost a pregnancy and gone through so many needles and blood work to even make it happen," she wrote in the caption. "There is still so much to unpack here but just showing a glimpse into what it took for our family to grow hopefully will normalize all the journeys."
Here's hoping Bronfman's pregnancy continues to progress safely for both mom and baby . . . and that her prenatal workout routine keeps looking this good.
