Blake Lively’s Personal Trainer Don Saladino Shares Her Pregnancy Workouts: We Try to Be ‘Consistent’

usmagazine.com:

Health first! Amid Blake Lively’s fourth pregnancy, she has continued her fitness training with wellness coach Don Saladino.“[Blake’s workout routines] really haven’t [changed] much,” Saladino exclusively told Us Weekly at the Strong New York Fitness and Wellness Festival on Saturday, October 1. “You know, we’re watching the ballistics a little bit.

I know in the first trimester things change a little bit, but all in all, she’s always had a good foundation.”Still, the “D&D Fitness Radio” podcast host noted that he did tweak the 35-year-old A Simple Favor star’s regimen slightly in order to accommodate certain pregnancy restrictions.“We’re removing any jumping, any ballistics [and] we’re really staying away from the cardio,” Saladino told Us at the New York City festival on Saturday. “We’re trying to keep things a little bit more stationary.

Always a lot of split stance. We don’t have her laying flat on her back. We’re not putting her legs inverted. So, everything’s really a little bit more upright or on some sort of an incline.”The New York-based trainer — who works with both Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds — is a firm believer in consistency over intensity when it comes to working out, especially with an expectant client.“Right now [her fitness goal is] to have a healthy delivery and be a healthy human being and be the mother that she wants to be for her family,” Saladino told Us. “And I think right now that’s her role.

She’s trying to turn around and [think], ‘How can she make always make this a little bit easier, that next delivery. How can she rebound a little bit quicker?’ But she’s really done an amazing job at just saying, ‘This is a beautiful time in my life, I’m going to embrace it.
