Why Choose Strongmama?
Hello, I’m Dorottya Soós-Gáll, a pre- and postnatal trainer and mother of two.
I created a workout program that I would have needed during my pregnancies.
It provides support from the very first moment. It teaches proper breathing and exercise techniques, helps position the baby correctly, and prepares your body for childbirth.
The main part of the program allows for flexible adjustment of workout duration and intensity, so you can match the workout to your daily condition.

FAQs
You can start the program at any stage of your pregnancy. The main part of the program begins after medical approval, even in the first trimester. If you want to start earlier, the plan includes a very gentle exercise section that you can start right after a positive test.
Essential:
Softball/Pilates ball (an inflatable beach ball will also work)
Resistance band (recommended resistance of 15 kg)
Miniband
Chair or sofa
Optional but recommended:
Dumbbells (adjustable dumbbells or one heavier (6-10kg) and one lighter (2-5kg) dumbbell/kettlebell)
Fitball
You have lifetime access to the program, so you can use it during any future pregnancies as well.
The main part of the program includes full-body resistance workouts tailored to your current gestational week. Each exercise comes with a video guide where I demonstrate and explain the technique.
The program includes 3 workout days per week, which can be done in 25 or 45-minute versions.
The workout program progressively intensifies, so you will perform the same exercises for 4-6 weeks.

The workout program progressively intensifies, so you will perform the same exercises for 4-6 weeks.
A full workout is 40-45 minutes, but if you have less time, you can just do the warm-up and the first block, which takes 25-30 minutes depending on the rest periods.
Supplementary videos are 5-10 minutes long.
Each exercise has a minimum of two, but up to four difficulty levels, so you can choose the version that suits your fitness level and available equipment.
This way, the program can be done by complete beginners or advanced users.
In the 3rd trimester, you will find a set of exercises that may help your baby turn into the head-down position.
Only do the program at your own risk and with your doctor’s approval.
