The Pull Up is a great full body exercise when done correctly and through the entire range of motion. Palms facing out and starting in a full elbow locked position, pull your body so that your chin is above the bar. Remember to engage your core and keep your feet glued together the entire movement. Modifications can and will be necessary as you progress through your pregnancy. Think about bands to take weight off or substitute ring rows to continue to maintain mid back strength.
