Hannah Bower, a fitness influencer and mother-to-be, proves that staying active is possible even during pregnancy. Currently expecting her third child, Bower continues to share her favorite workouts with her followers on Instagram. In a recent post, she demonstrated a modified full-body workout tailored for the busy holiday season, featuring exercises like hamstring curls and pull-ups. Captioning the post, “A quicker full body workout for the busy holiday season! 👌🏽,” Bower inspires her community to stay consistent and adapt workouts to fit their individual needs.
She Does Hamstring Curls
Bower is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. She talked about what she likes about the exercise in her post’s caption. “I did hamstring curls instead of crab marches because at 30 weeks pregnant those bad boys didn’t feel great on my pelvis! 🥴 There is ALWAYS ways to modify and get the most out of your training for YOU.”
She Lifts Weights

Bower is seen using a barbell in her Instagram post. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”
She Does Deadlifts
Bower is seen doing deadlifts with a barbell in her Instagram post. ACE Fitness states that exercises like deadlifts with a weight can have a lot of benefits. “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”
She Does Pullups

Bower is seen doing an easier version of a pull-up in her Instagram video. Pull-ups have a lot of benefits. Asphalt Green states, “Pull-ups are a fantastic way to improve upper-body strength. This exercise primarily targets your back and biceps, but involves many stabilizing muscles in your core, arms, and shoulders. Depending on the way you grip the bar, you can even work your chest.”
She's Consistent
Bower talked about the importance of staying consistent with workouts in the caption of this Instagram post. “In order for something to become a habit, you have to keep doing it even through the times you don’t feel like it. Discipline is created through being consistent. We all know motivation isn’t a constant continuous thing you just have. It comes and goes.”
