Showing off her burgeoning baby bump in an array of sports bras and leggings, the mother-to-be was put through her paces in the snaps.
Lucy, who is currently nine months pregnant with her first child, relaunched the programme on her fitness app as a result of her own pregnancy journey.
The star confessed she had suffering with nausea and fatigue in her first trimester, which meant she was unable to keep up with her usual gym routine.
After experiencing the discomfort first hand, Lucy opted to make some changes to the programme so that it doesn’t cause unnecessary stress on mums to be.

Lucy explained to MailOnline: ‘It’s difficult to predict how you are going to feel day to day.
‘Some days you feel exhausted, some days you feel nauseous and some days you quite simply don’t fancy doing a workout.’
Referencing her business partner and personal trainer Cecilia Harris, Lucy continued: ‘Having said that, we wholeheartedly believe in the physical and mental benefits of staying active and healthy during your pregnancy and during your recovery…
‘There is still so much uncertainty about whether you can exercise while pregnant and what types of exercises you can do.
‘Myself, Cecilia and the RWL team are passionate about helping to educate people on the benefits of exercising while pregnant.’
