What is PregActive?
PregActive is a 12-minute pregnancy and postpartum health and fitness program designed specifically for pregnant and postpartum women. It combines short, efficient workouts with pelvic floor and deep core training so you can stay strong, manage common pregnancy symptoms, and prepare for birth and recovery even when time and energy are limited.
Workouts are trimester-specific (or recovery-stage specific), require little or no equipment, and bridge seamlessly into postpartum core rehab and return-to-lifting. You also get a full library of 10–30 minute options when you have more time or energy.

FAQ
Quick answers to the most common questions about PregActive, pregnancy exercise, and postpartum recovery. If you have any more quesions please send us an email >
Is PregActive 12 safe during pregnancy?
Yes. PregActive follows current exercise-in-pregnancy guidelines from organisations such as ACOG and ACSM. The program is designed by a women’s health-focused trainer and is recommended by OBGYNs, midwives, and women’s health physiotherapists.
Can I do PregActive in every trimester?
Yes. The program is structured so it can be used throughout pregnancy. Workouts are modified by trimester - lower intensity and more rest in the first trimester, progressive strength in the second, and greater focus on mobility, birth preparation, and energy management in the third.
How long are the workouts?
The workouts are designed to be completed in approximately 12 minutes. This makes it realistic for busy or fatigued pregnant and postpartum women while still delivering meaningful strength, pelvic floor, and mobility work. Our library offers longer workouts up to 45 minutes.
Will this help with pelvic floor issues like leaking?
Yes. Pelvic floor training is built into the program rather than treated as a separate exercise. The combination of targeted pelvic floor work and the Hug & Wrap technique helps many women reduce or prevent stress incontinence and improve overall pelvic floor awareness and control during pregnancy and postpartum.
Is PregActive suitable after a C-section or for diastasis recti?
Yes. PregActive includes progressive options that support C-section recovery and diastasis recti. The focus on breathing, deep core connection, and controlled pressure makes it a popular choice for women working on abdominal recovery.
Are Workouts Aligned with ACOG?
Yes. Workouts are designed to align with ACOG guidance of at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week for uncomplicated pregnancies, delivered in 10–12 minute sessions.
Is 12-minute pregnancy exercise enough?
Yes. 12-minute workouts are achievable for busy mamas. Your goal is to achieve 150 minutes each week.
How does Lift, Hug & Wrap differ from regular Kegels?
Regular Kegels isolate the pelvic floor with a simple squeeze-and-release. PregActive’s Lift, Hug & Wrap is a coordinated system that links breath, pelvic floor, and deep core so they work together to manage intra-abdominal pressure.
How Does PregActive Compare to Competitors?
The majority of programs only focus on core and diastasis recti recovery. Others only offer strength and pelvic integration options. PregActive stands out by combining these elements into one continuous pathway from planning through long-term postpartum, with short sessions and the Hug & Wrap technique built in.Â
